I've always wanted to make a puzzle game video essay parody, yes this conversation topic is years old but I didn't have a channel back then to make fun of it, but now that a different puzzle game content creator is making a video essay, this seemed like the right time to meme (though it's not specifically directed at that video essay).
Oh also shallow game analysis and music theory are still popular to this day, so I mean, is it even really irrelevant
unavoidable inspiration from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mukhzo9OIL8, covers similar topic so similar jokes
The "baba is chinese" mod is by Leaving Leaves here (a puzzle player/designer who's made many great games I've shown on the channel) https://steamcommunity.com/app/736260/discussions/0/1649919326318290761/
Citationfootnote 1 - While it may seem intuitive that creating a puzzle is harder than solving it, there are several reasons why this isn't the case:
1 - Designer is playing in a level editor sandbox that is easier to work with to find interactions, the player has to perform annoying manual setup to test interactions
2 - Designer can fine-tune and tweak how mechanics work
3 - Designer can turn a clever interaction into a puzzle straightforwardly by restriction. A puzzle can have many clever interactions inside it but not all of them are required to solve the puzzle. Also many times a player can find an interaction or cheese that the 'designer' didn't.
