24. Iba a decir #MirrorsEdge (que la merece), pero voy a dar cariño a lo #indie: #JennyLeClue es un juego detectivesco con sabor a novela juvenil del género. Muy, muy infravalorado. En #MeriStation os hablé de él: https://as.com/meristation/2019/10/19/analisis/1571497465_173011.html

Jenny LeClue is currently $2 on Switch. I'm enjoying it greatly. If you don't know what it is, the game is about a fictional girl detective whose author is in danger of losing his publishing contract if this new book isn't AMAZING. That's actually affecting the choices I make, although that could just be because I'm a writer. Even without that layer, the author is pretty entertaining.

I just finished #JennyLeClue and I am not sure I like it. The art style and voice acting are fantastic, but something about the gameplay doesn't feel very satisfying. It could be the controls (sometimes Jenny can't run when you need to go back and forth for a puzzle), or the puzzles being too handholding.

Haha, programmer jokes.

This reminds me of Thimbleweed Park. Designing adventure games well is REALLY hard + this one is very well-designed so far, though it's not difficult. How it uses 2D + 3D, not to mention camera work, is worth looking at for future adventure games. I love #ReturnToMonkeyIsland + this is managing to outshine it at times while years older. I was studying one of the early environments to figure out how they managed to create such good looking "2D" backgrounds w/ changing perspective as you walk through them. I think it looks better than #BrokenAge in motion.

They used billboards + then rotated some toward the horizon + built 3D pieces out of flat ones, with other elements being only flat. They built environments out of tiles + reused art assets, but it looks great. I do like Return's background art more. I think backgrounds that are like Return plus the 2D + 3D mix here can be done, still made up of less recurring parts but cleverly used unique billboards.

Hahaha, Jenny LeClue just moved and almost fell off the roof in the earlier screenshot without any input from me. I just left it on the screen and she suddenly did that.

That's a REALLY great video game night sky.

I don't think I'm supposed to be down here.

(Really enjoying the game btw)

More on awesome #games:

Completed #JennyLeClue on #NintendoSwitch last night.

Pretty damn excellent mystery game all in all. Not too fond of the cave section in the end, but otherwise, it was really great.

Streaming Monday at 6pm EST and I need to know what I should play. @DrepandStone @tenrulesall @sadsorceryy @megsrus @NightDemonQueen @GhostHostLauren
