Hi everybody,

I was interested to know if anybody here has some great ideas for a bit of a puzzle element in my game.

Kinda like the things Lara Croft in Tomb Raider does you know throw a couple of switches here, move a rock there.... any idea is welcome really, I just need to brain storm a little bit.

If anyone has some great ideas they are much appreciated, thank you!

I'm working on a new puzzle game called Captive.
In it, I have many puzzles. One of which is a Terminal
that remotely controlls a robot that you have to use to activate a switch that opens a door. But first you must find the missing parts to use the terminal. I wrote all the scirpts for this and it works perfectly. I'm thinking of selling the scripts later. But if you can figure it out, it makes a great puzzle.

Another puzzle I have is an animated camera that if the player steps into view, it will sound an alarm and activate enemies.
To avoid trouble you must walk in the shadows and shoot the camera.

Try that too.

Good luck.

I'm in the designing stage of a puzzle game. It's called UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Guess the rest.

Best I can say is to study the genre.

Check this thread. It has a bit on puzzles but the entire thread is good reading.

Best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

hey xplosys I've been trying to e-mail you about the four digit code door here when i use it the door opens and all, but is all white and you can't go trough it.

Any advice on what I am doing wrong? The code opening etc all works except for the white door opening part and not being able to go trough the door.... (
