Damon L. Wakes<p>I've been doing a lot more work on "Who Whacked Jimmy Piñata?" lately.

The Nation · Who Will Stop Elon Musk’s Coup?The world’s richest man now has the power to override congressional spending decisions and access to private information about every US taxpayer.

One of the things I'm hoping to do with my latest Bubble Gumshoe mystery is to expand Sugar City and unite the environments from the previous games. Who Whacked Jimmy Piñata? will feature the crime scenes from both Who Shot Gum E. Bear? and Who Iced Mayor McFreeze? Also, as with those previous instalments, you'll be able to taste and smell way more of the setting than is probably sensible.
