Being a self-employed detective can be exhausting! One way you can write tomorrow's paper is choosing pre-written stories stowed away in your filing cabinet. Learn more about the town's history and fun quirks and raise your affinity with the residents. Or speedrun your job. 🤡 #indiegame #gamedev

✨He's what makes our town possible.✨ Constantly working without complaints, his refuge in the diner is well-deserved. Martin lets him stay as long as he needs. In return, a gracious tip is left on the table. Well, it's time for a formal introduction, please give a warm welcome to Donovan! 👏🏼

Long road trip ahead? Our Town is the rest and respite station you need. Stop by the local diner for some grub and visit the general store on your way out for any last-minute essentials. Do be careful, though. Some areas are worth sight-seeing, but curiosity is not without its consequences.

Welcome to the Corner Store, the hub of Our Town's groceries and home goods! 🎣 Ellie helps run the store with her father. She takes over the main floor operations solo and prefers it that way. (Note: Taken from an early build of the game.) #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedevelopment

✨Welcome the first few residents of Our Town!✨ Martin, Ellie, and Agnes are high school friends who all lead different establishments around town. Who would you take up as your first friend? #indiedev #characterart #gamedev #mysterygame
A young man resembling Mick Jagger cooks an egg with a massive flame above it. He is wearing a stained 60's diner apron, an open button-up, and paper hat. His stubbled chin and hairy chest and arms barely makes up the amount of hair spilling beneath his hat.

Name: Martin Jenkins
Age: 23
Height: 6'0
Birthday: February 14
Likes: Composing, Writing, Milkshakes
Dislikes: Vegetables, Bugs
Skills: Guitar, Calculating (food costs)

About him: Works as a chef at the local diner run by his parents but assumes responsibility of the restaurant while they’re on business trips. As an aspiring musician, he channels most of his energy blasting music in the diner and holding open-mic nights every Saturday. Whether it’s cheering up a friend or wooing an attractive customer, his guitar speaks for him. Deeply cares for his friends and would always take the time to make sure they ’re okay—even if he doesn’t quite know how to handle serious situations.

Quote: Strike while the grill's still hot!A young, spunky woman with a bird's nest of orange hair tied hastily in an exaggerated bun stands behind a checkout counter. In a pink 60's grocery uniform, she's smiling wide, has green eyes and freckles splattered from cheek to cheek. 

Name: Ellie Fletcher
Age: 23
Height: 5'2
Birthday: May 15
Likes: Festivals, Crafting
Dislikes: Messy places
Skills: Repairs, Outdoor games

About her: Running her father’s store, Ellie takes over both customers and stock deliveries. Believes it gives her a sense of purpose. Though, she never forgets her weekend water gun fights with the Neighborhood Kids! The edge in her words are all but malicious and knows when to take a step back. Considers Agnes as her best friend, even if she doesn’t get to see her as often... if at all. Stopping by the diner is enough to make her heart race, but she refuses to admit she grown attached to one particular cook.

Quote: Come in and check out!A pale and undernourished lady stands holding a book in one hand and the other tucked away underneath her purple shawl. Has a dark brown unkempt bob and dark lips that show a frown. The only thing brightening her looks is the big gold and red circular earring she wears.

Name: Agnes Eaves
Age: 25
Height: 5'6
Birthday: November 12
Likes: Coffee, Drawing, Writing
Dislikes: Loud noises, Construction
Skills: Hospitality, Observation

About her: The heart of Our Town’s knowledge and history. Confined to the library (by choice), Agnes surrounds herself in researching and provides a weekly book club event. Was once close to Ellie and Martin, but why she’s distanced herself is unknown. According to the other two, Agnes became increasingly isolated and frail. Maybe it’s because of the research? Each time they visit, she’s gone. All she cares is that they have each other, and maybe it’s for the best she stays away for the time being. Believes in the saying, “In due time."

Quote: Not so loud.

Called into a meeting room, the door shuts behind you, leaving you to examine three photos placed on a deserted table. Picking up a polaroid, you notice some writing underneath. It's nearly illegible to make anything of it. Something about a song? #indiedev #gamedev #characterteaser #ourtown
A hand-drawn illustration of three polaroids on a table. A spotlight shines above them as it also reveals four items scattered around them: a vinyl record fit for a jukebox, a red, white, and yellow box of a popcorn snack called "Sweet Pops", a book, and a hair-tie adorned with two cracked eggs. Two of the three polaroids appear to be female, and the last one male. Each have "???" written on their pictures. They are all silhouettes.

🛠️✨August Update with Donovan! ✨🛠️ Good to have Donovan, our lovely construction worker around town to help us out. A man of few words, but I'm sure he's a softie at heart. #indiedev #devlog #MondayBlogs
A 60's themed sunset graphic titled "August Update with Donovan" and a chibi-Donovan underneath.Welcome to our first devlog! Don't touch that dial, because we're about to broadcast some seriously cool updates—no static, just pure game dev goodness!

We are excited to announce our first single-player RPG title, Our Town, is under deep production for a demo! What started out as a college semester project is now coming to PC (more on that soon!) 

Planned for release on October 24, 2024, stop by our lovely Diner to get a taste of what our full game will look like. Jump into the action– where you’ll find things that may not be what they seem.Discover, write, deliver. Players will take up the role of Our Town’s newspaper delivery person. Experience delivering papers, chatting with residents, solving a mystery, and writing the daily paper. Through making choices at events and in writing the paper, branching storylines are a staple for an investigative mystery like this one.

We at Fish Truck Studios are working hard to make all of this possible! Expressive character art, 2D Point-and-Click backgrounds, character models, and our entire town map are all being updated to better player experience.

We also have a deduction system being implemented. This system has gone through many iterations, but we decided to opt for a more “player-led” experience in order to build the mystery's involvement and for the player's choices to bear higher consequences on the story.Stay tuned for more - we plan to have many more updates detailing our progress.

Our entire team at Fish Truck Studios is so excited about what we have in store for our future players! 

That’s all for today folks - Fish Truck Studios, signing off!
