Rita is a masterful artist, skillfully weaving all the different threads of the puzzles, themes, and the storyline together into a gorgeous and lush tapestry, a \u201cpuzzletale\u201d if you will.&nbsp;We hope this episode inspires you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thank You to Our Sponsors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season.

[1:21]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rita tells us about how that game took place in an actual office, and how they transformed it into an escape room on weekends. [2:45]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rita talks about shipping and manufacturing delays with <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/postcurious\/the-emerald-flame\/description\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Emerald Flame<\/a><\/em>, including staff shortages and supply chain issues. [4:18]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peih-Gee talks about how quarantine affected shipping at her jewelry company. [5:49]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We talk about <em>The Emerald Flame<\/em>, Rita\u2019s narrative puzzle game that raised almost $300,000 on Kickstarter. [7:19]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rita talks about some of the difficulties with manufacturing overseas and being an indie game designer. [8:03]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rita talks about her collaborator, Jack Fallows of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cryptogrampuzzlepost.com\/\">Cryptogram Puzzle Post<\/a>. Together, they created <em>The Light in the Mist<\/em>, her new game. [12:13]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rita says the collaboration came about because Jack wanted to create a tarot deck, but didn\u2019t know how to differentiate it from other decks, and Rita said the answer was to make it a puzzle game. [13:28]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>David and Peih-Gee talk about how well integrated the puzzles are with the deck and the narrative. [13:55]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>David mentions that he thinks <em>The Light in the Mist<\/em> is \u201cunopinionated,\u201d meaning it doesn\u2019t try to dictate the type of experience players should have. [15:16]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rita talks about how she was inspired by the constraints of working with the limited resources of a tarot deck, as opposed to the blank canvas of her other games. [16:52]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rita talks about how her design style has changed since she first created <em>The Tale of Ord<\/em>. [22:28]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rita tells us that her desire to tell a substantial story is why she tends to create games with six-plus hours of gameplay. [23:46]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rita talks about the resale value of <em>The Tale of Ord.<\/em> [26:52]&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rita gave a talk at RECON \u201821 last month about hinting systems for puzzle games.

[29:31]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>David asks Rita about her \u201cprecision puzzles,\u201d&nbsp;puzzles that require very precise placement of things. [34:42]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rita talks about <em>The Dome<\/em> in the Netherlands. [37:23]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rita started playing chess at the age of 3.&nbsp;She and David chat about competitive table gaming including chess and <em>Magic the Gathering<\/em>. [38:44]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peih-Gee tells a story about how her dad tricked her in poker. [41:00]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rita talks about her love of sport climbing and bouldering, and how it has influenced her puzzle design. [43:05]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peih-Gee and Rita talk a bit about how climbing as a sport has some commonalities with the escape room scene, such as cooperative play and having to figure out a solution to a puzzle. [45:29]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rita teases us about her upcoming projects, including a limited-run holiday game, and the new game she\u2019s working on which may include building physical components.
