Tommi Horttana writes about Lies and Seductions and his experiences on developing the game his portfolio blog.



We published new teaser. Watch it at http://www.liesandseductions.com/ or download it http://www.liesandseductions.com/lies_teaser.m4v (quicktime).

We did also redesign to Lies and Seduction web site. We still need to make edit and proof texts. I hope to find time for that soonish ().



Version 1.0.1 published. The version contains corrections as follows:

  • dialogue logic fixes;
  • dance mini-game score calculation error fix;
  • heart indicators are posted after dialogue ends, so it is possible to see the indicator.

Known issues: The windows version have rendering artifacts. The correction is waiting for Unity 2.6 version which should contain the fix for this problem.





The game can be downloaded for free at www.liesandseductions.com. OSX and Windows versions available. Works also in Linux via Wine.

Lies and Seduction earned Special Recognition: Adventure Game Development at Unity Awards 2008. We submitted a very early version to the contest. Hopefully the current version is even better.

Unity people got the videos out from the Unity 2008 conference yesterday, and I went to see what they say about the game. Sam Kalman introduced the game roughly as follows:

Lies and Seductions… Very much an adult  game. Not for kids at all. Um and umm. I mean, you try to get the right person to sack.



We just published new beta. Slowly working toward final release. You can download the game at http://www.liesandseductions.com/download.html.
