@@kuriosastoryteller And thank you for the kind words!

Thank you!! In my previous video I talk about how we create art assets for the game, if you’d like to see some more of it:) kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKPPkGqCdt5kgNUsi=6NkbSceTsWtSA3_3

@@leonasceramics Thank you very much!

That is one theory. There are also ones that say they were memorial stones, or that they were meant to show the separation of territories. All fascinating stuff!

Thank you for asking! Not at the moment, the best support right now would be to engage with videos and instagram posts. And once the game is out, the best support will be to buy it:)

Haha, hopefully the game can give you the opposite feeling of being smart. I think it ended up looking complicated in the video because I'm showing mostly the last stage in the puzzle. But in the game the concepts are introduced more delicately through simpler puzzles

Thank you so much for this comment and for that fact about the Nancy Drew game! I love learning about other games that incorporate real-life things into puzzles

Thank you very much for spotting this! I indeed made a mistake in that slide. *Step 4* should be the reverse of the replacements in the *first step* not of the 3rd one. That's where we get "IIII->IV". For a case like I+III it will get converted to IV during that last step, and in case of III+II it gets converted to V in step 3. And if we add V + IV, IV gets converted too IIII and then VIIII gets converted to IX in that last step.

That is not what the algorithm does. Firstly, the units are 1s, 5s, 10s, 50s, and 100s. Roman numerals are not quite base so there's more to it then that. And, even though I is 1 and X is 10, IX is 9 instead of 11 so just adding things up as is doesn't work, so the first step is converting it to a form where you really can just add up all the individual letters to get the sum. "write out its sum" also isn't an algorithm, so the key is how to do that. Steps 2 and 3 are about doing everything in the right order, the equivalent of carrying the 1 when adding numbers in base 10 if 2 digits add up to 10 or more. Step 4 in the video is wrong, but is supposed to be about bringing back IV, IX, XL, XC which were removed in the first step. It's not the most complicated algorithm, but it's also more sophisticated than you give credit. Converting everything to just ones isn't necessarily easier, because you still need an algorithm to count up one by one in Roman numerals. Plus it's a way slower algorithm.

Replacing everything with "I"s and then back would also work, but it would increase the length of each step. In the game right now it's not a possibility because there is a limit to both the amount of steps and the number of elements in each step.

Thank you so much! Completely agree with you! Playtesting is such an integral part of my game development process. The puzzles end up changing so much based on what players find easy or difficult or where they get stomped.

Yea this is too diabolical for me to solve lol. But I’m fascinated by the process!

Thank you for this great idea! Added the link to the description: docs.google.com/document/d/1A2il95jnFbAtmz05_PLvFoVxmV4KaI2n2Shu3Oz4GtE/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you! My goal was to take an initially intimidating puzzle and through some changes and addition of introductory puzzles make it friendly to players with different puzzle solving skills

Also, what a beautiful handwriting

Thank you for the kind words! Good luck with your game!

Thank you for these great comparisons, and for mentioning the details in the environments! We put a lot of thought into them, and I'm happy to see that noticed!
