ok so i've been playing more & more "puzzlebox" games recently and i'm slowly whittling down my thoughts on Puzzles, what i like & what i don't like...
"spatial" and "rules" puzzles are my favorites, i think "riddles" are pretty fun but can be frustrating, and i think "room puzzles" are just okay

i think a lot of people who don't like chess would enjoy it with a timer... it fixes a lot about the game

i wish modern fighting games were less explicitly designed... my experience with strive/sf6/gbvsr is there's one way they want you to play each character that's enforced by a small, specific toolkit. playing MBAACC or +R feels like ordering from one of those chinese restaurants with a massive menu

a fun movement spice i like to sprinkle on my platformers is to make the velocity cap on the x axis slightly higher in the air... it incentivizes jumping all the time, which adds a fun challenge of traversing the landscape optimally by subdividing it into the fewest number of jumps

I still havent gotten that many requests. I would appreciate if people could share it. I am not sure when I will receive my money since that place apparently goes through stuff chronologically… 🥲
I am a bit in a rut. I usually get funding by the gov to live, but they aren’t replying since months. Means I am slowly without money. If anyone is interested, my commissions are open. All my infos and forms are here: sucaciic-info.carrd.co
Please feel free to share too.
