Hello, Murder!
The best way to hit the ground running is to start with Hello Murder.
Hello Murder provides game developers an excellent starting point for building out a full game in Murder. In addition to the Murder engine, Hello Murder includes the following:
- Player component
- A basic Player prefab
- “Hello World” level
- “Main Menu” level
- An empty Player Input system
When Hello Murder is launched, there will be a main menu. Selecting “New Game” opens the “Hello World” level. All the pieces of a basic game are there, but there isn’t anything to do yet.
Let’s go!
This quick start will demonstrate how to add controls so that players can move the player character around. Let’s begin!
Release 10.0 (Jan 31 2026)
At the time of this writing, Hello Murder is synced with a release of Murder dating back to February 2025, whereas the Murder repository’s main branch has received many more updates.
There is now an upgrade procedure for incorporating release 10.0 (January 31 2026) into Hello Murder.
- This procedure has been incorporated into the quick start.
- This procedure may also be useful to those upgrading existing projects.
