Implicit Directors

This genre reminds me of Yajilin, but feels more flexible. The addition of two arbitrary directions leads to different styles of logic in both. I also find Implicit Directors slightly easier for me to set because placing a new clue doesn't add new solutions.

Shade some cells and draw a loop through the rest of the cells. Shaded cells cannot be orthogonally adjacent. Numbers must be on the loop and count the amount of shaded cells seen from the clue in the two directions that the loop enters/exits the clue from.
