When Lance passed, it was one of the only times when I heard Blow be actually effusive about a person and their accomplishments.

Jack Lance was, based on his output in such a short time, obviously a genius.
I see many individual games (or even just standalone puzzles, even just puns!) of his and I'm genuinely envious of how clever they are.
It hurts to think about what he could have created if he was still around.
That's no coincidence, Thekla employed Jack Lance to work on Sinking Star until his death in 2023. Not that you'd know from the marketing, which doesn't mention any of the puzzle designers involved aside from Jon Blow.
