If you’re interested in SDF, I can recommend trying the free SDF Modeler first if you’re not yet familiar with Blender. SDF Modeler is much more accessible: https://sascha-rode.itch.io/sdf-modeler .

They were interested to publish our Clockwiser puzzle game, but a PC conversion had become a requirement at the time.
