Methods 6 Year Anniversary!

It's been six years since I completed Methods!

To everyone who has been following these games since the initial release, thank you for sticking around these past six years. And welcome to anyone who discovered it recently! With Canada Files finally complete, I was able to focus on finally finishing the artbook.

The Art of Methods

Over the last couple of years, I've slowly been compiling a very comprehensive artbook about Methods: The Detective Competition, with pages on every character with their original design included, my thoughts on each Stage and mystery, and more. I'm happy to say it's finally done! The English version is now available to download on Steam and itch.io, free for anyone who owns the game. If you don't own the game, you can get it on my Patreon page (or get access to it and many other behind the scenes materials by becoming a Patron).

Mystery Score Update

The Mystery Score Update is finally here. Though, after replaying the game and some consideration, it is being implemented a little differently than how I first described. It shows you how many wrong answers you got with a star rating, and the game proceeds as normal. If you get to the "Too Many Wrong Answers" screen because you answered incorrectly too many times, it lets you continue without having to replay the mystery.

I'm sorry it took a whole year since I announced it to get this feature in there, but I wanted to make sure I got Canada Files done first. Have fun seeing what scores you get!

Other Improvements

- Text in the history screen has been given more room to prevent overlapping text

Until next time!
