It takes a lot of thought to get just the right story, design, layout, pacing, and balance of puzzles, logic, mystery, suspense, and effort to bring to life all of the characters in a fun and interesting way. You have to make sure that the characters each have a story, a background, reasons for behavior, and sometimes a little bit if wit and humor. To design a Nancy Drew adventure, you have to be able to think of literally every part of the game.What I find really fun is this: every time I play a game, there is something new I notice...in fact, there are still some little bits of random connections and fun references hiding if you look hard enough. (Have you really tried finding all of the 8's and 80 references in Secrets Can Kill Remastered? There are a lot!)
Tomorrow's the weekend puzzle, stay tuned for a slightly easier one this time. ;)

Is that another I Love Lucy reference I see? They had Lucy McGuilicutty on STFD, along with Vivian Vance on the guest list at WW. Does the Desi sign mean that the next game will involve some comedy? Or will it take place in Cuba? That would be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool if they did! :D

I loved reading that interview. There is so much that goes into creating a game. Please keep bring us that kind of inside information.
Wait, never mind. What I thought was the name of a Cuban band leader just turned out to be the word Design. Lol. I'm a weirdie. Lol. :P
