I'd starting working on a co-op #wordgame in the year of the void (2020). It was a mashup of #scrabble & #tetris and though the idea seemed like it'd be fun, the gameplay felt too slow or too fast. On top of that, the logic I implemented for checking strings for valid words 1/5

was expensive and prevented players from easily making the words they wanted to make. For example, the only way to make the word RATES would be to place RA_ES and then hope you get the T by the time you needed it. 2/5

So the #unity project sat in its folder for a few months, until last week, when I had a couple of ideas for it. I was supposed to have ideas for #sandsofchaos, but of course that didn't happen. Need idea for A? Here are three ideas for B. Thanks Brain! 3/5

I think this new version of the game might be more fun to play. There’s going to be a timed mode, 3 to 5 minute sessions, and a timeless mode where you can go on for as long as you want. 4/5

If anyone is interested in trying out a word game on #pc #mobile, let me know! #madewithunity #indiegamedev #gamedesign #prototypes 5/5
