forever obsessed with the fact that the clue crew just reblogs the same posts so i’ll be scrolling through my mutuals’ posts and it’s just the same meme about koko kringles 43 times in a row
Okay so following the theory that HeRInteractive outsourced the entire game #34 and they just got it back from other companies, which would explain why they would do such poor buildup marketing and only announce it 3 weeks before release - I assumed that these last 3 weeks they need for beta testing and bug fixing. So I asked my friend who works in game development and beta testing whether 3 weeks would be enough to test and fix game's bugs - she said NO.
Which makes sense, that's a very short window of time to catch the bugs, report them, get developers to locate the issues, fix them, test them again, it's a process that can take months! So. If they really did give it just 3 weeks to be fixed of bugs... we might be getting another buggy game.
like surely no one at HeR was like, yeah, let's hint that we'll be announcing a new Nancy Drew game soon as a joke, that'll go over real well with the fans since so many of them have been constantly asking us about it
herinteractive just absolutely called me out for going through the code. totally busted. but i love the humor in it.
“so you’re snooping the code, sleuth! congrats on finding this, you’re quite the snooper! we’d love to tell you more, but it’s against NDA so... you’ll have to wait for our planned releases! trust us, we’d love to chat and share, but this mystery must say just that until all is revealed!”
The Junior Detective hints from Ned in the early games are so funny it’s like
Nancy: I need a hint.
Ned: Sometimes I really just want to spin an ornate globe three times to the left and once to the right and then place a giant chess knight on top of the pedestal that rises in front of the fireplace. Do you ever feel like that, Nancy?
