In May I posted about Clues by Sam, a logic puzzle inspired by Murdle. It's been growing nicely, new players coming in every week. It's starting to look possible that it'd grow big enough that I could one day become a serious side hustle. So I've put all my "free time" in this for the past two months.

The levels are procedurally generated with heavy curating and additional manual tweaks. I'm also adding a narrative later to each puzzle myself. It's a rare type of puzzle, since few puzzles have means to convey any kind of narrative.

My next big additions will likely be a tutorial, and profile page where you see your results and how they compare to other players. But this being just a side thing, it's progressing really slow...
