Developer posts and news about this game.
Hi, all! This is our first update post-launch. First off, we want to thank everyone who has purchased the game, and played it. Thanks also to those who have left reviews, which have been almost entirely positive and often incredibly gratifying to read. You’re all who we made this
Fixed a problem where music would be turned down but the map transition music would be played too loudly.
The day has finally come, and we’re excited to be able to share Puzzle Spy International with the world! When I look back, we’ve actually been working on this for 7 years or so: The initial idea came back around 2019 or so when we decided that we wanted to make a game that combin
Hi folks, especially those recently joining us for the Steam Next Fest! Hope everyone is finding new titles and fun demos to try out! I haven’t had time for game demos this week because we’ve been busy putting the finishing touches on Puzzle Spy International. A lot of work last

Greetings from Puzzle Spy International HQ! We’ve been busy putting the finishing touches on the last puzzle you get to solve in the game. We had been stuck on exactly how to make it work for a while but a change of perspective and approach made it come together really nicely. We

It’s been a busy month or two at Puzzle Spy International headquarters: We spent July prepping for showing the game at MAGwest, including a fun stand-up of Agent Epsilon, a nicely-decorated table and an extra monitor that never quite interfaced with our laptop correctly. But beca
This month we’ve been finishing up the coding of one of the later puzzles in the game: Fans of the daily word-connection puzzle game Circuits will enjoy this one. We play Circuits every day as a couple, and you can play it yourself at . One of the other important things that I’ve
The most exciting news for this month is that the demo for Puzzle Spy International is out now! We released it yesterday, just in time for participation in the Spy Video Game Rendezvous (which started yesterday on Steam) and the coming week's Cerebral Puzzle Showcase which we'll
It's been a slow month of progress for PSI, mostly focused on getting the game to save properly. There's more testing needed, but we really wanted to make sure that a player could save the game mid-puzzle, as it can take 30 - 60 minutes to complete a single puzzle! But things are
Now that I’m back from GDC – the Game Developers Conference, where I had a lot of fun showing Puzzle Spy International at an indie showcase event at Syzygy in San Francisco – it’s back to work on the game! This past month, we’ve been playtesting, adding coding to one of the newer
We’ve made some great progress refining several puzzles this past month. I’ve done art for new locations and characters, and we attended two live playtest events. We got a lot of great feedback on several puzzles, and have been busy adjusting the puzzles (and some of the UI aroun
