I’ve always thought a knowledge inventory would be quite interesting. I’m eager to see how the short-term memory inventory will work out.

Vince, you are my personal gameplay hero! :D

Linus Bruckman was brilliant, and now your memory-mechanism – looking forward to it. Thanks for the great games so far. :)

I like to read your developer diary. The game looks promising and quite clever. I’ll be totally satisfied if you manage to make it one fourth as open as you promise.

[...] To find out how said inventories interact, along with a few things about the way dialogue will be handled in Resonance and quite frankly everything else the developer has to say, well, you know where to click, don’t you? It’s quite a read, really. [...]

I’ve really enjoyed reading this. I agree with you on so many points about good game design and the negatives you discussed are some of the many, many examples of why I’ve been so turned off adventure games in recent years.

Sounds like you’ve found a good solution to the dialogue problem. I’ve seen many similar things done before, one of which is used by a favourite of mine, Giftpia. In it, you are given/buy cameras that can take photos of the other characters which you can then show to other characters if you want to discuss that … particular character. I hope that makes sense to you.

Anyhoo, a whole bunch of good luck and support to you!

Thanks, Deirdra. Though, I’m far more excited to see how your multiple puzzle solutions turn out. I’m trying to make mine have repercussions on the game, but because of the tight narrative, most alternate solutions lead straight to the same results as the other solutions. In my case, it’s more to accommodate different playing styles, while, from what I understand, in your game, the different solutions will have significant impact on the story or later puzzles. Definitely looking forward to it!
