Indie Dev Builds Offline Puzzle Level Generator to Ship 392 Curated Boards

An indie developer building a word-block puzzle engine chose to generate game levels offline rather than at runtime, producing a fixed library of files bundled with the app. The generator carves word grids into connected letter blocks, enforcing a rule that no alternative arrangement of the pieces can outscore the intended solution. Out of 775 source grids processed, only 392 boards passed quality checks covering playability, minimum block count, and tiling complexity. A separate verification tool independently re-derives every board's properties to catch any errors introduced during generation. The developer notes that offline generation, while straightforward to build, creates downstream dependencies — including difficulty rating and campaign ordering — that must all be resolved before the game can ship.
