Nothing says a new year is coming up more than the announcement of a new Carol Reed Mystery! Thank you Mikael for never disappointing us!

Check out the official website here.

Check out the screens here.

Check out the previous games here.

Quote
Eager to make some money for her upcoming vacation, Carol agrees to help Dalton Jonson to investigate the recent disappearance of his wife, Daria. Carol's investigation soon reveals that an elusive video game designer seems to have a very hostile attitude towards Daria.

In a series of eccentric and unsuccessful games, the game designer is taking responsibility for three recent brutal murders: Three men who were sedated, strangled, and placed in public locations with their hands tied behind their backs.


Happy Gaming!

Thank you Ana, and everybody else!

My modestly hinders me from saying anything positive about the game, but what I can say is that it includes the most innovative display of a Gameboomers logo in gaming history. It will be interesting to see if everyone will spot it.

I don't post here very much, in fact hardly ever although I'm a regular lurker... but I would like to thank Mikael for his latest game. Only played for a minute or so and I know it's going to be good with superb, sharp Swedish location photos as usual and an easy-to-use interface as always. You can even play a tune on the glass bowl on Carol Reed's (Mikael's?) kitchen table... LOL! Why does my house never look as spotlessly clean and tidy though?... : - (

Forgot to ask Mikael which game engine he is now using, as it seems to be more polished than the previous one(s)?

There's a 6 hour time difference between NY and Sweden. The game was available over here in lil' ol' England at around 9am GMT, so might be possible for you to buy soon.

Thank you Pugwash.

Since the last game, I'm using EgoVenture, a custom-made framework based on Godot:

The previous games are currently being migrated to EgoVenture.

Is anybody having trouble downloading the game. When I click the link, the download starts and then quits. I haven't had problem downloading from other sites.

Re: Announcing Carol Reed Mystery #18 - The Game Maker - 01/02/23 06:33 AM

I downloaded in Firefox without any problem.

Re: Announcing Carol Reed Mystery #18 - The Game Maker - 01/02/23 09:16 AM

Dorf, if you're still having problems downloading, email me or send me a message, and I can send you an alternative link.

Thanks Mikael. I'd seen you mention the new engine before but couldn't find out where on forum, although I do know that most of your previous games used Wintermute... now almost defunct it seems.

I'll have to delve further into EV and see if I can come up with a rival to match Carol Reed for next Winter!.......... only joking, I wouldn't have the time, skill, patience or even come across the deserted picturesque locations here which appear commonplace in Sweden.

Thank you Mikael, I finally got it. For some reason Edge wouldn't complete the download, I changed to Chrome and it came thru. Thank you I really enjoy your games

Re: Announcing Carol Reed Mystery #18 - The Game Maker - 01/03/23 09:24 AM

I've had a lot of problems with Edge and finding myself having to revert to Chrome, particularly with the filling in of forms online. Never had a problem with downloading games before but this time had to go all around the houses to bypass the draconian Microsoft security. Remember this was a much simpler process in Chrome.

I avoid edge at all costs

That's interesting Tally Ho. I think I might make chrome the default browser again.
