WHAT IF YOU COULD USE THE LLEWELLYN ROPE AS A FISHING ROD

you should be able to catch a Minecraft fish and it llewelyn would say something like: I don't think this belongs here.

expanding on this idea, what if llewellyn gave you animal crossing level puns whenever you catch a fish

YYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSSS

update i got fishing working! currently it works like minecraft fishing, where you just put the thing in any body of water, wait for the sound cue, and reel it in– but i might add some other mechanics to make it more interesting

most of the main locations would have a unique fishing table, which means that the types of things you can catch and their rarity depends on where you're at

i have all of this functionality but the only problem is that i have… no fish in my item table >.> so i've been testing it by fishing out lettuce and mushrooms
perhaps i could pull some fish species from that old rift fishing game i put on scratch a while ago

if you catch a rare item llewellyn should react to it differently or the circle should blink a few times

didn't feel like writing this twice so here's a copy paste from the tumblr:

pssst! the zephyr star OST lives here now

i went and adjusted the volume of each track (hence the reuploads) to hopefully be a little more consistent, but also took the opportunity to freshen up some old ones, update the track order and names, and sprinkle in a couple (2) new ones :>

specific updates to individual tracks:

Awakening was reworked, now featuring a second variation
A Fungor Appears! -> SLUUUUURP!
A Victory for Defiant Chaos -> Victory!
If I'm Not Me, Then Who Am I -> Zee, At Your Service!
Battle Against a Fungal Foe -> Fungi Fun Battle!
Fight Against A Suspicious Opponent -> Octahedronical
C3rtif1d Y0UG1s M0m3nt -> C3RTIFId YOUGIZ MOM3NT
Battle Against a Man Eating Plant -> Simply Scrumptious Battle
Welcome to Riftview Apartments©™ -> Enjoy Your Stay!
Voices In My Head -> Alpha, Loyal Protector
Reflection -> Flec, Defiant Justice
NONSTANDARD INANIMATE LEVIATHAN -> NIL-8R, CHAOS CORRUPT
Broken, Scattered, Entranced and Broken, Scattered, Entranced (Part 2) have been merged into one track
Battle Against A Lost Soul -> Revenge of the Pull Box!
Whoa! Funky Groovy Prison Dungeon -> Mystery in Hiveopolis

Added: Spicy Octahedronical (track 29), Volley Dance (track 45)

Removed (for now): Drifting (Chapter 1), Zee Joins The Party, Mystery Jingle, Alpha's Interlude, Our Fates Intertwined (C3rtif1d Y0UG1s M0m3nt Reprise), Under Starlight, Entamaphobia, Awakening Reprise

working on a really cool section of the crystal forest where new instruments get added to the music and you have to use that to solve puzzles (like a little area with two pathways, and no matter which one you take it's an infinite loop and you come out back at the entrance– but in this specific area, a bass gets added to the music that has two different pitches in a specific pattern, and both of the pathways make sounds with the same two pitches as you walk through them…)

screenshotting this just in case

something i really want to do is recapture that feeling that the latter half of earthbound gives off— in that game you go from exploring peaceful towns and big cities to exploring a far off swamp across a desert across the ocean, a huge world underneath the surface of the earth where dinosaurs still live, the deepest depths of your own mind, and the beginning of time– gradually getting further from civilization and what's familiar until you're in places where no person has ever gone

i have determined that im not conveying the rift's weird space and time enough in the game's level design so i made the city loop indefinitely if you try to leave from the east exit (you'd seamlessly end up all the way at the west side, it wraps around like pac-man– but if you take the west exit, it leads to the riftscape plane and not the east side where you just came from)

ah nice! i now have the urge to list all the game fishing mechanics i can think of:
- minecraft: what you already said
- terraria: basically just minecraft's system at its core, but it also has a bait system and tons of fishing rods and fishing-based accessories, as well as way more fishable items
- stardew valley: like terraria, but with less upgrades/bait/accessories, a reeling-in-fish minigame during fishing, and the added feature of bubbles where fishing works better
- sneaky sasquatch: fish are already in the water, visible as shadows; you can lure them in and reel them in, also has rewards for turning in fish varieties for the first time to certain people
- starbound: some core mechanics similar to sneaky sasquatch, but it's a side view and fish shadows spawn once you start fishing
- don't starve: …actually, i haven't done much fishing in this game, if any… i think it's similar to minecraft?
- omori: wait a set amount of time, and you'll reel something in, rinse and repeat; however, you rarely find an item you can keep

yume nikki vibes yume nikki vibes
i love it
(for context, yume nikki is a game taking place in the protagonist's dreams, and many of its worlds, if not most of them, openly loop in a similar way to this; a couple places even use the same concept of looping in only one direction. i've been playing a lot of yume 2kki lately (a yume nikki fangame), so this made me think of that… it's very fitting tbh–)

come to think of it… melody, if you haven't played yume nikki, you should; it's a very strange game, but it's known for its atmosphere, and perhaps it could give you some inspiration for the vibes you want to achieve with the rift? (unless you're already taking inspiration from it lol–) (also, yume nikki has been another inspiration for earthbound-inspired rpgs at least 3 times… (undertale, deltarune, and omori.) why not make it 4?)

Kumquats strike again
