When I came back from being sick today I saw that Kielo had started to do some landscaping yesterday in the Night Island Level that I'm working in. Since I wasn't done with the block-out I had to remove her progress for now, however, I made a Art Level for Kielo where I copied and pasted her progress so she could continue to play around! I continued working on the Night Island: I had planned a secret passage that would go though the waterfall revealing a secret area inside, and that the player would find it by change if they tried to jump through the water fall. However that didn't make sense gameplay wise since we have decided that the player will immediately die if they come in contact with water. My solution was to just have the former "secret" area open for the player to explore if they want to. Giving the player a choice to continue on to the left or straight inside the waterfall or to the right. I decided to block off the view to the left when they come inside, to guide the player to the right. There are two platforms that are moving up and down and the player will have to wait and time their jump to progress upwards. Then there is a Bounce Pad that the player can use to first get the three bugs and then jump over to the path that will lead the player to the pond where they can fish for the Flying Fish. I also added a placeholder crying statue that can just be switched out for a waterfall if Alva-Maria decides not to use it for narrative purposes. But I wanted for her to at least have one place where she definitely can provide the player with narrative. I also decided to place the statue there to draw the players attention to that place when they enter the cave since the pond is placed higher up than what they player can see. When the player is done they can proceed to leave the area by using their new gliding power. The Blue orb is the former "Dream Catcher" which is now just called "Placeholder Item", but it is the item that will turn Gloomy Loomies happy again. As a reward for getting through the area.
