Detective Butler: Maiden Voyage Murder

Despite rewriting it from scratch this year (for the third time), we're already beyond 25,000 words, which is more than half of the original game's wordcount. The final game will likely be around 200,000 words long, so we've still got a ways to go, but we're making excellent time. Also, we've decided to draw all artwork in-house rather than commission it, cutting down on costs while also enabling us to draw whatever assets we need in order to make the best possible game. We've been pleasantly surprised by the positive reactions to our unique art style, an unintentional cross between Hotel Dusk and Paper Mario: Please visit detectivebutler.com to read all about the game and sign up to our mailing list. We'll send updates on the game directly to your e-mail, specifically to let you know when there's a release of a demo you can play (and then eventually the full game). We will still post updates on Steam, but this list will help us know exactly how many people are excited about the next installment of Detective Butler, across all of our platforms, and how we can best focus our efforts to gain more fans. Our goal is to have an hour-long demo for you to play by April, which you'll be able to access from the sequel's Steam page. The demo itself is almost done (it contains just the first chapter) but we'll need time to polish and refine what's there for an ideal experience (and set up the Steam page too). We really want this thing to knock your socks off, so please look forward to exciting stuff coming soon! - Goldbar Games
