The Witness Hits New Milestone with All Puzzle Complete, Focus on Polishing - News

Jonathan Blow the creator behind the game Braid has been working hard on his next game, The Witness. The puzzle game has hit a new milestone in that all 677 puzzles of the game are now complete and the team can now focus on polishing the game up.

"On Friday we officially reached the Puzzle Complete milestone.," said Blow in a post on the official The Witness website. "This means that all puzzles that will be in the game when it ships are in the game now."

"It does *not* mean that the game is done. We still have a lot to do! But it *does* mean that the nature of the work changes and becomes simpler, because we don’t have to be making high-level creative decisions any more. It is now much more about turning the finish-the-game crank (making sure stuff plays well and polishing it up) for anything related to game design, modeling and texturing."

"There are a few categories that still need creative decisions (story stuff, the menu system, etc), but for those of you who are awaiting the game’s release, this is pretty good news."

I'm so pumped for this game. While I cannot wait for it, I want them to take as much time as possible making it as perfect as they possibly can.
