Looking for the common name of this Fillomino variant
#1
Question 
Hello,

I'm a solo developer making puzzle games.
Recently, I made a small browser puzzle based on Fillomino-style rules. For now, I'm calling it "Ray Fillomino."
The basic idea is similar to Fillomino: you create regions whose sizes match the given numbers. The difference is that each region can only extend in a straight line vertically or horizontally from its numbered cell.
I'm not sure whether this type of rule already has a commonly used name in the puzzle community, so I'd be very interested to know if anyone recognizes it or knows of a similar existing puzzle.

I've also published a small set of 20 relatively easy puzzles on itch.io that can be played directly in the browser:
https://nanatsuki26.itch.io/ray-fillomino

If you try it, I'd also be very happy to hear any thoughts on how clear the rules are or how the puzzle feels to solve.

Four Winds (Vier Winde). Here is an example puzzle.

Note: This isn't really related to Fillomino at all. A major condition in Fillomino, which isn't present here, is that regions of the same size are not adjacent to each other.

Thanks! Four Winds / Vier Winde was exactly what I was looking for, and thanks as well for pointing out my misunderstanding about Fillomino.
I’ve updated the name and description on the itch.io page accordingly.

I also really appreciate the example puzzle you shared — it was very helpful to see a good Four Winds puzzle in practice.
Inspired by that, I’ve added a few more challenging puzzles to the itch.io version as well.
