I hope you'll submit a presentation for Roguelike Celebration 2025. Call for presenters ends on June 30th. I know you don't claim the work to be rogue-ish, but it is, and would fit the conference perfectly.
Roguelike Celebration is, bar none, my favorite conference. It's such an enthusiastic mixture of ideas, techniques, and games history, and the group chat (sadly not preserved in the archived youtube talks) is high energy and hilarious.
I actually gave a talk in 2023! It was about creating "proc gen" puzzles for a roguelite game. If you find a mathematical problem space where you can prove that every state is solvable, then you can just generate any set of starting conditions and let the player have at it. I don't have plans to present this year, but I'm working on some games that I hope will be worth a presentation in the future.
