How to Make Labyrinth Puzzles
21Game design is a wonderful thing to practice! I'd love to share one of the puzzle formats I've been practicing with for a number of years now: labyrinth puzzles.
_________________________________________
This is a series of videos I've been wanting to make for a while now. Showcasing how accessible it can be to get into game and puzzle design with nothing but some pen and paper.
I'm working on another video about making LOK puzzles where I got to interview designer Blaž Urban Gracar. And after that I'll breakdown a level I made for Monument Valley 3. So hopefully you can look out for those videos soon!
