Wishlisted and followed. One of the best puzzle/logic games I've seen lately is The Case of the Golden Idol. I tried the demo and I couldn't stop until I completed it,

Thanks a lot!
I've heard good things about The Case of the Golden Idol, definitely one I'm going to check out. I'm also a sucker for good puzzle games. If I have to pull out a piece of paper and start figuring things out it's probably a game I'm going to love.

Your game looks really fun. I like both dogs and puzzles, so it was an easy decision to wishlist and follow!
I wish you good luck with the launch and everything. I've been wanting to make a game myself for a long time, but I'm too scared of everything except programming. Art and sound assets, music, steam release and distribution, possible legal issues or other unforeseen problems... Dealing with all that looks like too much hard work for too little gain. And that's not even counting the inevitable negative reviews. I'm glad there are brave people like you out there!

Thanks so much. Yeah for me as well, my normal day job is programming, albeit using more corporate / server type languages, so the hardest part of making a game for me has also been the creative stuff. The most creativity my job demands is occasional picking colours on a new module or a spreadsheet. Of course I made the 'smart' decision of making everything myself so it's been a learning experience of doing a lot of new things. But it has been fun, and if I'm honest even if no one else likes the game, I needed a creative outlet just so I don't feel like I'm wasting my whole life managing database driven applications behind the scenes.
And who knows, maybe once I'm done with this, I'll be in a position to collaborate with others and work on some other little projects. (Probably not as the lead artist though! Haha!)

Thanks for the feedback. And yes I am also annoyed by those kind of things in games, so that has been one of the first things I tried to make sure works. So yeah there's level select, resolution options, volumes and all of that working in the game. It will also be sent around for beta testing a lot before final launch, so hopefully grammar and spelling issues are picked up.
Oh and there may be some cats in the game, but they serve only as the occasional antagonists to the dogs, who are the heroes. :-)

Yeah, sorry about the cats. I didn't want to, but coming up with 75 ideas for puzzles required some sacrifices.

Haha yeah it should. Sorry. The other option was Dogological. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

There are some cats, but maybe I'll do a 'dark side' DLC with cats as the focus. :-)

That looks like an interesting puzzle game worthy to be followed. Congrats on being close to finishing this project!
Here's hoping that it does create some additional revenue and maybe motivates you to go down the game creator route. :)
Also, thank you for the great GAs!

Thanks so much! I guess if it makes a little money I won't complain, but ultimately it has been more for me to do something different and get out of my ruts. And maybe it will allow me to get into other projects as well.

Ahh sorry. I didn't realise that was what the category was for. Thanks for moving it!

Hi everyone,
After a long time of procrastinating and false starts I'm getting to a point where I'll be ready to release my first game on Steam. It's a puzzle/ logic game along the lines of classic logic problems where you need to arrange elements based on the clues. I'm planning on having about 75 puzzles, and it'll amount to about 200 different little characters by the time I'm done. The game itself works and 40 puzzles are loaded in my version, and nearly all 75 of them are written. So still some work for me to do, but definitely at a point where I have something to show and so I think I'm ready to start getting it out there in the public space.
I know it's a very niche concept, and it's not going to be for everyone, but rather than making the usual kind of puzzle games which are usually 'path based' or 'colour match' or 'hidden thing' type games, I wanted something that would be a little different and maybe be more memorable as a result. It's certainly not meant to be a money making racket or a major source of income, and I'm really just hoping some people will enjoy it. It'll be family friendly and the difficulty will probably be about equal to a logic problem puzzle book that you might buy, so hopefully a decent balance that a lot of people can enjoy. I'm also working on a few little secrets and surprises to hopefully make it a bit more fun.
So here it is: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2423100/Terrierble_Logic/
Please use this discussion to pose any questions about the game and offer suggestions. And if the game looks like something you'll enjoy I'd appreciate a wishlist or a follow.
UPDATE: My game is included in the October 2023 Next Fest, under the Puzzles and Logic categories. Please give it a play and let me know what you think so far.
UPDATE December 2024 :
After a rather busy year with my real life job, I'm finally back to working on this and only have a few more finishing touches to work on. One thing I've always wanted to do is create a secret puzzle with representations of some people's real dogs. So I'd like to open up the floor for anyone to submit a picture of their dog to me and I'll pick five of them to include in the puzzle, illustrated in my amazing cough art style. Please also include a fact about your dog and their favourite treat and whatever name or nickname you'd be comfortable having shared in the game. You can either make your submission on this thread by replying to this comment, or by emailing me on admin@terrierblegames.com.
I will filter out any joke submissions and then let a random picker choose from the submissions to find the 5. When the game releases I will send you a key so you can see your dog in the game. This offer will close on the 5th January 2025.
DISCLAIMER:
This offer doesn't include any monetary compensation and inclusion of your dog in the game doesn't give you any rights of ownership to the content of the game or the game itself. The only things offered to the winners will be inclusion of their dog in a secret game puzzle and a game key once the game releases. If you are unwilling to abide by these conditions, please do not enter.
