As many have mentioned, it was like an isolated Star Trek episode, and I mean that in the best way possible. The voice acting was great, although I would have liked to see the writing be a bit more robust. If these characters had personalities and motivations to go along with everything else this would be a much stronger narrative.\r<br\/>At the risk of sounding repetitive, I'll echo the issues with mouse sensitivity and discerning who is speaking in group conversations. The music also didn't seem to fit the mood of the story and concept, and ended well before I finished the game. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I hope you continue to work on this game - with fleshed-out visuals, stronger writing and maybe another mechanic or two (an inventory\/clue system, perhaps), this could be a really strong experience."},{"author_name":"metaldemon","author_uid":"15675","time":"May 19, 2013 @ 12:33pm","epoch":1368966480,"text":"nice game, it certainly has an experience going for it :D"}],"images":["ld26\/11891-633a0cff552dfb83f7a5360336650d6c.jpg","ld26\/11891-7fb8a7399f924731e0b93a867adcb4ff.jpg","ld26\/11891-9738a2c89e362b761b5ba970db9c9962.jpg","ld26\/11891-507c74b9779bac7a494bc0d1d15c374b.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/9volt.github.io\/ld26\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/9volt\/ld26","text":"Souce (github)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"25074","g_author":"11891","g_event":"LD26","g_eventkey":"16","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"25104","g_title":"Murder on the Tuberosum","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"261","g_commentcount":"23","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/11891-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/11891-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/11891-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/11891-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"tl;dr - Walk around ship and listen to crew members (to make them speak walk into rooms, stay in room until they finish).  Attempt to save the crew by brigging the correct person at the correct time.  The game is not random in anyway so use your knowledge from previous plays to find the killer.\r\n\r\n\r\nThis is our game for Ludum Dare 26 jam: Murder on the Tuberosum\r\n\r\nThis is our first completed Ludum Dare game and we hope you guys enjoy it!\r\nWe had a lot of fun making it! Thanks to everyone that tries it out, and thank you to our friends for voice acting and writing music for us!\r\n\r\nStory:\r\nThe Captain thinks a mutiny is underway on the Tuberosum, but is that the only threat the ship faces? As the ship's Security Officer it's your job to save the ship and her crew, but you can only brig a single crew member at a time. Can you save the Tuberosum?\r\n\r\nTheme: Minimalism:\r\n\r\n    Minimal Abilities: You can walk, listen, call red alert, and brig. No guns, No powers.\r\n    Minimal HUD: The only HUD element is the brig option.\r\n    Minimal Style: Explore a clean modern spaceship with a crew of simple stylized aliens.\r\n\r\nHints:\r\nIf nothing seems to be happening you may need to press the 'B' key to call everyone to bridge so you can choose who to brig.\r\nThere are many branches, you will need multiple play-throughs to see them, simply reload the webpage to start over.\r\n\r\nCredits:\r\nMusic - Jeff Craft\r\nVoice Acting - Robert Price and Chris Schulze\r\nEverything else - Joseph and Sonya Utecht\r\n\r\nTools Used:\r\n    Unity Pro Trial\r\n    ProBuilder Trial\r\n    Chat Mapper Trial\r\n    Sculpturis Alpha\r\n    Blender\r\n    Audacity\r\n    App Notion\r\n    Paint Tool Sai(Read Me-art)\r\n    chronolapse - timelapse (will be uploaded later)\r\n    notepad++\r\n    notepad\r\n    friends' voice and music talents\r\n\r\n*Update*\r\nFixed a few bugs found while making the ports to win\/osx and linux (however there is still a few more before we are ready to publish them), web version and source have been updated.\r\nIf you are experiencing very high mouse sensitivity you may need to turn your mouse sensitivity down as there is no good way to adjust this from the unity web interface, sorry we didn't catch this in development. :(","title":"Murder on the Tuberosum"}
