It's been four years since I completed [i]Methods[/i]! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37719413/a02ff736dbf2b650163af3aa73d6296e9b8b9ad4.png[/img] [previewyoutube=8NqIBpHI470;full][/previewyoutube] This was an extremely important year for [i]Methods[/i], as after many years of searching, I finally found and partnered with a publisher — Erabit Studios! They helped me launch the game on mobile, get merch to fans, and so much more! A big thank you to them for helping to support [i]Methods[/i]! And thank you as always to the fanbase for the many many fan-created works! It's so great to see! For this anniversary, I wanted to make sure there was a meaningful update to the game. This Fourth Anniversary update has some big changes which have been requested for a while! [h1]New Hackett, Haney and Lucha Sprites![/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37719413/82fac7f9146e2455a2fd35a4a35fc1d4f342b632.png[/img] Hackett was the first character I drew for the game, and I never updated him, even though he looked a bit less polished than the other sprites in the game. I was still figuring out the style as I went. Because he kind of became the "face" of the game in all my promo images, I was a little worried about changing him at this point. But on the other hand, it's Hackett — so I decided to go for it. The new sprite fits in so well that maybe you don't even notice a difference! Haney was the second character I drew, and I wanted to match her [i]Canada Files[/i] look better, and correct some things with her outfit. She is still her aloof self as always, and I did keep the super big bulky flashlight. And now she looks more like she does in the CGs throughout the game — even when I was making the game, I was still tweaking her design. Lucha was also one of the first sprites I created still left mostly unchanged in the game since I began working on it. After this update, the "first sprites" will be the "latest sprites"! I hope that you like the new looks! [h1]Text History[/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37719413/5b16b7594260e7ed3833084a40b557909359ae76.png[/img] This is a nice Quality of Life update which was requested for some time — now instead of being able to view previous dialogue by rolling back, you can view a text history screen, easily accessible from the dialog box. [h1]New Side Images[/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37719413/913c4bad56071f1b1ee8ccfe7b8f9bf4c7e54086.png[/img] The awkward floating heads are gone! I replaced all the old side images with new ones which show the characters' bodies as well, just like in [i]Canada Files[/i]. [h1]Checkmarks on Solved Evidence[/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37719413/cf420dcec3d324a831226c01106d477e554ef215.png[/img] Borrowing a feature from the mobile version of [i]Methods[/i], checkmarks now appear when you have looked at evidence during investigations! And as a special bonus as part of the celebration, the full soundtrack to [i]Methods[/i] has been released as one big video to YouTube and bilibili ! Now you can solve mysteries with it playing in the background! ;) [previewyoutube=ZZdVTF78PUg;full][/previewyoutube] Enjoy the update with 60% off, and thanks for making [i]Methods[/i]' fourth year its most successful one yet!!
