When we're designing puzzles, we start with being silly in the office! Then we make an animatic explaining the idea to our designers. (Awesome work by @emmagracereynolds.bsky.social!)

What are some of your recent favorite game puzzles?

The silhouettes of four characters, each inspired by a suite from a deck of cards, against a blue, sci-fi background of towering buildings.

And of course I wouldn’t end a thread on design without asking @joewillsart to tease the heck out of you all. Thanks for entertaining some of my thoughts on good character design for games! (7/7)

A rag tag bunch of misfits [specifically some former Xbox and Valve game devs] and I are working on an Afro-Futurist 1-4 player co-op story/puzzle/shooter game. Nya, a space salvager, is our main protagonist. Super fun story, extremely fleshed out universe. Can't wait to let you all play it!
