Congrats to you and the rest of the team! I played through this over the last few days and found it hard to stop. It’s cute, delightful, polished, and has a wonderfully positive view on human community that feels so good to see these days. Thank you for putting so much love into creating Mythmatch!

Not wrong. I kind of wish it were boxes and triangles. Both kiki, but with the number of sides corresponding to odd/even. And I suppose the word Odd starting with a circle is a reasonable argument for the current standard.

I’m so sorry, Kee. A lot of what they do with Raz is my fault. I made those bugs.

Neat concept!
Got this in only two guesses because it uses a ruleset I was already familiar with. I like how it highlights the rule violations on incorrect guesses. Looking forward to more!

I just built 5.7 in vs 2026 this past week using the 2022 toolchain. The things I needed in the installer were under Individual Components. Searched for “14.44 build tools”. I think the two things I needed were MSVC and ATL.

Bee Magic is a wonderful puzzle game (go play it!). Using movement patterns to cast spells creates interesting challenges with the level design. Really nice to read about design iteration on the map!

Behind the Code: On The Move! Raz is an acrobat. He runs, jumps, climbs, rolls, swings, and slides through the world.

Last year I wrote about the movement systems for Raz that we built on top of Unreal’s CharacterMovementComponent. This covers the architecture of our Move Mode system, how a few of our custom modes work, and a bit about dealing with inconsistent gravity.

The most egregious scrabble play I’ve seen allowed is “MRT”. As in the actor Mr T. The folks at that table had a very unique interpretation of the rules.

I hope to find time to write more of these. It’s great to be able to share behind the scenes info for others to learn from. And the process of writing helps me think about how I might improve similar systems in the future.

I wrote a small series of articles earlier this year about some gameplay features I worked on in Psychonauts 2. A little look into how we built and tuned the systems. Here’s the one about Raz’s jump: doublefine.com/news/devin-a...

Wow, 512 followers! Intro post time! I make games (current: Double Fine, past: LucasArts, Dynamighty). Mostly a programmer, but some design too. Other interests include music (piano and composition), puzzles, and being outside. Quiet, but sometimes I like to write about gameplay systems.

I played 868-HACK during my daily commute for years. Fantastic roguelike with interesting risk/reward choices, simple controls, and turn-based gameplay so you can play at your own pace. Very excited that a sequel is in the works!

I have fond memories of playing a bunch of these with you! Also Mario Kart on the broken tv where green and red shells were slightly different shades of brown.

Navigating a brain involves running, climbing, and more.

I have a vague recollection that there were reasons we didn’t use EQS for this feature, but I wasn’t involved in the decision and unfortunately don’t know what they were. Best guesses: EQS being labeled “experimental” or concerns about it being too tightly tied to AI systems.

Most of the time game thread wasn’t the limiting factor in frame rate. We considered various optimizations (multithreading, storing targets in an octree, etc.) but didn’t end up needing to.
