This started as Google translations, with native Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Chinese speakers already confirming/modifying the sentences. Is there anyone who speaks: Arabic, German, French, Hindu, Korean, Portuguese and Russian to check the others too?

Note that this is the only written text in the whole puzzle book (well, apart from the title / ISBN / credits, which have only names) :) I wanted to keep it as wordless as possible
out of all puzzle systems I came up with, plac's system is proving itself time and time again to be the most expressive and humourous. this puzzle seems ridiculous, but every part of it is there for a reason.
I’ve occasionally talked about puzzle books on the podcast and videos (most notably LOK by @letibus.bsky.social), so if you’re interested in rule discovery puzzles like that, a game jam just ended that’s dedicated to rule discovery paper puzzles! There are almost 100 entries!

Now that LOK's 3rd edition has been out for more than 3 months, how did those of you who checked it out feel about the new 3rd "Terraformers" expansion? Do you feel that it fit into the full structure, was up to standard? (I'm still secretly thinking about making a DLC book of expansions 🤔)
A reminder that all of our games are currently on sale on Nintendo Switch!

New YT video! Tried to pour everything I've learned from my years of Celeste modding into this one. I think it has a lot of great information that I never see discussed!
LMK what you think!

As Order of the Sinking Star is coming out next month, in advance of review coverage coming in I wanted to add one thing to my last statement about the game: bsky.app/profile/drak...
(note: at that time I didn’t have a separate personal account)
So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.
I guess this isn't the sentiment that most of the puzzle book creators share with me, but I'm always very much looking forward to creating and sorting out the solutions sections in my books haha. currently angry with myself that I haven't locked in the Plac's puzzle sequence yet cause I can't SORT
LOK guides you smoothly along its puzzle ideas and keeps you engaged by introducing new mechanics with every chapter. This dynamic of slowly ramping up the complexity is challenging but never frustrating.
@letibus.bsky.social offers the PDF for free! (Tip this man, if you can!)
