I've spent a few days smoothing out the player flow in the first #CRT7 puzzle(s), and I'm really happy with how it's all feeling now!
(It was an absolute *nightmare* getting any form of undo working, so of course I decided to use it to hint that things are a bit... wrong here.)
Hi Mastodon! I've been quite quiet around here because it turns out that launching a new undergrad degree programme is... a lot of work?
I *have* been working away at #CRT7, however and I've just about finished a new, unique paper puzzle section! You can even cross out/discount cells now!
Been working on a little Solver for the new* puzzle design I'm adding to CRT7 that I'm internally calling 'Slithercross'.
It's a touch slow** sometimes, but the solver knows all the rules and can help me test for unintended solutions!
After being knocked out by a couple respiratory infections, I'm back on my particular brand of nonsense: over engineering a series of puzzles inspired by classic paper puzzles!
Audio on, dev diary below 💚
This month's #CRT7 Dev Update is live. Where I talk about design complications, a new puzzle in green phosphors, and yet again mention the impossible door.
Enjoy! This month has been great for progress, so I'm chuffed to share it: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2096780/view/4228398800912866457?l=english
As the @PuzzleShowcase is coming to a close I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who wishlisted #CRT7 during the event!
It's been an exhausting couple of weeks but getting 1200+ new wishlists is so motivational!
Keep an eye out, I'll be getting back to it soon 🧡
A cheeky weekend reminder that if you've not tried CRT7 yet and you want to decypher strange computers, unravel modified tape players, and unlock impossible doors, escape room style, there is a new, improved demo out!

The new #CRT7 demo is live! Decypher strange computers, unravel modified tape players, and unlock impossible doors. Point & click your way around a huge variety of puzzles in a mysterious basement!
Shares and wishlists appreciated to get to the next milestone 🧡
"How hard can it be?" I ask myself before I realise I have to find the location in the world, then transfer that to a different camera perspective, and then test if it exists within some bounds within another cam that moves oh and also one is perspective and the one orthographic.
Still! I think it's mostly working now so I can show a new #CRT7 feature off later! Some tidying up to do, for sure, but it's time for a brain break as the vector maths made me hurt.
