The Smoke Room Build 16 (Murdoch): Sparkles Bleared and Black and Blind


Hey folks! George here. This month's update is for Murdoch; it's dropping fairly close to his canon birthday, too!

-Writing by George Squares

-New Jim Sprites by 9KLIPSE

-Teasers by 9klipse and Telbat

-2 new CG's for Murdoch route 

-Backgrounds by Telbat and Kardamon

Thanks as always for your monthly support.

NOTE: Please Scroll a texts boxes back from the last save point of the previous murdoch build for the correct music change! Or else you will be hearing the cheery telescope music during a tense scene.

Android version will come out slightly later.


Changelog for the public update: 

- Fixed a couple typos, mostly just missing periods and unnecessary spaces, with a couple missing capital letters.

- Added Jim to the two previous scenes (school day and breakfast at the Hip). Double check if the expressions work, I can tweak them.

- Added Telbat's 69 CG to the game

- Added 4 new possible positions for sprites: halfright, halfleft, centerright, centerleft. Used in Hip breakfast scene as a test.

- Adjusted the volume of a couple music pieces that were too loud (that's 90% of the MBs up there, so the build's size won't go up that much)

- Added a few new sound effects for the new scenes (mausoleum door, Holly's bell), used an existing one when Ralph shuts the door with screen shaking

- Tweaked music in the opening half of the build: it was "quiet" on loop from the observatory till the tunnels reveal, so added a break for the night after leaving school (just crickets till morning). Changed it in mausoleum talk to "contemplation" to make that scene stand out a little more.

- Added and changed Murdoch sprites to shirtless to match with the CG in the final scene.
