Ah haha the puzzle goblin! I have one in my house too. What is it about those pieces that they love so much!? It’s so sad when there’s one gnarly piece stoping you from completing the puzzle. At least you have lots of backups I guess. Anyway I love puzzles but never thought about them from an illustration perspective. What you said makes so much sense. Thanks for sharing the process. Also very interested in that game you shared. Seems right up my alley.
If you like puzzle games, I can also recommend The Curse of the Golden Idol. It's kind of like a point and click adventure, but instead of finding some kind of key/lock combination to advance to the next zone, you have to deduce exactly what's happening in the scene. It's pretty complicated, but also very satisfying. We played the sequel just before Lorelei. The same team also made Return of the Obra Dinn several years back, which works on the same principal, and was also very satisfying to solve.
