The Off-Duty update is live now!

29 Apr

Hello detectives!

The “Off-Duty” update is live now!

This is our first content update of 2025.

You can now get into the detective spirit and chill with a pack of smokes when a case just gets too demanding (we do not recommend this in real life 😅)

Want to relax after a long day of sleuthing? Try a round of the brand-new digital card game, Wizards. A fantasy-themed grid-based card game. Be the first to bring your AI opponent’s HP to 0 to win. Strategically place your cards on the board, utilise their unique abilities, and watch the battle ensue each turn.

Go a little rogue and take on a secret shoe-stealing side mission (check your local newspaper for details 😜)

This update brings even more bug fixes, game polish and QOL improvements.

Get back on the case, detectives. It won't solve itself!

Full list of changes, updates and features listed below

V 40.02 Update Notes:

- New: Smokable cigarettes and cigars! (Steam version only - due to age rating restrictions)
- New: A whole new in-cruncher game; Wizcards.
- New: Secret side hustle opportunity, check the newspaper for info…
- New: The player can set their own cruncher passcode in the gameplay options menu.
- New: Player now visible on CCTV Surveillance.
- New: Some new items that were either not in the game or not spawning, including: Violin, Saxophone, Tennis Racket, Banh Mi and Yorkie Pie.*
- Fixed: Player now has complete self profile info.
- Fixed: A case of cruncher V-Mail app not loading & causing further gameplay issues (including a hard lock).
- Fixed: A possible game freeze when the game was picking a sniper victim.
- Fixed: Attempted fix for photos given to the player from side job disappearing from the case board.
- Fixed: Citizens photographed while asleep or handcuffed appear to stand in the photo.
- Fixed: ‘How Are You Doing’ dialog option spawned the name bribe dialog option.
- Fixed: Player’s belongings were still in their would-be starting apartment, even if the ‘Sandbox Starting Apartment’ setting was turned off. They also had a key.
- Fixed: Some grammar mistakes with double use of ‘hair’ when describing hair type and colour.
- Fixed: Using a cruncher placed in décor mode immediately could cause it (and you) to clip through the floor.
- Fixed: The ‘Seen or Heard Anything Unusual?’ Dialog option did not work when speaking over the telephone.
- Fixed: If the player answered a phone call intended for an NPC, there would be no dialog, and if the player hung up and picked up the phone again they would say the intended receiver’s lines.
- Fixed: Telephone call logs don’t give away too much info in their connections tab.
- Fixed: Loading the game in some rare cases could teleport the player to a different apartment.
- Fixed: Briefcase now more consistently stays inside the world.

- Fixed: You now cannot drop objects while in an air duct (to avoid them clipping through the side and getting lost)

As we've mentioned in a previous dev blog, the Shadows of Doubt investigations are continuing throughout the year. We are happy to now show you our 2025 development case board outlining our upcoming updates and patches!

The first update lands on Tuesday, the 29th of April. This update adds a new side mission, the ability to smoke, a new in-game card game and new items. Along with more bug fixes and QOL improvements.

Soon after, we will have a dedicated patch coming out, focusing on fixing reported bugs, further game polish and QOL improvements

In August, we will be launching the “Modifiers” update! This update will allow players to add modifiers to the game, really changing how you play and how the world reacts to the player. Much more information about these modifiers and the update will be available closer to its release. This update will also bring more bug fixes and game polish.

In autumn, we will release another dedicated patch to continue to improve the game's polish and gameplay experience.

Lastly, for 2025, we will be launching the “Workshop” update! This includes Steam workshop support and even more modding tools. Along with more bug fixes and game polish, and QOL improvements. More news to be shared about this update later in the year.

Shadows of Doubt DevBlog 43: What to Expect in 2025

5 Feb

Hello detectives! This is a follow-up blog from the last one where I discussed new content for Shadows in 2025. We have fleshed out some plans now and I wanted to share a little on what we're working on for the game this year. If you haven't already, I recommend reading the last blog post for some content:[colepowered.com] Mainly that we have decided to not add anything massive as to do so would likely cause issues with the game systems we've already spent a lot of time working on over early access & beyond.

With that in mind, let us jump in! What I do want to focus on this year in addition to more bug fixes is giving the game a new coat of polish. These content-focused updates will arrive in 3 instalments, roughly spaced out over the year with exact timings still to be decided at this point.

For the first update, we're going to be adding a couple of things that we ran out of time to include in the initial release; some new items, an easter egg side hustle, as well as a couple of quality-of-life gameplay enhancements to give the player more of a presence in the world. Also, expect to see a fun little cruncher addition one of our programmers has been working on.

The second content update is the one I'm most excited about I think; this one will focus on gameplay modifiers. We're going to be adding several different 'modes' that modify the game in some way that will change how you play it. These will range from some fairly standard to completely unexpected ideas. I'm looking forward to sharing those with you closer to the time.

Towards the end of the year, we'll refocus our efforts on game modding. As we've mentioned previously we're keen on enabling Steam workshop support. We're also looking to expand the ways in which the game can be modded. A lot of specifics here are still wrapped up in some technical questions so apologies I can't be more specific but this is the general theme of the third content update.

Along with these updates you can still expect our regular patches which will focus on fixes; we're going to be aiming for a patch roughly every 2 months throughout the year including the above content updates.
Hopefully that's a little something to look forward to in 2025!

Shadows of Doubt V 39.13 Experimental Branch Patch Notes

15 Jan

Hey folks, we have another new experimental patch for you all.

Experimental Branch:

These builds are only found on our ‘experimental’ steam branch. You can access this by right clicking the game in your steam library, choosing ‘properties’, then the ‘betas’ tab. The experimental build should be in the dropdown list. Experimental builds may be less tested than the default branch builds. Most experimental branch patches will make their way to the default branch after a week or two (barring any issues discovered).

Please do see the public bug list with comments from Cole about what is being worked on at the moment here: https://shadowsofdoubt.notion.site/0053dddf306643eea972c6595ac897d2?v=25d97977c0ad43b5811787d11ee27987

Shadows of Doubt V 39.12 Patch Notes

11 Des 2024

Hey Detectives, another patch incoming now with some more fixes ahead of the holiday season.

Fixed: Some number pad selection issues while using a controller (using D-Pad selection moves the virtual cursor)
Fixed: Missing Work ID and Wallet in Tutorial
Fixed: Incorrect citizen age calculation

Fixed: Failed inputs after text input

Fixed: An issue with the control state flags
Fixed: An unlisted bug where you could get stuck without control access in the main menu

Shadows of Doubt Devblog #42: Looking Forwards

10 Des 2024

Hello detectives! It’s been a couple of months since the launch of 1.0 and I wanted to share a general update to talk about what you can expect next year.

First off, I’m extremely pleased to announce that Shadows of Doubt is part of this year’s Jingle Jam[jinglejam.tiltify.com] games bundle; a fundraising initiative with a collection of games available for donations over £35. All money goes to some excellent causes. This ends on December 14th, so be quick about it!

[[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35172403/7fe73f100df383f60845f75b3257393f61c5da2d.jpg[/img]

On the dev team side, we’ve been mostly keeping our head down and working on resolving bugs. We’re finding we’re currently solving around ~15 issues per patch, with patches coming about every 3 or 4 weeks. As we’ve been prioritising more serious bugs, the number of those is coming down. Our main priority will be to continue with these next year and give the game the polish it deserves.

We found throughout early access that adding something ‘big’ to the game (and when I say ‘big’ I mean something that fundamentally interacted with the game’s core systems), would often break something we had either previously implemented or fixed. So doing this while trying to polish the game often resulted in a ‘two steps forward, one step back’ experience where we would add something cool, only to break something else.

Shadows of Doubt is a game with a large scope, having been constructed over 8 years, and 7 of those by a rather scatter-minded individual (myself). It would be fair to say that the codebase rather reflects this: An interconnected beast to say the least! Modifications to it on a fundamental level can often result in a bunch of things somewhere along the line going wrong, and the scope of the game means this isn’t often obvious.

So what’s next? Well as previously stated we do want to get the game in a better place polish-wise as a priority. Then we’ll likely start adding a couple of things that were nearly done but for whatever reason didn’t make the final release; these are some pretty small but interesting additions. Then we’ll look at adding some more significant things as the year goes on.

It will likely take the form of more of what’s there already (buildings, objects etc), or more modular self-contained systems that don’t weave in with everything else quite so tightly. The key here will be to avoid adding things that mess up the original ecosystem of the game to prevent the game from going backwards and polish getting wiped out.

We realise there’s scope to take the game several steps in so many directions, and people are really excited to see and explore those possibilities. We certainly are too, but the reality of game dev means we’d prefer to keep a lot of those grander schemes to a future sequel project where we can properly build around them rather than attempt to tack them on. That said, I’ve no doubt that we can add some really cool things to the game in 2025.

It’s all on the vaguer side right now as we have yet to finalize what we’re going to do exactly. Plus the dev team need a break! But you’ll hear us pipe up when the cogs are turning again, that’s for sure!

Thanks for your continued support for Shadows of Doubt.

Shadows of Doubt V 39.11 Patch Notes

18 Nov 2024

Hello Detectives, we have a fresh batch of patch notes with a new suite of bug fixes for you all. The work continues in the background towards making the best version of Shadows of Doubt possible and more patches are on the way. Thank you for your continued support folks

Fixed: Apartment storage items missing on load game
Fixed: Player movement could sometimes become restricted when crouched
Fixed: When a new crime scene is opened, enforcers no longer target other people who live there
Fixed: Citizens should no longer attempt to turn on the lights in a room where another citizen is sleeping
Fixed: Citizens could get stuck sitting while waiting for the player to come and meet them for side job info. These side jobs can now also be failed if you don’t meet them in time.
Fixed: Multiple entries of the same dialog option for side jobs
Fixed: The player could not inspect the menu in the hotel
Fixed: A tweak to how disabling the sandbox mode murderer works; this will now only take effect after an active one is caught or a new game is started. The previous method could result in some edge cases with the worst of them stopping murderers from ever being re-activated.
Fixed: Kitchen overhead cabinet interaction collider could block pinned notes from being interacted with.
Fixed: Placing an Ash Tray or Green Desk Lamp in décor mode could result in the object interacting with the player movement physics in weird ways.
Fixed: Direction Arrow could reappear when disabled in game options after the player used the camera or observed CCTV.
Fixed: In older generated cities, prices of certain items that have since been changed in more recent updates could create an infinite source of money if you purchased then sold them at pawn shops.
Fixed: Having a guest pass for an address on an Echelon floor didn’t give you access to the floor without it being classed as trespassing. Having a guest pass will now also allow you to enter the floor’s communal area without trespassing.
Fixed: Apartment purchase flyers could be spawned for apartments that the player had already purchased.
Fixed: A few spelling mistakes
