The mobile hit Empires and Puzzles (E&P) by Small Giant Games (acquired by Zynga) has made over $600M in net-revenues while racking up around 60 million installs. While there have been numerous clones and follow up titles trying to get a piece of the ever growing puzzle RPG pie, none of them has had any meaningful success.

As I’ve gone through the Final Fantasy series recently , it’s notable that the games used to have secrets, and now, they pretty much don’t anymore. This concept of “secret” doesn’t really make sense in a strategy game, contest, or a puzzle. This article actually has secrets, such as this text.

It takes lots of inspiration from Hay Day while introducing a whole new IP based on a cute fantasy world unrelated to any other Supercell franchise. Nevertheless, Everdale is not a placement puzzle like a typical city-building game. This week, Supercell soft-launched a new crafting tycoon game called Everdale. Nothing surprising there.

And it's all down to Gregg Barnett, frankly - he had the concept, and he handed it onto me to craft into a design. We actually had concept art for a monstrous version of Cogjammer based on the gremlin in the movie-version of the same story - but it was too scary. The big influence I added was - of all things!   Haunting 101.

To a diehard sports fan or competitive gamer, winning the fantasy sports league provides emotional value on top of the financial value of any prize money. A cold calculating trader would only care about the outcome, but human beings seem to love watching the outcome unfold - a puzzling topic for economists.

This fantasy-based game is set in Enroth, where magic rules. This puzzle game provides grids of small shapes of different colors. This first version of the game that revolutionized the concept of doing whatever you’d like within a video game set the bar. Solving puzzles is part of what makes this came intriguing.

Highly narrative, intricate puzzles, and immersive storytelling. So simulationism was born as a way to make fantasy worlds richer, more immersive… in a sense, to “make the ride better.” Not that I coined them, of course; the concepts were very much in the air. This, in fact, was what my signature design style was. So is FFXIV.

none of Dishonored's morality system and I think this is good, the "stealth puzzle = humane cage free assassination" philosophy has aged poorly imo 69% less stealth. The game says you must kill her first, like this, always -- and if she always dies so early, that means her concept doesn't get to interact with anyone else.

Violence is usually the first thing to prototype in an action game, but here it surprised me how much work it took to hack violence into an existing system that had no concept of it.
