Did you know “20 More, Somehow Even Smaller, Mazes” is 100% off in the Steam sale?

Poem about feeling like a circle, inspired by a maze puzzle game (that I recommend, it's free and a nice brain tickler!), for today's ODSD: exalclaw.com/odsd-20-smal...

Okay, it's out! store.steampowered.com/app/4428890/...

This Saturday and Sunday, I will be at Future Fest Connect in Durham, showcasing the (nearly complete) "20 More, Somehow Even Smaller, Mazes". Thanks to the Triangle Interactive Arts Collective and Oak City Indie Games!

Robin sent me an early copy of "The Incident At Galley House". It's a fantastic deduction game, which gets better the deeper you go. It hooked me hard, and ended up delaying my work a few days whoops I recommend! store.steampowered.com/app/3641000/...

"Strange Jigsaws" is now available for Mac!

If you haven’t given this a try, it’s really interesting.

Sometimes you have to cut things you love, because they just don't work. This one would have required a lot of cleanup, but the idea was to make a restaurant kids menu that you would draw on. It was difficult to differentiate between drawing on the maze and dragging it around, so I had to cut it.

In this one, you could exit in any cardinal direction, but the goal was always to exit "east". There were 6 minipuzzles as a part of it. I wanted to make something like a "Lost Woods" maze from Zelda, but I ended up cutting this because it relied too much on outside knowledge for my comfort.

When I make games, I end up making a lot more content than I end up using. So I thought I would post a few puzzles that didn't make it into "20 More, Somehow Even Smaller, Mazes". This one didn't make the cut, because I wasn't feeling it. You drag the rules into the slots.

Finally, a Real Maze

Here's a clueless Masyu. Every "?" is a black or white circle, but you need to figure out which one is which. You can solve it online here: gmpuzzles.com/penpa-edit/#...

I teach math part time, and just finished entering the final tests. I’m free! One of my students gave me this cool keychain of the “Touch Grass” puzzle (the solution is on the other side)

Happy Father’s Day! Kids are great. I have 5 kids.

In summary: 20 More, Somehow Even Smaller, Mazes - Summer 2026 Some Puzzles - Early 2027 Lock In - Late 2027

Lots of news today, but first... "Strange Jigsaws" is now part of a bundle of short puzzle games, along with "Ooo", "Linelith", "The Electrifying Incident", and "Is This Seat Taken?" This is amazing company to be in! store.steampowered.com/bundle/76054...

This looks really neat. A new game by the designer behind "System Syzygy"! If you haven't played "System Syzygy", it's a free game, and a spiritual sequel to "System's Twilight" by Andrew Plotkin, which is a spiritual sequel to "The Fool's Errand" by Cliff Johnson. It's old school and great.
