After getting hit by the news of Nordh / Cipher Bin Ary's double life, you feel the need to take a walk through the city to collect your thoughts. You tell him you need a bit of time to process everything, and that when you're ready you'll come back through the doors of the Puzzle Agency.

I've seen your threads before but never got involved because I thought you had to use the older threads as part of the new ones and thought I was out of the loop but I loved that ipad puzzle and the time you must have spent putting that video together, I can't imagine how long it took :D Thanks, that was fun :)

I've tried to make it clear that previous cases are not a prerequisite, but it can help having experience with my style and know the kind of tricks I like to throw into the mix.

Thanks, it took quite some time, both for me and DownwardConcept, well over a business week in man hours. :)

Well, have a bump for now and maybe a reminder for me to try the billiard balls later again -_- Out of curiousity: Is the overall "plotline" already written out so that the puzzle agency is reaching a dedicated ending or is it written as it happens?

I've had a rough idea on most of it beforehand. Because how the last case ended, I couldn't have it set in stone. Because of the result, it's also the reason why I don't call this one a case. We no longer work for the agency. When I started designing this case I didn't know which way it would go with the vote, it was quite close, but I knew I could use some puzzles for either way, and some could be tweaked to fit the story. The man cave was the first one I designed, and had the explosion gone off, the pool balls would have been on the ground because of that.

I have 3 story concepts I know I want to do with Nordh and the agent now that I know how the last case went, but I haven't come up with puzzles that would fit it. This will however be the last story for a while. It ends mid june, and I'm not going to be around much during summer. But that will be time I can design and create ideas for upcoming puzzles. :)

Hm, this sounds like you made the story dependent if anyone actually solves the cases? Or is there another criterium which determins how the story end if it isn't set in stone yet?

Hm, on proper reading your answer it seems there was a poll included in the last case. Well, take your time to develop the puzzles. I think puzzles are the one thing this forum will always have a supply of.

Yes, at the end of the last puzzle people could either choose to join Nordh or leave him to his fate for being a terrorist. The join-side won by a small margin.

How does FTWD compare to TWD? Haven't started it and not sure if I should.

Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Oh don't ask me questions like that, I don't like comparing things. :P I just like how it offers a different view on the outbreak, starting from day zero and stuff. And also from a more urban view. I mean, it's not as good as TWD, but for me it's a pretty good substitute until it comes back.

The biggest concern I have about it is that I just don't care much for many of the characters. The story is good though.

Statistics updated. We can see a nice and healthy downcline on solvers along the way from start to finish. I'm going to drop a hint for the iPad, to get people into the bookcase and perhaps see their own name on one of the books. :)

I want to bump. BUT bumping decreasing my chance of winning. SO in my best interest is not to bump. So why do I want to bump? And will I bump? I don't know. That a mystery only for best detectives
