nikoli.com is supported by many, many puzzle authors. Some of you members will want to know more about the kind of persons who make the puzzles. To respond, we are going to publish interviews with puzzle authors, about how they make puzzles.

One Layout Puzzles

One Layout Akaris

One Layout Akaris Akari puzzles often show the authors' personalities in the layout of the hints. Then at Nikoli we thought that if we specify the layout, what differences in the flavor will the authors bring to the puzzles? And yes, we really tried it. We asked many authors to make a Akari puzzle based on the same layout, and here we have 21 of these puzzles.

One Layout Slitherlinks

We asked many authors to make a Slitherlink puzzle based on the same layout, and here we have 19 (nineteen!) of these puzzles.
