English Country Tune (2011) — Where an Egg Falls Changes Every Time It Moves
On November 25, 2011, Stephen Lavelle (increpare) — a developer who had already released over 500 free games — put a price on one for the first time: English Country Tune. Its Sokoban-like opening, pushing eggs into incubators, quickly collapses into a rule where gravity itself rewrites with every move. Nominated for Design Excellence at IGF 2012, it precedes the free PuzzleScript engine (2013), 2016's Stephen's Sausage Roll, and — by the creator's own account — Baba Is You. We trace, with sources, the origin of Lavelle's uncompromising design philosophy.
PuzzleScript(2013)——一行规则，量产了全世界的「推箱子游戏」
2013年10月，Stephen Lavelle(increpare)免费公开了浏览器解谜引擎 PuzzleScript。这个只需一行规则就能做出仓库番类谜题的工具，经由 Alan Hazelden 的早期作品，孕育出《A Good Snowman Is Hard to Build》，又经过 Hempuli 本人所说的“推箱子谜题复兴”，一路连到了《Baba Is You》的土壤。本文核实这条系谱。
Stephen Lavelle 的哲学 — 以「不解释」为作品
「Nah I don't feel like it（不，我不想说）」——面对玩家希望他解说自己作品设计的请求，Stephen Lavelle（increpare）只给出了这样简短的回答。这位为独立游戏开发者做了免费拼图引擎 PuzzleScript、并凭一己之力制作了被誉为《史上最难的索科班》的《Stephen's Sausage Roll》的开发者，500多部作品中的大多数都以免费形式公开发布。本文通过分析本人的博客与采访，考察其工作方式与哲学。
