My newest project is called Mars First Logistics and it’s about delivering lots of awkwardly shaped cargo across a rugged open world using your own mechanical creations!
I’ve been enjoying the process of making this game. Instead of designing individual levels or puzzles, I’m making a set of toys and seeing what they’re like to play with in the game world, finding and exploring interesting interactions, with just enough direction so the player doesn’t feel lost.
The game’s graphics are inspired by Lego instruction manuals. The simple black outlines and flat primary colours have a simultaneously playful and utilitarian vibe that I think suits the game. If it looks appealing, give it a wishlist :)
Fix for crash when windows path has non-ASCII characters
I fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when the path to the save file had non-ASCII characters in it. Sorry about that!
Big update with 48 new puzzles.
I've just updated Dissembler with 48 new hand-made puzzles featuring 2 new tile types to wrap your head around.
The first tile type is a diagonally split tile that allows tiles of different colors to be combined into one matched group. It also allows for more interesting puzzle compositions and I had fun making some pictogram puzzles, for example a puzzle that looks like a cup of coffee, or a fish.
The second type of tile is a "linked" tile. If two tiles are linked then moving one causes the other to move as well. This creates some complex cause-and-effect chains resulting in some tricky puzzles.
I hope you enjoy the update!
