Hello! I’m Joelle, one of the members of The Fellas. Games have always been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, especially narrative-driven games. Being able to study a course to pursue a career out of making games has been a dream come true. Creating a narrative-driven game has granted me the opportunity to create original characters and weave together a cohesive story about their lives. My other areas of interest are programming and music, which were two of my main roles when developing ‘The Hawkshaw Files’. Music is an effective way of conveying emotions and adding to the overall narrative experience of a game, so being able to work on the sound design of ‘The Hawkshaw Files’ has been a great opportunity to hone my composing skills and experiment with different music techniques.
‘The Hawkshaw Files’ is a point-and-click, narrative-focused visual novel with puzzle elements that follows the story of Detective Hawkshaw, a once renowned member of the Pinkerton Police Department turned private eye. Now his own boss, follow Detective Hawkshaw as he works on a case-by-case basis to solve puzzles, investigate the area, and interrogate relevant parties to uncover the secrets of the small-town Pinkerton in this point and-click puzzle adventure!
