i lost all my posts again so it's time to start from scratch with a thread of STUFF I MADE THAT I LIKE
there is always more at https://eev.ee/ or the painfully full list at https://c.eev.ee/
first is FOX FLUX DELUXE, my puzzle-platformer that i love and am taking forever to finish, about being a fox and turning into things a lot. it looks like this. there's a demo at https://eevee.itch.io/fox-flux-deluxe (and patrons get more recent builds)
LEXY'S LABYRINTH β a free in-browser chip's challenge (1+2) emulator. entirely bespoke assets and a buttload of community levels. you can also play the original levels if you have them on hand. and there's a level editor built in. and undo! and it even sort of works on a phone!
STAR ANISE CHRONICLES 1Β½: OH NO WHERES TWIG?? β play as my cat's fursona and explore the moon to find your best friend Twig. a featured pico8 game! fairly short, playable in a browser.
VIGNETTES β a series of adult stories about hard feelings and weird sex. currently there's only one, but we have ideas and drafts of a bunch more, and i think that one is pretty good. requires computer, $10 for now
(nothing explicit in the screenshot but there's some tiny boob-touching in the background)
CHERRY KISSES β little jam game we finished up later, about running a sex shop and interacting with the folks who come by. often by having sex with them. there's a big narrative puzzle i'm pretty happy with about how to satisfy everyone simultaneously, but you can ignore it entirely if you want. the only thing i've ever released on steam! linux and windows, mac with some light effort, $6.90

(screenshot has some tiny pixel-art sex toys)
3 β a variant sudoku i constructed that ended up on cracking the cryptic, which is pretty cool

also, ROUNDABOUT β a truly ridiculous crossword, for people who enjoy truly ridiculous crosswords

i haven't made a ton of paper puzzles, and a few are very much learning experiences imo, but they're all here: https://c.eev.ee/puzzles/
STAR ANISE CHRONICLES 1: TRAPPED IN THE CHAMBER OF DESPAIR β an illustrated interactive fiction (inform7) game about escaping from a truly confounding labyrinth. see if you can get all 100 points! if you can't, don't worry, i don't remember how to do it either.
some familiarity with parser games definitely helps, but i did *try* to be approachable for newcomers. try. i tried
i think that's all that stands out? hmm. i should probably make some more things that i like
well ok i guess i also have some art i like but that feels like a different sort of Thing than an interactive whatsit
anyway enjoy thanks
@fundamental i wouldn't say they were heavy on research, but there was definitely a lot of fucking around
the sudoku is easier for the "reasonably solvable but still hard" bit, i think, since there's generally only a single place to *start*, and i get to decide what that is. the tricky bit is rigging it so the rest of the puzzle is also solvable without needing too many extraneous awkward clues, and some of that was just trial and error
@fundamental crosswords are harder since a solver might start basically anywhere, and you have to be able to fill a grid with words, which is actually very difficult
but i think both require the player to outright do more *stuff* than most video game puzzles too
@eevee just solved it; took me an hour and a half which is kinda par for me on these kinds of hard puzzles. I liked the logic in the middle column near the opening (and all the logic about where the ones could fit honestly), as well as the "these 6 cells add up to 14" that happened on the left.
Great puzzle!
