A digital coworking space for builders

This week in RaidGuild

RaidGuild Weekly Public Brief — October 19–25, 2026

A squishy physics game gave this week’s public updates something concrete to explore. An October 21 field note shared the work behind Puddle, alongside the questions its builder is still trying to solve.

• Watch the brief: The weekly public brief podcast for October 19–25, 2026.
• Puddle: a playable work in progress: Puddle grew out of experiments with soft bodies and particle materials. The note describes a playable browser game with seven authored levels and a workshop for building local levels. It also reports a useful limit of the tools: checking a level’s structure does not establish whether it is solvable or enjoyable. Play-testing and human attention to level design still matter. The game remains a work in progress. Read the Puddle field note.
• Arcade Alchemy: That work sits within Arcade Alchemy, RaidGuild’s month of revisiting classic game mechanics with AI-assisted tools. The cohort brief asked builders to share a playable link, a short gameplay video, and a build note by October 30. It gives the experiments a practical shape: make something people can try, then explain what changed along the way. Explore Arcade Alchemy.
