I wrote The Incredible Machine game in the 90s. Now I've made Contraption Maker

I know this will likely be auto-adjusted downwards due to being a link to a reddit ad. I'm not the author, I swear that I have no affiliation. This is just the first advertisement on reddit that I was excited to see in years and years.

I saw the post earlier on Glider PRO and my sister and I also spent tons of time playing "The Incredible Machine". I can't believe the person who made that is still releasing games in the same genre today.

Very glad I stumbled on this...no idea if the new game is any good or not, but was more just excited about the story arc of this particular developer who hugely shaped so much of my childhood playtime.

The Reddit post seems to have been deleted by the author.

Hmm. It's not a post per se, it's actually an advertisement[0], although the REST endpoint is strikingly similar to a post. FWIW, the ad links through to a game[1] on the Steam Store. You just miss out on the nostalgia of the old photo of "TIM", as it was known.
