i'd like to think that i've played enough video games to intuitively understand a lot of precepts of level design, even if i don't have a ton of experience in making levels myself. yet. but i will.

there is one small visual thing i need to fix re: the changes i made but that's not a big enough deal for me to care about at this exact moment, i know what it is and have noted it down so i can get back to it later.

though i am realizing that i have yet to introduce something that makes this setup work the way i want, so i may take it out and move it to later, aheh.

honestly with how absolutely bonkers this january has been all around it's a minor miracle that i got anything done this month, if you ask me, much less both as much as i did for the game as well as putting out a quick little video on top of it all.

been struggling to get as much work done as i wanted to this week but i've been forcing myself to at least do one thing a day. unfortunately today i just got to have a little fun with this yippee moment.

a bit of a messy look in the level design is part of what i'm going for, anyways. a lot of the details here have no real level design purpose, but they look neat!

nothing i'm working on is final right now, anyways. the point is to have something at all.

i need to rework my checkpoint object to make it more flexible at some point, right now it's tall but you -can- jump over it which isn't great. i don't want to make it -too- tall either 'cause i'm worried there could be overlap in rooms above if i do that...
