Working on a puzzle game.

With the release of Hidden Paws behind us, and after the period of hectic post-launch support and bug fixing has passed, I’ve decided to work on something smaller before diving back into bigger projects.

I’m making a fairly simple puzzle game called Sandmade in which you will have to imagine which of the 3D shapes fit together. Sounds simple enough, right? It is.. until they get bigger. A block 3x3x3 is fairly easy to wrap your head around, but bigger than that quickly gets tricky.

 Still a fair bit of work ahead of me as I tighten the mechanics, graphics, and puzzles. The plan is to release it on Steam in the middle of May, so I forsee some long days ahead 😉

The Steam page just got approved and is now public:

And now back to coding.

Hidden Paws released :)

Hidden Paws released on Steam! Yay! My first released game 🙂

My sister and I started working on this game during Christmas when we were both home for a week. Usually when we’re there we play video games and stuff ourselves with food. This time we wanted to be a bit more productive so we decided to make a game. It was supposed to be a simple 48-hour project with one pretty low poly island with cats hidden in it. We actually managed to do quite a lot during those two days, established the art style and core mechanics, but the project just kept growing, we had too many ideas to stop after such a short time. We kept improving the game and so 48 hours turned into over 3 months of work.

 There are now over 12 beautiful winter islands instead of the intended one. Each has a lot of places where cats could be hiding. You can open windows, boxes, car trunks and so on. 

It’s an incredible experience to make and release a game, you should try it! 😉
