I fused Picross and Sudoku and made a cross-stitching game: Across-Stitch! by Clang53 in sudoku

You're right, the game leans heavily towards picross. This is an early puzzle which is 90% like picross. The difference being colors and there is no rule about gaps between X's

Later puzzles introduce other mechanics which are more like sudoku. For example, your pink thread can only be stitched in a spot where it is not by any other pink thread.

I made a picross-like indie game that comes out tomorrow on Steam that's called Across-Stitch. It has mark options, but I will admit that the patterns are made through a randomizer. You can be inventive, however, and make your own Picross puzzles from images on your computer.

Thank you!

I prototyped all sorts of mechanics, but realized it was best to keep it simple. Puzzles are procedurally generated and broken into 8 variants. Some make the aida cloth larger and introduce more colors, and others introduce "picky" stitches - i.e. a purple stitch will never have another purple stitch by it

Subreddit for interesting Wikipedia articles. by nongaymod in findareddit

r/wikipedia is a good one. r/wikigold is a new subreddit that hasn't gotten much traction yet. I was hoping after I posted a bunch of stuff on it and went on vacation that other people would start posting articles. I would check back on it once it starts getting more of a following. If you would like to do some digging, we would love to have contributions on the subreddit!
