New logo - how do you like it?   It's a draft.  I'm going to have to have a proper version made at a later date.

When I originally made Polgannon as a TS2 neighbourhood, I had lots of ideas, many of which I was unable to implement in the sims game environment as I would have wished.  The essential part of Polgannon – the murder mystery – was there as was the setting and characters but some other features were not.  So, when I left England four years ago and stopped teaching two years ago, I decided to return to it.  I had ideas about making a new version trying to bring in the materials I originally wanted in order to round out the story and complete it to my satisfaction.  I also decided on a new format for it.  So the new version of Polgannon is not a Sims thing – not at all, it’s going to be a standalone story thing and, I hope, interactive – that’s the plan.
 
I have now completely rewritten the story.  The central mystery remains but the characters have been fleshed out considerably, the plot thickened, the setting developed and, I’m pleased to say, I’ve successfully incorporated (I think anyway) most of the things I wanted to include in the original plus added some new material.  The result is much closer to what I originally wanted to achieve.  I’m now at the stage of trying to put it into its final form which is another mountain to climb, not least because I am going to have to learn lots of new skills.  The idea is this is eventually going to be a commercial product though the finish line is still a long way off (and maybe I’ll never get there). 
 
Other projects
Even more exciting (for me), is the development of two new ideas coming out of my work on Polgannon.  One is the Fairplay Mysteries* and the other is a new project based on cold cases.
 
Fairplay Mysteries
The Fairplay Mysteries (its current name though that might change.  It’s already had two or three names) is my first mini project.  This idea developed as I was trying to work out how to make Polgannon’s mystery work: that is to say how to get the interactive story elements to work and allow the ‘reader’ to choose the path they take through the story.  It’s been a bit of a tricky problem but I think I have worked out mostly how to do it. 
 
The Fairplay Mysteries are more like short stories but are also puzzle challenges and I have already got the firm outlines for four of them with two of them more or less fully written.  The first few of these will be free to play as I use the project to work out in detail how I am going to get the story systems to work.  I think eventually I might use these to ask for support as I develop Polgannon which is a much bigger project and more time-consuming and, frankly, I’d like to have a little income to support me while I do it.  I guess I might use Patreon to do this though I don’t particularly like that site. 
 
Second Project
The second new project is less well developed as it is a much newer idea but I have fallen down an absolute rabbit hole recently reading and learning about real cold cases and forensic science.  I already have some ideas about things I might do with that.  In particular, I am finding the ingenious ways you can extract information in an almost academic way from actual data/evidence absolutely fascinating.  I think I might be regressing there to my academic past here but I think it would make for a really interesting format for presenting puzzles to readers.  I don’t have a name for this project yet though: Second Chance Mysteries?  Maybe?  (Suggestions welcome).
 
Upcoming
I really am at a crossroads with these projects.  I have done a lot of writing in the last two years and a lot of research (it’s been fun) but I am just now settling down to work out how it is I am going to present these stories in their final form.  They’re interactive which means they do not come solely in written form.  I’m actually using the Unity game engine to piece it all together.  It’s a challenge for me but I am hoping to get something on the chocks for release later this year.  This will likely be a pair of the Fairplay Mysteries followed by other stories either of the second chance mysteries or more Fairplay.  Polgannon will come at the end of the process and is likely quite a long way off. 
 
If I’m successful, there should be more to follow on (also, there’s been a second Polgannon-type story in my back pocket for some time now).
 
White Willow
Because I’d like to do this as a way of earning a little money for myself (instead of being just an indigent housefrau), I have created a sort of little company for myself.  This will comprise an online entity for me to operate through which is separate from my personal online presence.  The name of the new entity is White Willow.  Further down the line, there will be a website, Discord server and so on. 
 
I’ll post later once these get rolling so you can follow what I’m doing if you like.
 
If you are interested in play-testing the first Playfair Mysteries for me, you can get in touch with me via my email at:
whitewillowstudios@gmail.com
I will be needing some help testing the new systems and will be grateful to anyone who is willing to give me a bit of feedback.

(most hated man in Polgannon)

So Polgannon.  I’ve been doing a lot of work on it.  For those of you who have played the neighbourhood (and solved the crime! or tried to anyway), you might think it’s done and dusted and wonder why I’ve been working on it.

Well...

I’ve been thinking about this for ages and it has been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.  Late last year, I finally launched a new project with Polgannon and its follow-up story Market Bannaby, to convert it into a new format.  I have some very modest financial backing to get me started.  This is going to be a sort of interactive story. 

The work I have done on it has been in developing the end of the story which was (naturally) left open-ended in the Sims version since what I was providing there a neighbourhood to play from the murder of Blaise forward.  Your own version of Polgannon, if you would.  I’ve also done a lot of work on the characters to develop their tales, especially Ruan and Margaret who were deliberately left somewhat blank as characters in the Sims version.  And I have been working on the supernatural theme for the story (yes, there was one) which got somewhat lost in the Sims version because I couldn’t work out how to make it work in the Sims neighbourhood.  It’s the same story but a fuller, more thoroughly realised version of it.

I don’t want to say too much about it all at the moment as I’m not sure I can even do this.  But I’ve been having an awful lot of fun planning things and writing stuff.  The aim is to produce something commercial (though I’m hardly expecting it to make my fortune).  I have even set up a Patreon page for the project (NB I am NOT currently looking for Patreons but will post the link later if you’re interested.  I’m not sure I’m going to use Patreon anyway since it doesn’t allow for a zero cost basic level membership).  There’s probably going to be a dedicated website down the line too.  For the time-being though, information about Polgannon will be posted at tflc in this section and also on my Polgannon tumblr here.

There, I did it, I finally made The Annoucement]]>

Polgannon News 1 - December 2022
I have a couple of things to report about Polgannon and, to some extent, something to say about what I’m doing at the moment and will be doing in the future.  I’m going to put the update into two posts to break it all down a bit.  

Polgannon, Hall of Fame and the True Solution!  


  LanscumbeCourierFinal.jpg (Size: 193.54 KB / Downloads: 563)

Polgannon Stream
Earlier this year, Tea Addict – a much loved member of the simming community and Sims 2 streamer – played through Polgannon live on her Twitch stream channel (linky).  I attended most of the streams providing background encouragement and the occasional bit of help.  I really, really enjoyed it.  I’m not kidding.  For me, it was a lovely experience seeing people having fun with something I’d made.

TeaAddict and her cabal of watchers looked at the murder scene, deplored Blaise, collected information from all the residents of Polgannon, went through all the evidence and motives and discussed the many shady and dreadful characters – suspecting many along the way.  However, they worked very, very hard, TeaAddict did her homework(!), they sorted through the evidence and, collectively, they (streamer and watchers) came to a successful conclusion.  Hurrah!  The streams are a lot of fun: lots of laughing, tea drinking and pointing collective fingers at sus characters.  

So following on from that..

Hall Of Fame
Following on from that, the true solution to Polgannon has now been in the public domain for some time.  For this reason, I am now closing the Hall Of Fame with TeaAddict and her stream community members the last on the list of successful solvers. 

This is the final list of successful solvers of Polgannon's mystery (or the ones who contacted me with a proposed solution that was correct):  HERE,   Congrats to them.

This does not mean you cannot contact me, if you want to have a shot at the solution by yourself.  I will still respond with a breakdown of why you are wrong (or possibly right) but I will not now add your name to the list of glory.  Sorry.

The True Solution
Tea Addict has now uploaded all of the streams to her You Tube Channel and you can go and watch them if you’d like to.  If you really just want to know whodunnit, you may want to skip to the final broadcast in the series with the solution:



The point where they actually got to the solution is from about 1hr:20mins.  They’re searching for the murder weapon and find it!  They knew it was there somewhere because it’s in the CC collection for the neighbourhood!  This lead them, bearing in mind the evidence they had uncovered, to the correct conclusion about who it was who murdered Blaise Penhaligan on All Hallows Eve!

TeaAddict’s UTube Channel where you can watch the whole series (along with other things she’s done and is doing) is here.

And her Twitch channel is here.  She broadcasts 2-3 times per week.]]> HERE

PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS BELOW FOR DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION CAREFULLY - you don't have to read everything.  There's a lot of information here but the 2nd and 4th posts are important

LINKs to Files
Polgannon - the neighbourhood file LINK
Polgannon Downloads - all the downloads needed to run the neighbourhood LINK

Polgannon - the neighbourhood file with the extra families in residence.  I made some extra families for the empty lots (see other posts for description and how to download them separately).  They were not included in the original upload.  You can download this version of the neighbourhood folder with them in residence if you would like.  They have NO effect on the story. LINK

The files are also available at my Patreon


Before We Start
Please read the installation instructions carefully for this download. It is not simply a case of dumping everything in Downloads. See post 4.

Also please take note of the issues and warnings section so that you are aware of potential problems which can be easily avoided.

There's a lot more information about the sims and lots in later posts. Also, there's a list elsewhere in this forum of successful solvers.

Update 13 September 2015 - 2nd edition. Only the neighbourhood file is affected, custom content remains the same. Changes include: SimDNA files for some brown eyed sims corrected; LTW for Tamara corrected; Golf Club lot description added; James Penhaligan's name is now spelt correctly; some corrections to parts of the story including one story picture replaced; other minor adjustments.

Update 11th December 2015 - 3rd edition. Only the neighbourhood folder is affected, downloads remain the same. Fixes include: two statement pictures in Ruan's story updated to show correct information and appearance; reset the marriage status of all married couples to try and combat a problem reported by some players that couples had the 'propose marriage' option even when otherwise showing as married; some minor tinkering with physical evidence and a couple of furniture placement issues corrected.

Update 7th February 2022 - 4th edition.  I have had another go at the brown eye issue.  I am not sure what is causing this and the fix may not stick this time either.  It affects some of the brown eyed sims.  An extra gossip panel has been included for one of the family stories to help make the connection between Blaise's murder, the motive and the murderer clearer.  Several small corrections to spelling and some small additional details added here and there.  Removed extra stove in Ruan's kitchen.  I have also updated two of the files in the Downloads folder - the post box and telephone kiosk to make them visible in neighbourhood view.  Details over at the CC Fixin's section of this site HERE.


My policy for Polgannon
My normal policy is to allow people to share what I make freely (though no pay sites). However, Polgannon is an exception to this rule. It is a large and complex piece of work and it took me a long time to write it. As such, I would prefer not to see Polgannnon shared on any other website than this one and also I will not give permission to convert Polgannon to other uses such as making it into sub-hood or gender-swapped versions. I just don't feel that would be appropriate for what it is. Please respect my preferences here.

Polgannon Documents and Further Information
Attached here are some documents about Polgannon you might find useful and/or informative. They are
1. a word file called CrosscheckEvidence&Motives. This is a version of the word file I used to, well, cross-check everything. An empty version. I'm giving you basically the model of how I worked out the mystery - where the evidence is and what it tells you about the characters. There are some brief notes in the file as guidance on how to use it and I left in one example (Tamara Cardew) to show how it works. Tamara didn't kill Blaise (I give you that information for free)
2. the original Publisher version of the Lanscumbe Courier just in case you want to see it plus the jpg version. I had a pile of fun doing that
3. a hand-drawn map of Polgannon that you might find useful for guidance
4. zips of the pictures for Ruan's statements, Margaret's letters, Breoc's statement and the gossip pictures. These are the original pictures and are, therefore, a bigger size than the ones you can see in game (which are rather small and difficult to see clearly). I decided to post these as an optional download so that if you are really determined to solve the mystery you can have a good (and clearer) look at them
