Lately, life has been too busy for digital game making unfortunately. So I've fallen back to an old fascination: puzzles!

I've always enjoyed making medium-easy logic puzzles, stuff for people who are puzzle curious but think they will be bad at them.

I've got a pretty good beginner meta-puzzle I've been working on for a few days. Feels good to have a project again.

Game jam game is still going well! Took some time earlier to start replacing some of the placeholder assets with watercolor versions. Looking okay for two days' work!

Just a little something to shake the rust off. I haven't really performed for anyone in 3 or 4 years.

Personally I think my love of #magic is almost directly related to making games. When you make a game, hours of work goes into making just one moment of joy. It's the same in magic.

Also, both magic and games use subtle cues to guide attention, direct focus, and telegraph what to expect next. But magic uses these tools for misdirection to create an emotional response to anothers' performance, and #gameDesign uses those tools more directly in order to empower players to more or less create the same emotional response to their own performance.
