Teaser

Greenlight trailer

Gameplay
You have a team of goons to do your bidding. The game is real-time with pause, so you can take your time to issue commands.
The goal is to get in, avoid detection, steal your target(s), get out - at least that's the plan. A lot of the time you'll be holding up guards, knocking them out, carrying them to someplace quiet. Getting your guns out and blasting away -might- work, but there's a high risk of your guys getting busted or killed when the cops arrive.

Current status
Game is currently on steam early access gathering feedback from players.
12 Playable levels that amounts to 5-7 hours of gameplay and a bonus Ludum dare game mode.

Next goals
Spriter support, final levels

aww man, we were showing our game near you guys at GDC Play and I wanted to come play your game but I totally ran out of time. I think Christine came by to check it out. Anyway, it looks cool and I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses.

Hey, we stopped by your booth and there's some real edgy photographic evidence to prove it (hidden in our blog, maybe). Phantom P.I. looks great.

I told myself to add some content every time I post, so here goes:
We're toying with the idea of making our characters out of pieces that can be animated and offset to fake a tiny bit of perspective. Using spriter is an option worth considering.

Man, that subtle perspective looks splendid!

Edit - how do you do it? 4 layers: hat, head, torso, feet and then rotate each seperately with offset?

Edit Number 2 - I had a go with the offset layers, looks pretty snazz even with shite GFX:

Nice one oodavid. Yeah, I think it works better the more implied the shapes are. More detail means more breaking of the illusion. So gotta find a nice medium.

"The Clue" has definitely been mentioned a few times and we've checked it out. I think someone on the team has played it before.

So here's one pass for the art iteration. Now it's completely top-down. As opposed to the slight tilt from before.

I'm terribly sorry for all the nonesense, but this

Cool concept and cool trailer already. Liked the music, not sure if it's a placeholder or if it's already scored by a composer of your.

Thanks ephoete! Since Aarne is probably sleeping, let me get this one.

We're working with a couple of musicians on the soundtrack already. The goal is to get something authentic - so, real instruments and real musicians. I think the trailer music definitely has the right mood...

Back to The Masterplan....
Here's a comic inspired alternative for the hideout. Sharper shadows, ink sketches left on items.
I will experiment more with this style, mainly to figure out how to break the shadow edges in real time.

More goons. We've only had one this far, so it's time to insert some fresh blood.

Experimenting with comic shading. Breaking the shadow edges with a height map.

More comic style experimentation. Now the shadows have a custom pattern that breaks the edges. It might be a bit too strong, but an interesting test anyhow. The effect of the height map doesn't show as much with it.
