I’ve got the new village laid out, now I just need to implement all of the extra mechanics and whatnot to tie it all together. This may include a new water inflation transformation, since one of the obstacles in the village needs it.
Oh, I also made some small tweaks; Can’t carry enemies/objects through doors anymore, health pickups, and some invincibility frames for the inflation form.

Uhhh yeah that’s about it, have this unrelated doodle of Googal.

In 0.1.22, the entire village area has been revamped and improved, as well as a few gimmicks were added here and there.
I simply did the minimum required to get this objective in the level working again so I can export another build and get feedback. There are still plenty of little things I need to do, but the major stuff is functional.

Summary
  • Remade village area
  • Implemented water, rapids, and swimming
  • Added water inflation transformation
  • The air inflation transformation does not end whenever touching a ceiling now, instead, jumping while on the ceiling will push you away from it.
  • Gave transformations invincibility frames, as well as taking away health whenever hurt while transformed
  • Health pickups
  • Added a big bonfire, and did a lot of under the hood work with attack types and how they interact with hitboxes
  • The player cannot enter doors while holding something now, special ways of getting holdable items out of the houses were added
  • Wind and special platforms were implemented, only wind is used at the moment

Hoping to add and tweak some more stuff in this area, as well as just clean up the mess I made while revamping the village. My hope is to get the first level looking really nice by September 6th, but to be honest that’s probably way too over ambitious. I still gotta finish up the village, while maybe even extending the rightmost side to match how much larger the village is now, before even getting to start on making things pretty.

Whenever you first enter the level, simply head left and you’ll be in the village in no time.

If you’re still having trouble, further left is the chiefs room, and other sections of the village by going through the little doorways on the buildings.

now i feel silly how do i get the water inflation

This is a bit more hidden away and not very obvious, in the house with the big fire in it there is a blue diamond shape. Touching it will transform googal into a water balloon.

Or you can just press the ā€œbackspaceā€ key to give yourself the water inflation transformation at any time.
