Puzzle of Me, a video game inside of a video game

A teenager who gets trapped in his bedroom overnight plays a video game which has the power to bring back his memories... until he accepts a difficult truth.

One year ago I created this account, not sure if Puzzle of Me would be the final name of the game.

What do you think of it? 🙃

I'd like to thank all of you who are here mainly because you listened to me pitch the game IRL and believed in it enough.

I've just found an interesting page while doing some researches about how the conductor of an orchestra can act during rehearsals.

One of #PuzzleOfMe characters is a severe and charismatic conductor of a prestigious orchestra for young talents.

Long time haven't posted!

I achieved something cool at the end of June: I sent the 1st funding document for my indie game @PuzzleOfMe.

Thanks @ElizabethMaler from @AbidingBridge, @StefRappeneau and @AurelienMahieu for their precious help.

Needless to say, it's an important step for @PuzzleOfMe to overcome.

I find creating an original puzzle gameplay very challenging.

Happily, I have the "mise en abyme"/"inception" concept as the core of the creative direction.

You know... a square in a square a in a square...

After much - but salutory 🤓- time spent on the story of Puzzle of Me, time has come to focus on the 1st playable prototype.

The goal of this prototype is to test the puzzle solving gameplay. 🧩

I'll share you the progress. 😉

Right now the focus is on the 1st playable prototype. 😉

@TheDodobro Prototyping the puzzle gameplay \o/

Cauliflower game / jeu du chou-fleur

I'm writing a scene in which the staging is based on a game that seems restricted to francophone playgrounds... but I doubt it really is.

Info below ⬇️

Thanks!

Pouvez-vous m'aiguiller s'il vous plaît ? Je cherche à savoir le jeu du chou-fleur est typiquement francophone.

English speakers, can you please tell me if you have ever played a playground game called "cauliflower"? I'm directly translating from french.

Puzzle of Me is made by a person in quarantine, trapped in his bedroom, which narrates the story of a teenage boy who gets trapped in his bedroom overnight and plays a video game which has the power to open the door of his bedroom...

I've told you it was all about mise en abyme!

@AkashicSeer @blackhole_games @198xgame Late response!

I've only played Fallout 3, but I've heard much good about New Vegas.

Talking about games in games, Shenmue is great at it.

Stalker is such an experience! What an atmosphere! 😱

[Puzzle of Me, a video game inside of a video game @PuzzleOfMe]

@198xgame is a cool #indiegame in which you embody a depressed teenage boy who loses himself in arcade games.

In Puzzle of Me it's more about bonding with the girl you love by playing arcade games. She'll react to how you play.

Be fair😇
... or tease her!😈

@Oasis_Raven Here's drama!

[Oasis Raven 🏜️ @Oasis_Raven]

For now, I'm quite surprised by how fast the narrative is paced in #HatofulBoyfriend: 3 in-game months in a 1h game session.

There are so much ellipses that I feel that the progression is not my own.

It's even more surprising when you've just played #Clannad.

[Oasis Raven 🏜️ @Oasis_Raven]

After #DreamDaddy & #Clannad, I'm currently benchmarking #HatofulBoyfriend for @PuzzleOfMe.

By the way, do you recommend me any #VisualNovel?

I'm interested in love stories, with a focus on drama more than comedy.

Dear followers,

Puzzle Of Me development has resumed 2 weeks ago, after a very salutary rest.

The following weeks will tough: intensive C# programming training, funding documents.

See you soon!

@TheDodobro @Oasis_Raven To make it short, I'm trapped into my bedroom and the only thing I can do is playing a puzzle game on my TV.

When I solve a puzzle it opens the door of my bedroom.

When I open the door I live back a memory.

When I open a door in a memory, I'm led back in my bedroom.

Help...😔

@Oasis_Raven Good to know someone is taking care about my cameras! 🥰

Followers,

This year is important to me. Why?

All begins with @PuzzleOfMe, a game I've started to work on during a burnout, 2 years ago. I'm okay now. It's like the will to reconnect to my inner creative inspirations was stronger. 🙂

[Oasis Raven 🏜️ @Oasis_Raven]

Abonné·e·s,

Cette année est importante pour moi. Pourquoi ?

Tout commence avec @PuzzleOfMe, un jeu dont j'ai débuté la conception pendant un burnout. Tout va bien, je vous rassure, j'ai su rebondir.

La volonté de renouer avec mes inspirations profondes l'a emporté.🙂
