ink spotters

Project Status: Shipped! (more to come)

Ink Spotters is a collaboration with game designer/writer Sean Stewart (Three Story House) and the team at Laughing Nomad to create a new format for graphic novels you can play.

Ink Spotters weave together beautifully illustrated stories with sudoku-like puzzle solving to create a fun, non-linear sleuthing experience.

Our first two adventures feature the classic consulting detective Sherlock Holmes in some brand new stories.  Both are out now and available on the app store.  Check out inkspotters.com for more details!

It's been a really fun project, and one that turned out to be much trickier to design than I first expected. It's been great opportunity to roll up my sleeves and work on almost every aspect of the game - from design to code, sound design and music.  Small team, tiny budget, working on a strange new idea while trying to make it accessible to casual and mobile gamers.  Fun!
