Art of Nurikabe World: Bringing a pen-and-paper classic to life without ruining it

• Speaker: Wiebke Spieker, Hemisquare

When we set out to make Nurikabe World our goal was to present the classic pen-and-paper puzzle as a 3D landscape. From the start, we had one core rule: never let the graphics interfere with the puzzle. In this talk, I will present the art of Nurikabe World and the lessons we learned along the way.
