- AMA - Dev's Answers ๐ - 28 November 2024
Hi everyone, A big thank you to all those who joined last weekโs AMA and for your ongoing support! Hereโs a recap of the questions and answersโplus a little sneak peek! ๐ Who's your favourite character in Mindcop? Sean. He was a lot of fun to write and animate. Second place goes to Robin for the same reasons. Any plans for a sequel or DLC? Sorry, but there are no plans to do a sequel or DLC right now. If I can continue to work on games, then I would want to try something new and different. Any plans for a release of the OST for purchase? Kevin is working on that. It will happen soon I think. Really hoping for a sequel and more background to the main character duo. What were some influences for this game? It really reminded me of some of my favourite games/media like AI: The Somnium Files, Inception, ID Invaded. It certainly is up there now as well :) Thank you! No plans for a sequel riโฆ

๐Dev Notes๐ If you haven't encountered an issue similar to the unspoiled section of the patch note, avoid clicking on anything marked as a spoiler. Patch note: Fixed a minor english localization typo on murder time. Fixed a bug with Benji giving you the overlook path even if you already have it. Fixed a bug with Sean when discussing the topic "Blackmail" where Mindcop says the Note should still be in Rebecca's trash even though he took it and gave it to Marry. Fixed a bug happening if you fail on a Impossible or Hard Mindsurf and then do the Linda Training that would give you the Achievements for completing them. Fixed a bug about Mindcop sometimes saying he can't look through stuff in the giftshop while people are there even when he's alone. Fixed a graphic glitch in Alex's Truth door. Fixed a text overflow in Eliot's Truth door.
