4. We Have No Gamedesign At All

Cool! Now our little MAZk is walking around the area in a strange alien world. But what exactly is he doing there? Maybe it's a game that works as similar as Zeld. Maybe it's also a puzzle and you have to solve crazy puzzles.

Random Dungeons

I didn't know anything about what makes a good game design. After many discussions with Simon, I ventured on my first idea for our game. A rough idea with some randomized spaces was born.

Unfortunately, it was all very daring and somehow it all led to a dead end. Now there was this world, this character Mazk, and no game design. That was the point at which Mazk went into hibernation for 1-2 years. Somehow Simon and I knew that this was not the last MAZK time.

Read how Mazk became a board game in Dev-Log 5.
