For years I was puzzled by people not answering emails right away. This is me now.

I now have basic gameplay working. Players need to go fetch a key, then open a chest. Quite simple but I've now some understanding about Roblox's editor, assets, scripting, multiplayer, UI, ... Next step is finding how players will interact with each others.

Oh oh, it's going to be a WILD ride! Roblox Studio have a super easy to use marketplace for assets. Most are free to use in your game. I added one that come with a script doing some basic gameplay logic. ... There's a hidden piece of code teleporting my players to another game!

Worth your time... Movies - Uncut gems - Waves - The Lodge - Palm Springs - You’re next - Little Women - Love and Monsters TV - Ozark S3 - Dispatch from Elsewhere - Raised by Wolves - Perry Mason - Devs - Tales from the Loop That's it for 2020! 2019 -> xitter.cf/MathieuFrogames/status…

... and of course this bring me back right into The Secret Of Psalm 46. Moriarty story about games, Easter Eggs, Bach, Shakespeare, and an old lady with a broken radio. youtu.be/u0OY1RDe8Yg

Here's 3 shows that I discovered and binge watched during lockdown. I'm still sane, thanks to them. - The Taskmaster (A masterclass in game design, all seasons are available on YT, S10 is a nice intro youtube.com/channel/UCT5C7ya…) - It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - The Americans

Next, 4 of my favourites TV Shows for 2020. - Too Old to Die Young (Nicolas Winding Refn) - The Third Day (Dennis Kelly creator of Utopia) - The Plot Against America (David Simon) - Monsieur Flap (Watch on YT youtube.com/watch?v=GHR21HB4…)

- Vivarium - Dave made a maze - The Vast of Night - Save yourselves! - The Room (2019) - Cam (2018) - Sorry to bother you

2020 was exhausting for everybody, here's some of the distractions that kept me going during the year. Let's start with some "cinéma de genre"... (1/x) - Midsommar - The Lighthouse - Color out of space - Possessor

Après 200h de travail (sur la partie technique uniquement) j'ai enfin un site d'agence dont j'ai pas à rougir. Ouf, il était temps. Je sais que les scores ne font pas tout mais ça fait malgré tout plaisir d'en arriver là :

Is there any games that are not Puzzles? Probably, but are you sure they’re not just slot machines?

Is Mario a Puzzle? Figuring out the rules of the world is the Puzzle. Completing the game is you proving to the game that you mastered all the rules offered by it.

Is Starcraft a Puzzle? Well I can argue it’s a « Live Puzzle » where pieces are being moved constantly by you and other players. Missing information is part of the Puzzle.
