LOSSST

Hello World! Do you like puzzles? Try the beta of #LOSSST! >> xem.github.io/LOSSST << (works better on Chrome - PC or Android) Don't forget to leave a feedback! #gamedev #indiedev

@chrisvfritz Awesome ! While I'm holding you, you're also invited to try my other game jam success here (it's got portal and time travel mechanics) js13kgames.com/entries/super-… 😜

@LOSSST_game I had to choose level once to reset a level where I had more segments than I was supposed to, but otherwise just played through all 3 worlds normally. I'll definitely be checking out the full game!

Thinking about picking up a new puzzle game to de-stress and looking for suggestions. Games I've really loved: - The Witness - Braid - Portal (1 & 2) - Antichamber - The Swapper - The Talos Principle and ones I didn't: - Quern - Gorogoa - Limbo - Inside - World of Goo

@chrisvfritz Wow, thanks a lot ! Did you visit the three worlds through the "choose level" menu ? If you want to see more, this demo is a "hd remake" of a game I did last year for a game jam, and that game had other mechanics (3D puzzles, different music, eastereggs): js13kgames.com/entries/lossst

@LOSSST_game I just played through it all. 🙂 It was a lot of fun! I only got stuck once (due to a bug) and I can see a lot of potential in exploring new aspects of this one mechanic!

@DjackDDonovan Thanks for not forgetting me ! The development has been in pause for a couple months but it's restarting ;)

@LOSSST_game is an interested snake spatial puzzle game. haven't heard them in a while though, I hope they'll continue!

Game / Dev (non exhaustive) appreciation thread!

Subtle changes in progress on #LOSSST: now I'm only using public domain textures instead of random Google images, and make color adjustments myself 👨‍🎨 #gamedev

Puzzle count: 118! Here's the room 3-5, with (I hope) increasingly difficulty. ⚙️ I also added new musics in rooms 3-1 to 3-5! 🎻 (starting with Antonio Vivaldi's "Winter", of course) >>> Demo: xem.github.io/LOSSST <<< #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #WIP #LOSSST 🐍

Puzzle count: 107! (at the bottom right, I tested "wrap puzzle + wall". Not sure if I'll keep it) >> Demo: xem.github.io/LOSSST << (Also, I'm preparing the music for world 3. It'll be here soon!) #screenshotsaturday #LOSSST🐍 #gamedev

Puzzle count: 101 ! Here are the first rooms of world 3 >>> Demo: xem.github.io/LOSSST <<< As always, it's WIP, and quite easy for now but it'll become much harder in the next rooms 💪 #gamedev #LOSSST 🐍

The first (easy) "wrap" puzzles of the world 3 of #LOSSST🐍 Don't worry, they'll quickly become hella hard! (Snake transitions will be enhanced too) #wip #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Time to start the world 3 of #LOSSST 🐍... With a new ambiance and a new kind of puzzles (the "wrap" puzzles) ! (WIP! textures are still temporary, that's why you can see a stock photo mark on the snow 😜) #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

🤔

oops!

Everything's in the little details... In the desert world, the snake and the puzzles now sink a little into the sand. (art is not finalized yet) #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #LOSSST 🐍

The first 92 puzzles of the game... >> Demo: xem.github.io/LOSSST << (for Chrome, PC or mobile, WIP) #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #LOSSST 🐍

Puzzle count: 92! The world 2 is more or less complete, unless I find new puzzle ideas with those teleporters... stay tuned! >> Demo: xem.github.io/LOSSST << #gamedev #LOSSST 🐍

TIL Chrome can now transition between two background-images by doing a cross-fade 😮 I'm totally keeping that in the game! (you can try it in the boss level) #LOSSST🐍 #CSS #gamedev

Status: - This summer: the free demo for PC & mobile will feature 3 worlds + about 120 puzzles. - Later this year: the full game (less than $5) will have 4 or 5 worlds + at least 300 puzzles, hints, bosses and a puzzle editor. - TODO: hire a texture artist, polishing, decoration.

Puzzle count: 87 >>> Demo: xem.github.io/LOSSST <<< Let's start room 2-8! (Also, organizing the ideas about the world 3 and about the free demo on Play Store and Steam...) #gamedev #indiedev #LOSSST🐍

@zaffre_sheep @IndieGameDevGuy Well, currently there aren't textures, the horizontal and vertical parts of the puzzle are made of white/black/pink/tan squares. How do you imagine a different texture could look like?

@LOSSST_game @IndieGameDevGuy Would different textures be an option? One for the ground, one for the ground?

Puzzles with wall + ground are kinda hard to decypher... Does one of these alternatives look better? #gamedev #LOSSST🐍 (hey this one is not trivial to solve btw 🤔)

Still adding new puzzles (in rooms 2-6 and 2-7). Hey testers, are they becoming hard enough? I'm still afraid to make things too easy or repetitive... >>> Demo: xem.github.io/LOSSST <<< #gamedev #indiedev #LOSSST🐍
