Puzzle design on Thekla's game Order of the Sinking Star
@cwpat.meI just played Cut Up by Dee <3 from the recent Rule-Discovery Jam and had a lot of giggles, it's concise and elegantly constructed! Def recommend if you like paper rule discovery puzzles!
@carolmertz.itch.ioReposted by @cwpat.meReminder that applications to the Experimental Games Showcase at GDC are still open until October 23! If you're working on something interesting, submit it! We want to see games that surprise, delight, and inspire. fr, one of my rubrics for curation is: "Makes me go 'woooooah' when I look at it."
@cwpat.meOrder of the Sinking Star is OUT NOW on Steam, Switch 2, PS5! I'm proud of the puzzle design and refinement work I've contributed over the past 3 years! So many talented and hardworking people have worked on this game for so long. And it's surreal it's finally out!! I think it's a special game. <3
@increpare.bsky.socialReposted by @cwpat.meLet's set up an official PuzzleScript discord (and retire the old google groups group)! For all things PuzzleScript! discord.gg/jKzwzF7fCh
@anthonyetherin.bsky.socialReposted by @cwpat.meCITY SCAFFOLD: A sonnet of no fixed rhyme scheme, composed in iambic trimeter. Each line has exactly 14 letters. The poem's Ts are arranged such that they form a symmetrical, X-shaped scaffold.
@alanhazelden.bsky.socialReposted by @cwpat.meI've been looking forward to this for a while - a new tool for making grid-based puzzle games! I haven't used it yet but the design goal seems like it might be "what if PuzzleScript was both more powerful and more approachable", which is very exciting to me.
@cwpat.meOrder of the Sinking Star comes out in 4 days on Oct 8! Hard for me to believe all our work will finally be out there in just a few days! I'm anxious and excited! The team has been very hard at work wrapping things up!

@alanhazelden.bsky.socialReposted by @cwpat.meI intend to use my profits from the game to fund and uplift marginalised and underrepresented creators. I’ve already begun that effort with the Draknek New Voices Puzzle Grant: grants.draknek.org (which is currently open for applications).
@cwpat.meExcellent! I'm jealous
