Besiege is notionally a game about engineering medieval siege weapons. But it’s best to think of it as a metaphor for the creative process. It begins with inspiration. “Egads! A mobile artillery platform with seven cannons running along a manually adjustable beam would bring down those wooden airships. It’s genius!”
With that, you grab your virtual hammer and set about erecting your ridiculous death contraption. You’ll hammer out the frame, align the wheels, affix the steering block and prepare to line up your cannons. This is it, your masterwork. History will remember you for this.
Your progression to the next level is up in the air.
Then you slap your forehead. You forgot to add a pivot for adjusting the vertical aim. You fix this, but now your vehicle is taller than the level allows, so you need to reduce the overall height, which also means increasing the power of your cannons so their shot will reach its target.
