Overall Progress

The next update will be the yellow path. Here is where we roughly think we are right now:

Act 3 will be a major act, but not as big as act 2. Act 4 is kinda short and mostly the victory lap, so it's not such a big deal to make. Our processes should speed up more and more, I hope, because the code fundamentals are more advanced now. Let's see how that goes!

Supraworld compared

There is a lot to come, but Supraworld is now by far the biggest Supra game already.

How puzzles are made

I have no idea if there is a target audience for this but I overhauled my concept for how our puzzles are designed. I wrote it down here and there is an example from Supraworld underneath where it all gets applied.

See you soon with the yellow path. Please be patient with us. Rushing us is not helpful, but we're delighted there are so many people waiting for new content!

As usual, any like on this post reduces the wait time by 1 minute. It's something!
