RogueWave
Labs

It always starts
with a puzzle.

I'll lose a whole evening to a Sudoku or a nonogram and not feel it go. It's the logic that gets me: a handful of plain rules that fold into something you can turn over for hours. I've always cared more about why a puzzle works than about finishing it.

That fascination is the reason RogueWave Labs exists. I'd play something clever and not be able to stop poking at it. What if this rule were sharper? What if it felt better under your thumb, or pushed one step past where it usually stops? Sooner or later you have to quit critiquing and go make the thing. So that's what I do: small games, each one a single idea taken as far as I can take it, then a little further every time I come back to it.

I didn't start out knowing how to build any of this, and I won't pretend otherwise. I just won't let that be the reason it doesn't get made, so I use every tool I can get my hands on, AI included, to close the gap between what I picture and what I can ship. It's working. Each release lands closer to the thing in my head than the last, and I'm having an absurd amount of fun closing the rest of that distance.
