Whenever I try to create a fun/challenging puzzle, it turns out wayy too hard, or ridiculously easy. Does anyone else have issues with this, or am I just really bad at creating holds? :~( Does anyone have any tips on creating puzzles and actually making someone think about your hold???

:-O i suggest making them go down a pair of stairs with a few roaches on the way and then making a pressure plate maze to get the sword and possibly a sheild........ I would try going and trying 12th Archevist's break out of jail for a puzzling level

You should definitely play as many different holds as you can - that's the best way to get a feel for what architectural decisions work and which ones don't.

Check out this forum thread for more advice from our members.

Welcome to the forum, guys!
