Thanks everyone for the very positive feedback on my last Fillomino puzzles! I entend to continue exploring the possibilities of sudoku clues in fillomino, but meanwhile i wanted to share my blog, on which there is about a dozen other puzzles, notably Yajilin and LITS variations. There all pretty easy, but i hope fun! Any feedback is very much appreciated.
This next one is an experiment that i already posted there.
Nurikabe + Araf
Rules: Combination of Nurikabe and Araf
Numbers without a circle are nurikabe clues. Each one is part of a region that contains only one clue and has a number of cells equal to that clue. The nurikabe regions are unshaded and may only touch diagonally. A "?" is a nurikabe clue of unspecified size.
All the remaining cells are shaded and connected. Shaded cells have to be divided into araf regions. An araf region has to contain exactly two circled numbers and it's size has to be strictly between the two numbers.
Note: The shaded cells can form 2x2 groups, as opposed to standard nurikabe.
Lösungscode: Enter the colour of each cell in column 10 and row 8 (use b for black and w for white)

Very nice unusual puzzle with some interesting logic!
I was initially a little confused about the ruleset, you might wish to change "have to be part of araf regions" to "have to be divided into araf regions" to more clearly indicate that the araf regions cannot contain any unshaded nurikabe cells.
