Return of the Obra Dinn

An Insurance Adventure with Minimal Color

In 1802, the merchant ship Obra Dinn set out from London for the Orient with over 200 tons of trade goods. Six months later it hadn't met its rendezvous point at the Cape of Good Hope and was declared lost at sea.

Early this morning of October 14th, 1807, the Obra Dinn drifted into port at Falmouth with damaged sails and no visible crew. As insurance investigator for the East India Company's London Office, dispatch immediately to Falmouth, find means to board the ship, and prepare an assessment of damages.

Return of the Obra Dinn is a first-person mystery adventure based on exploration and logical deduction.

6 Degrees of Sabotage

One hour ago, a bomb exploded at the mayor's rally.

We have gathered intelligence that implicates the Clockmaker as the mastermind behind the attack. However, the Gambler was seen placing the bomb at the rally. We believe the Clockmaker does not personally know the Gambler.

There is a network of saboteurs disguised among groups of innocent citizens. Bomb instructions were passed between multiple pairs of saboteur acquaintances.

Review the security tapes from today to track the note and uncover the saboteurs.

This is my entry for Ludum Dare 23. Developed in 48 hours, it's based on the idea of 'small world' networks to match the LD theme of 'Tiny World'.

The Republia Times

You've just been assigned the editor-in-chief position at The Republia Times in the glorious and free nation of Republia. You must use your influence to print positive articles that paint Republia in a good light.

I created this as a warmup for Ludum Dare, a 48 hour game-making competition. This is my first quickly-developed game and my first Flash game. Flash debugging is a nightmare but otherwise I had fun. Flixel is great.
