Shorah again,
Thanks for the tip Annabelle. It sounds like you are referring to the two drawings in the hut with the colored dots? I think I already understand what they are showing. I'm just not sure what the button behind the hut gate does; I can hear it do something (make the sound of a heavy metal door opening/closing) but I haven't been able to find anything in the Age that has changed as a result. I'm not sure how many times by now I've toggled that button and then searched everything I could find in the Age to see what changed. So far, nothing....
denost2, I have even more feedback for you!
In order to check all the buttons in the Age without losing my current progress (so I could try to figure out if everything is working correctly as a result of me originally not playing the game as intended/designed), I replayed Iceworld with a different avatar, doing everything in the correct order. There were several thoughts I wanted to pass on to you as a result:
- Show Spoiler
It would be really helpful if the four transports were marked in some way at their hub station near the binary building (it's very easy to forget which goes where).
It would be really nice to have direct links to the Iceworld nexus here and there in the Age (instead of having to relto out and then link back to Iceworld).
It's possible to get stuck gamewise in at least two ways:
1. Hut: reltoing out from inside the hut after opening the gate/closing the front door.
2. Island Tower: reltoing out from inside the tower when the transport is there and the door going outside is closed.
Both of these cases can be fixed by adding an external means to open the doors (the tower island issue could also be fixed by linking to the inside of the tower from the nexus pedestal instead of onto the island outside the tower). I think you can be sure that there will be some explorers who wind up doing the above as they are experimenting with the puzzles and their solutions.
And I still have no clue about the lighted ring...
I am appreciating and enjoying your work very much! I'm especially glad for all your safety precautions (all the railings that keep me from falling down), and how you allow us to jump down safely from very great heights (instead of reltoing out). Thanks for all your hard work!!
