Overview
This game was originally created as an entry to the Indie Game Making Contest 2018. Between work, wife and kids, and other bits and pieces, I reduced the scope of the game to ensure I'd have an entry ready for submission. In the end, I came 112th out of 330 entries and didn't want it to end there. I promised myself I'd keep working on the game regardless of the contest's outcome so here we are.
Plot
In Bail's world, if you don't turn up for your trial then your next of kin is forced to face your sentence instead! Bail's a bounty hunter, it's his job to track down any no-shows so that their sons, daughters, wives, husbands, nieces, or nephews don't end up serving prison time for crimes their relatives committed!
Gameplay
The game plays like a mix between traditional Final Fantasy, Shenmue, and Yakuza. You'll be given a bounty, have to track the perpetrator down, and then bring him in. This will involve talking to people, finding clues, and lots of punching people!
Current Progress
I have a demo build that was submitted to the IGMC 2018. It shows the basic concept through a simple bounty that sees you tracking down a drugs dealer. Now the IGMC results are out, I'm picking up where I left off to expand on the game by fixing bugs that got reported, acting on player feedback, and expanding the initial bounty. I'm also reviewing the graphics, something I'll expand on below.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this review doesn't get accepted by the site mods. And I really wouldn't blame them if it was shot down. After all, I really don't have any deep insights to offer on "Bail the Bounty Hunter". This isn't because I didn't try to play the game. In fact, I downloaded this game twice in order to see if maybe my initial download had gone bad, but every time I launched this game it simply got stuck on the following load screen.
And while I suppose some would argue I was simply impatient. I'd argue back that it shouldn't take over five minutes for a game this small to load. After all, I was able to start an adventure in "Princess Miyumi and The Necro's Dungeon" in much less time and that game's file size is more then double the size of "Bail the Bounty Hunter". The sadder part is I know a previous download of this game definitely worked. Since there are comments on this game's 2018 IGMC profile about the game and how it works.
And I know other broken entries were simply removed by the judges from the list of entries. So I really don't get how the current download could be broken. Though, I suppose I could just be suffering from a string of bad luck when it comes to this title. As it stands the only thing I can comment on "Bail the Bounty Hunter" is that is has a nice load screen. And a load screen this nice probably means a decent amount of effort went into the rest of the game as well, but I can't be sure about that unless I can get a copy of this game that actually functions.
