Murder Mystery Devlog: How we came up with a murder mystery game for our final

For the final of AP CSA, we split off into groups in order to make a project for our second semester final.

I quickly suggested that we make a murder mystery game for our project to my two other teammates and it was settled. I was very excited to use Unity for our project. It was originally supposed to be a game where you had to find a culprit except the murderer was randomized so that each time it would be someone different.

We originally planned for five different NPCs that could be the suspect and the possibility of you, the player, also having a chance to be on the other side. However, the plan quickly proved overtly ambitious so we had to scale down to 3 NPCs. Nevertheless, we were able to keep the core mechanic intact.

Overall, for my first group and original game, Murder Mystery is truly one to remember!
