Sometimes you think you've completed something, but some testing and/or feedback shows you have to remake parts (or all) of it! This happened today with the obstacle course room that I showed you previously.
Here's what the entrance of the room originally looked like:
After some testing with the cutscenes and all graphics in place, we wanted to make some changes. For one, we wanted the room to have less winter and more of the other seasons. We also wanted the thorn-thingies on each side of the room to appear after you enter, so they had to be removed and inserted through a cutscene instead:
We also thought it's be cool if the room was winter to begin with, then having it change into a room of all seasons through magical means, so I did a version of it that's entirely winter, as well:
I've also been adding some decorations to the top part of the dungeon, on the walls, as can be seen here:

| Decorations added! |
In other news, we had a bit of a meeting today where we discussed what kind of items would drop in the dungeon.
We agreed on that each of the enemies will drop their own hat, so that'll be a total of six hats to find in the dungeon! You're also gonna be able to find the hammer, spear and sword that the knights wield, and a bunch of other things (some which will be crafted). Here you can see a bunch of those drops:
Since my part in making the Season Change temple is more or less done, we've started talking about what we'll do next. I'm quite a bit ahead of Teddy & Fred at this point since there's still a lot of animations that need to be made and implemented, so I've started sketching around making super basic concepts of another area, the one that will appear before the fourth (out of five!) temple.
Obviously what you see above is just some fooling around with colors and what kind of props we'd use, but basically we're thinking about making some kind of desert area, with some sort of twist.
That will, however, be a discussion we'll have tomorrow! Stay tuned and I'll let you know what we decide on (and feel free to share any ideas you might have in the comments) :D
