On August 12th, game creator Jonathan Blow released a video of what appears to be a new game he is working on. He is known for having worked on highly acclaimed works such as “Braid” and “The Witness”, and his new work is immediately expected by fans.
『The Witness』
Blow is best known for his works such as “Braid” and “The Witness”. As the main creator of the puzzle action game “Braid”, which was released in 2008 and became a hot topic for its production tricks, he was responsible for a wide range of development. He started his own development studio, Thekla, and spearheaded the development of the first-person puzzle game The Witness. All of his works have received “very positive” status in Steam user reviews, and fans have high expectations for Mr. Blow as a talented creator.
What Mr. Blow posted this time is a video of a game that seems to be a new game under development by Mr. Blow. In the video, a character wearing red clothes pushes a jewel to move. You can see the “Sokoban”-like gameplay in which you push objects in the squares to progress.
To tell the truth, the existence and development of the “Sokoban” style work, which is considered to be the prototype of this work, was revealed about 7 years ago. Looking at the video released at the time, it can be seen that the work in the video released this time is a new work that has been in development for a long time (related article).In addition, heTwitch channelBut I occasionally stream the development progress of the work.
Although the game was inspired by “Sokoban”, if it were a new game created by Mr. Blow, who is a master of puzzle game creation, there would have been a unique “twist” in the rules. At the moment, there are not many contents or rule settings that can be read from the video, and the imagination continues to grow. I look forward to the follow-up report.
I am a voracious omnivore gamer. I’m happy to give you a game with a strong narrative, but Shooter and Huxra are also repetitive side-skipping.
