An illustration from Mandrake. A ruined red brick archway in a lush green open space, with a river, brick bridge, simple wooden fence and dirt path.

We're making Mandrake, a rural life sim set in a beguiling new world inspired by British history and folklore.

Now we're not in the Fallen London universe (Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies), we had the opportunity to add sunshine! And trees! 😮 🧵

I wrote an Intro to Puzzle Design article🧩

This covers the usual points I discuss with people who are working on their first puzzle game. Given how some concepts can be quite abstract, I think a written piece allows everyone to digest it at their own pace.
