As usual I will start with Big Dreams. Unlike last month, there's actually been some really good progress on it. Part 2 is at the stage where the layout has been made and I've been getting some people to playtest it to make it better.

Hopefully by next month I can replace the gray boxes with real assets and maybe I can also even get to working on Part 3.

But until then, here's a few more images of this part currently

it'll be cool to look at these again once I put the assets in

Speed Pads are a new platforming prop that give you a temporary speed boost.

I'm pretty happy with how they turned out both gameplay and visuals wise and I'm already using them in Part 2 of Big Dreams

They can also be set to have an opposite effect where they slow you down instead

Doors are simple interactibles that will be useful once I get to working on the real Islands, where they could be used to enter houses and stuff like that.

Doors have 3 modes: Simple, Teleport and Scene Change

In simple mode, interacting with doors just lets you open it and walk through it.

In teleport mode, two doors can be linked together where going into one will teleport you to the other.

A scene change door lets you go to an entirely different scene (level)

Time Orbs add more time to the active timer once you touch them

I've placed a few of these around Part 2 of Big Dreams so that you can gain more time if you go a bit outside of the intended path.

The Diary

The Diary now changes based on which levels you've visited! Every new Island you visit adds 2 new pages to the Diary and then it changes as you complete more parts of it.

The Evil Darkness

It slowly consumes you.
