Help creating a panoramic adventure game! Puzzles needed!
Hey everybody and thanks for keeping my favorite game genre live!
At this moment I have a panoramic adventure game concept, working game engine prototype,
there are even some theatre actors who can play as game characters.
Currently I’m in search of mini puzzle games which will be used in the game. Can anybody share any info about such a kind of puzzles? Just to clarify, I’m looking for puzzles in Myst style - the ones that do not require inventory with loads of keys, chairs, ladders and other stuff.
About myself: I’m a game developer with 5 years experience; around 25 game projects from flash to PC/Unity.
Thanks,
V
are you lookin for ideas of puzzles?, maybe i can help, but i don’t think i understand you correctly.. elaborate, please.
Its time for Ammonia puzzle to get marterialized
sorry, just kiddin
there a say that goes here “it is where the pun was needed” 
, and that is it exactly..
no, it just my brother is a writer and sometimes he needs my adventurous talent 
to aid him with some mysterious actions like puzzles, the kind created by some killer for a detective to follow, not necessarily this but i did help with a couple of tips tho.
Right, sorry for the delay. Heres one I’ve developed by myself:
Imagine a box with a rotating metal shaft, 5 holes and another square metal shaft which needs to be rotated.
You have a three another shafts (round cuts) and 3 pairs of gears, one twice bigger than the next. So you have R1, R1, R2, R2, R3, R3. The biggest ones, R3, have a round hole and wouldn’t transmit rotation if placed on a square shaft.
5 holes where you can place a round shafts are placed in a row but on various distances (see my ugly picture). You can only put one gear on one shaft.
Thats it. Make the right shaft rotate CCW to open the box. Make it rotate CW to open another part of that box. You don’t need an inventory to play that puzzle, just face the box and drag-and-drop gears. It is pretty challenging (can be trivial, can be even more complex).
Level-up: you have like 8-10 gears and you can put two gears on one shaft. That means that rotation can be delivered from shaft 1 to 3, from 3->4, 4>2, 2>5, 5>6.
Level-up 2: You found a nail in the first section of that box and now you can use it as another shaft by placing it anywhere around the existing holes.
Maybe it looks complex on paper, but it is not when playing.
