I will be sharing more of it in the coming days. Below is some concept art! #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #WishlistWednesday #roguelite09 Sep 2026 19:55 +0000at://did:plc:qfjndf5fm6nppmqn2zoaa7cb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mv4cxamwo22rhttps://bsky.app/profile/oldmayorstudios.bsky.social/post/3mulx7e73d22m🧩 Tezzel Fun Fact #10 Why "Tezzel"? It comes from tessella, the Latin word for a single small tile in a mosaic. Like in the game, every tile contributes to the wall Thanks for following the series, stay tunned for some news of my next game! #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #steam #puzzlegames03 Sep 2026 07:42 +0000at://did:plc:qfjndf5fm6nppmqn2zoaa7cb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mulx7e73d22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/oldmayorstudios.bsky.social/post/3mt2ombjc222z🧩 Tezzel Fun Fact #9 After 4 months out, here are some stats: 🧱 15,347 tiles solved by 500+ players, enough to tile 8 Barcelona apartment floors! 🏆 Only 8.8% have seen the story through ✨ 100% of players who start complete their first tile! #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #steam #followfriday14 Aug 2026 17:28 +0000at://did:plc:qfjndf5fm6nppmqn2zoaa7cb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt2ombjc222zhttps://bsky.app/profile/oldmayorstudios.bsky.social/post/3msvsqwv5nk2s🧩Tezzel Fun Fact #8 Every tool on Mateu's desk is real. Hydraulic tile artisans used metal pattern molds, pigment pots, and presses. Some workshops in Barcelona still make tiles this way today. Out now on Steam! #WishlistWednesday #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #steam12 Aug 2026 18:58 +0000at://did:plc:qfjndf5fm6nppmqn2zoaa7cb/app.bsky.feed.post/3msvsqwv5nk2shttps://bsky.app/profile/oldmayorstudios.bsky.social/post/3msggps4xes2n🧩 Tezzel Fun Fact #7 Tezzel is built around hydraulic cement tiles (rajoles hidràuliques), handmade with metal molds and a hydraulic press since the 1800s. They cover the floors of half of Barcelona's old apartments. #Gamedev #modernisme #Barcelona #Solodev #Steam06 Aug 2026 16:13 +0000at://did:plc:qfjndf5fm6nppmqn2zoaa7cb/app.bsky.feed.post/3msggps4xes2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/oldmayorstudios.bsky.social/post/3mrxge3bblc2x🧩 Tezzel Fun Fact #6 Tezzel has no traditional menu screen. Once you are crafting a tile both the Tutorial and the Quit to menu panels are part of 2 drawers that you can open. I wanted to fully immerse the UI on the environment, and I'm very proud of the result. #FollowFriday #Gamedev #UI31 Jul 2026 16:57 +0000at://did:plc:qfjndf5fm6nppmqn2zoaa7cb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrxge3bblc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/oldmayorstudios.bsky.social/post/3mrpwt225vk2a🧩 Tezzel Fun Fact #5 As you play Tezzel, the background slowly fills in with a trencadís, the broken-mosaic technique famous from Gaudi's Barcelona. Trencadís means "cracked" in Catalan. You can find it in many places in Barcelona. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trencad%C3%ADs #gamedev #Barcelona #Trencadis28 Jul 2026 17:30 +0000at://did:plc:qfjndf5fm6nppmqn2zoaa7cb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrpwt225vk2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/oldmayorstudios.bsky.social/post/3mrdfq2dlf225🧩 Tezzel Fun Fact #4 When Mateu gets commissioned by the townhall in the story, the building in the background isn't invented: it's a pixel recreation of Barcelona's actual City Hall. #Barcelona #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev23 Jul 2026 17:52 +0000at://did:plc:qfjndf5fm6nppmqn2zoaa7cb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrdfq2dlf225https://bsky.app/profile/oldmayorstudios.bsky.social/post/3mqmuhzwf3c24🧩 Tezzel Fun Fact #3 I spent an entire summer designing the 100 tiles in Tezzel. Every single one is unique, and the game deals them out so the wall you build never repeats itself. Out now on Steam !

No, you can't play without being supervised by it. The feedback I got most times about the game?
