Effective magic, at that!

.......why yes, that is in fact a scary emu.

_glances over at a bunch of penciled notes pretending to simulate a floor plan_ Yup, looks like game design to me!

What sorts of questions do you have?

Also, discord.gg/hmnTyGwr will get you into the main Escape Room Discord; lots of designers there too!

I have been summoned!

I indeed used to run my own room with my own self-designed puzzles/layout/story/etc. Did all the tech, too. It was a lot of fun and not profitable at all. :p (But it can be, if you have enough startup funds to do the business end right; I didn't, not really.)

....I admit when the feed loaded only the text was visible, and I 100% assumed it was going to be a picture of Keturah before I scrolled down.

Well, they say write what you know, so....

This game was designed to be a personal attack on me, you, and every other creative I have ever met. With, as it turns out, some success. :p

It's efficient! Introduce her to one and she'll never need to learn another!

Hey I know that game! I've heard it's pretty good, and also that the editor/layout person is really cool and writes really good games!

Out of all the things your mother has done in Stardew, this is the most relatable!

"partial success is better than not making the attempt"

A-freaking-greed. As hard as it can be to remember sometimes, partial success is still in fact forward motion.

Even given that I'm working remote today (something I don't do on Mondays), I've had to remind myself of this at least three times so far today.

It's a genuinely pretty unique gameplay experience; I've never seen anything else quite like it. (Which is part of why I like it as much as I do!)

Yup, I'm sure I'll come up with something!
