Quick intro: who are you, and what game are you making?

I’m Shin Mingi. My name is Shin Mingi. I’m making a game in Korea.

I’m making this game, Space Revolver. It’s a Sokoban-style puzzle game. You can rotate the map or all of the switches or various gimmicks therein.

What inspired Space Revolver’s puzzle design?

I’m inspired by Pokemon series.

There is an ice puzzle. There is an ice puzzle in Pokemon. Like ice cave in Pokemon.

When can players try it, and what’s the release plan?

So, maybe we’re going to demo in November or December. But not sure right now.

But we think just like November and December. So, we have the plan that February, we’re going to have the Steam Next Festival. Like the festival that name Steam Next Festival.

So, after we join that, we’re going to live on the game. So, we’re going to live on Steam first. And after maybe like Switch or mobile app.
