Optimism Sprint 4

The puzzle work continues. This week, finally, the first level’s puzzle. As I mentioned last week, I decided to create this puzzle in 2D. Players will move the pieces of the machine with the mouse ad slot them into their proper positions in order to progress. Once a piece is dragged over its proper position, it will snap into place and stay there. Since the machine will be of a fantastical design wherein the player will probably not fully understand how it is supposed to be assembled, this is the best way. There will be other versions of the puzzle that already have the previous pieces assembled for the addition of new pieces acquired at the end of the main levels.

Up to this point the puzzle demos I’ve been describing have been just that: demos. Next week we aim to have versions of the first and third puzzles with polished assets, being demonstrative of the final designs. This will be sprites for the machine puzzle and models for the rock house puzzle. See you then!
