This session is a deep dive into how we: designed an intuitive sliding-puzzle game based on nonograms (a popular logic puzzle); generated and curated levels for the game; and created an Endless Mode which creates levels on the fly.

We talk about the difficulties and gotchas of using level generation, and some of the processes we undertook to tests, rate, traige, and curate generated levels. We touch upon some of the features (eg. level sharing) left behind, and conclude with how the puzzle design for our next title has been influenced by what we've learnt.
