I've been doing research for the project I'm working on and these are feckin' WILD

Hey folks! I have no idea if this is allowed, but I'm sure it'll get deleted if not haha. I'm 1/3 of the team working on Murder Meet Cute, an interface drama meets visual novel, where you follow 90s alt chick Amy as she uncovers a murder conspiracy through the computers she fixes on the night shift. The fixing mechanic of the game are nonograms that turn into pixel bugs!

What you see in the gif is the 2nd puzzle in the game. I'm not gonna lie to you and say that you're gonna get the biggest challenge of your life with the puzzles; it's very much interactive fiction first, with puzzles as flair. But, I do think it will be an enjoyable experience for people who like nonograms! The puzzles will get progressively more difficult as you uncover deeper and darker information.

The game has a demo that's available to try if anyone fancies it, and if you wishlist you'll get an email when it's out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4253020/Murder_Meet_Cute/

Also! If there's anyone here that would fancy playtesting the full game before launch, and giving us feedback on the puzzles, that would extremely cool.

Hey y'all! Been working on a small game for the last year or so that I'd love to share with you all. I'm 1/3 of the team working on Murder Meet Cute, an interface drama meets visual novel, where you follow goth chick Amy as she uncovers a murder conspiracy through the computers she fixes on the night shift. The game will probably sit in around 3-4 hours play time, for a tight narrative experience,

We had a lot of fun adding nods to 90s media and culture with this game, including the feeling of the early internet via ICQ like chats, and internet forums. Even the game UI is based on 90s FMV games =D We also wanted to give players the power fantasy of playing someone in customer service who doesn't take anyones shit, and thus Amy is a strong and loud character (based heavily on Tiffy from raw time lol).

If you like other interface style games, you'll likely enjoy this one. There's a demo available now if you'd like to give it a go for yourself and see if it's for you: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4253020/Murder_Meet_Cute/

Sup, hopefully this is allowed. I'm 1/3 of a small indie team working on our game Murder Meet Cute, and I thought this would be fun to show the kind of inspirations we've had into the game. I've been pretty vague about what exactly about each game has influenced us, but that's partly because it's also kinda hard to define. The game is obviously not a FMV, but the style of the shop part of the game and how the backgrounds/characters look has been. The UI is also somewhat influenced by it, as well as old school VHS tapes.

The overall influences are also so much more. Movies, TV, books, living through 90s culture. Also true crime dramas lol.

Anyways hopefully some folks found this interesting! Happy to answer questions.

As the title states, I'm 1/3 of a team working on an indie video game set in the 90s, and part of the game is investigating other peoples computers. Part of that is irl photos so I've spent the better part of a year slowly building up photos from friends, family and beyond, to include on folks machines. Here's just a snippet that I thought I'd share here because they're such a vibe! (Cat tax at the end)

Hello everyone! We've just released the demo for our game here on Itch.io. Murder Meet Cute is a 90s FMV inspired interface drama, where you play as a 90s snarky goth chick who fixes computers on the night shift. Chat with friends, tell customers were to shove it, and uncover a murder conspiracy? All in a days work.

This has been worked on for about a year with a group of 3 people. We've worked remotely in our spare time around client work to make it happen. It's been a labor of love, so we're super excited to see what folks think of it!

I bought this JVC gr-d240e and I'm having issues finding an AV cable to connect to my machine. One option is I can buy a fireware card and cable, but I believe the driver info for this hasn't been updated past windows 8 so it still may not work. My idea instead was to use an AV lead to connect to one of those USB converters, which means OBS would pick it up like any other cam. But for the life of me I can not find that kind of AV port anywhere. Anyone with any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hey PC Games! I'm here today to tell you about InterfaceX26, what it's about, and my experience of it.

InterfaceX26 is a new festival aiming to put Interface (or Fake OS) games on the map as their own genre. We've got the steam festival, a showcase happening on Saturday, and a game tagging initiative to try and get steam to add a new tag for these games.

Our title was accepted as one of the games, but I've never been involved in anything like this! It has quickly turned into one of the most wholesome communities I've ever been apart of!. Faye (Dear Agony Aunt!) over here says it much better than I could.

There's also an overwhelming presence of women and nb led developers in this space that I wasn't aware of and I really want to give them a shout out:

• Dear Agony Aunt
• Deep Fog Signals
• Everything is going to be OK
• Murder Meet Cute - my team =]
• Qualia
• Videoverse
• DarkwebSTREAMER
• Lily's world XD
• Lets Build a Dungeon
• Terranova
• New Folder
• MyDear.exe
• Gas Station Story
• Omi Oh My AI
• Your Forever Friend
• HOMEPAGE

Lastly, as marketing is something I find a bit soul destroying, I decided to organise some fun alternatives, one of them being an old school 90s webring! You can see it in action on our website - as well as a bit of a puzzle to figure out!

This has been such a great experience, and I hope folks here find interest in these games as much as we do!
