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!

Thanks alot!

We applied to Swedish Game Awards!! Wish us good luck! Things are still moving a bit slow, we're still working for "free", and are trying to do more business related stuff! But the game is still in development, dont worry :)

LEVEL PROTOTYPE RESOURCES Just bought some blocks and pawns for level design prototyping

We've just applied to gamehabitat Haven, a game studio startup program 😇 Wish us good luck and for us to be accepted! Were still a free time studio/project. But looking to change this soon with further development/release of One More Experiment.

Hello! Once again sorry for the lack of updates. Life has been throwing stuff at me recently, and we're still trying to do more on the business side. Right now we're looking for different funding options. We just applied to Draknek Puzzle Grant! /Robin
