Puzzle design


Im playing some other indie puzzle games to get inspiration on good puzzle design and how to focus/narrow down a solid core game mechanic.

This is why I always loved trying to develop puzzle games, because its one of the biggest challenges there to actually come up with good, deep, interesting and versatile puzzles.

We’ll se how the next iteration goes, but what we wish is to soon leave the very long “beta” period we really somehow did have.

Good news though, we have three new internal playtesters that will do QA before every demo release! There might not be many more demos until the fullvesion release in the end of 2020.

By the way if you ever read “I” instead of “we” on our posts, don’t be confused, that’s just our CEO and community manager, Robin, writing from his perspective!

Have you seen the very first prototype?

This huge project started in the end of 2019, as a small prototype that was playtested on a series of events!

An upcoming video will showcase and tell more about the journey from prototype to full game

NEW PROJECT! TODAY we started prototyping on a new project. We have been writing somewhat on a concept for some time, as we felt like moving to a new project some time before revealing that we canceled Binary Sparks. This time we will test much more!

New Save System Explained

We wanted to make a post to clearly explain how the new save system works in Patch 1, since it differs from release version and the demo, and we have had a few questions about it. Read more below:

One More Experiment - LIVESTREAM My friend and design collaborator Victor will be streaming the full game. Feel free to join! Starting 9th March - 06.00 PMM CET on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/strackdracksdw See you guys there!

We feel that #BinarySparks lost its direction over the past years and that we now need to try something else. Therefore we're moving on to a brand new project. It will be another puzzle game, most likely with elements included somehow!

What will happen to Binary Sparks 2019?

ONE MORE EXPERIMENT IS OUT ON GJ & STEAM! After five years of hard work, Im very happy with the result! A big shoutout to all collaborators, freelancers, contractors, playtesters & friends who have helped out! :D STEAM PAGE: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3508790/One_More_Experiment/?…
