Picture Cross Towns

You solve Picross / Nonogram type puzzles to build cute little towns. That's basically it, that's the game.

Normally with these types of puzzles you create little pixel art images so this game is an experiment to see if the puzzle gameplay is fun when used to produce a different type of result.

↑ this turns to this ↓

 Going to try and release a little demo on Itch soon. What do you think, is the concept interesting, would you play it?

The thing with Picross is that you gradually uncover the picture, and you can start guessing what it is before you finish - you could even make educated guesses about which squares should be filled, based on what looks right. In your game, the end result - the village scene - is completely removed from the process. At best, it's kind of a reward for finishing a puzzle, but nothing more. I just don't see the point.
