Sandmade is out on Steam :)

My second game, Sandmade, is now available on Steam 😀 It’s a beautiful puzzle game that will test your brain power. Go check it out if you think you can visualize 3d shapes and figure out if they fit together. Or if you can’t but want to learn. That works too 😀

  The last few days have been a crazy ride but we’re finally there 🙂  Now I’ll catch a breath and get ready for a round of post-launch support 😉 

Sandmade got a new trailer

Progress

I changed the layout of the puzzles in Sandmade. You now have to match the blocks from the top row to the ones from the bottom one, and there can now be up to 5 pairs on screen at a time.

I like how it’s possible to train the brain to see these pairs quickly. It used to be much more difficult to me, but after so much time working on the game and playtesting, I’m seeing a lot of improvement in that area.

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.
