We use an iterative design process.
The levels that that are now in the game were first designed on paper way back when.
Afterwords, the levels were built in the game engine but at this stage they were very rough, with many places a player could get stuck, etc.
Once all of the levels were “in the game”, we began testing and bringing each one closer and closer to completion. By the time this came to an end, the levels were nothing like their paper counterparts.

Mikhail,

When are we going to get the next The next meet episode?

I can’t wait until you give us a peek at how the puzzles are created, and the principles of design in the game.

Also any hints at what levels you, Kasper Kristensen, and Bo Strandby each created?

I do however remember though that Ole in the “AAAARGHH! Development update!” told me that all the levels were already designed but only in alpha version.

That you guys were just implementing the right graphics, and getting them balanced and polished.

I wish I had a release date for you Dirk. However, even we don’t know exactly when the game will hit the shop channel, that is up to Nintendo. It will not be long though, just a matter of weeks.

@Malouff:
I don’t want to now what other games are in the shop channel this week, I want to hear that Max is coming out

Hopefully it is coming next week.

A contest would be cool and I agree with Malouff it doesn’t HAVE to be anything fancy. I’m sure you guys have some concept art laying around that no one has seen. As for signatures personally I don’t really care about things like that.

Mikhail if Lasse does not have the time you could still do things like exclusive still images from the game or use artwork already around the office like the posters seen in the background on the videos.

Also digital distribution would be the fastest and cheapest form of a prize.

You could even digitize signatures of the PressPlay team on the artwork.

A contest you say… that’s a good idea, Malouff. I don’t know if Lasse has the time or energy to do extra work right now though. Perhaps in the near future we’ll do something like that. It could be fun.

As for our goals, I’ll let you know in two days time
