I am expanding my Ludum Dare 60 adventure and spent the weekend working on puzzle flow. On top is the "puzzle" as it appeared in my jam game, below is the redacted Puzzle Dependency Chart (cf. @grumpygamer.com) of the planned game. #adventure #gamedev

Puzzle dependency charts are so handy when a jam game grows up. Did mapping it out turn up any puzzles that were secretly doing nothing?

I had to cut so much to finish the jam, that I had planned for many more puzzles than... one. 😅 I kept adding and pruning the current chart for hours, trying to connect different puzzles and clues, so perhaps I got the opposite problem; puzzles trying to do too much. Testing will show 🤞
