Dulcamara, this is just the awesomeness!!! Annabelle already mentioned a while ago that you've changed a lot and I expected to see quite some differences, but not that much ... You have changed, enhanced and improved on almost e v e r y t h i n g, the textures and the styles etc. of almost everything, and there is much awesome new stuff in there and you have even expanded the whole main world of Elodea with much more to do and explore ... Wow!!! ...

I just compared my old pictures to the new ones ... this is almost unbelievable, and it starts already when you link in ... Everyone who explored it already, link in there again and you will just fall over ... It is almost all new, even many of the cloths are in different places, so, this is a whole new world to explore again, and Elodea main now fits completely with the other worlds of the Elodea universe ... It is also wonderful that we now have separate links to the various ages ...

Much effort, dedication and excellence went into this update, Dulcamara, what an astounding and awesome job ... Thank you ...

Glad to se that Janaba (re)discovered Elodea, I told more or less the same as her... if you think you know Elodea, unfortunately you don't, go back there and discover it, it's awesome.

Talking about new stuff and added goodies, I'm really impressed because the version 2.0 (since end of August) has been greatly modified.

Here are some of the new areas I never saw before this last update:

There's a leaf on the vines from where you can do a run-jump to reach a ledge, there's a small cave with two wooden suspended houses. I'm inside the 2nd one on that picture.


I'm at the bottom of a hidden cave. You must swim & dive to get there. If you want to know where is the entrance, read my next spoiler


It might look suspicious to stand like that at the bottom of an underwater cave looking at big fishes right above my head but there's a spot where you'll automatically drown to the bottom.
To swim & exit from this cave, just walk toward a side and you will swim back. The exit is shown on the first picture of the underwater cave.

Don't read this spoiler if you want to find the hidden underwater cave by yourselves (cave on my pictures above)

Inside a cave where you can swim inside (there are 2 in Elodea), find a big sculpted portrait on the cave wall, swim in the opposite direction toward the deadend nearby, you will drown and enter inside a rust coloured area and then to the cave with fishes

Annabelle, I know for sure those new above-ground pictures of yours are of things that have appeared since last Friday when I first explored Dulcamara's new update. She is one busy gal!! I'm sure she deserves even *more* chocolate now!!!

And thanks for finding that fishy cave! You didn't mention it in your notes, but there are two ways out from it, the same way you get in plus a different exit. And while hunting for it, I found a "backstage" entry too. Just beware that my video is very spoilery, both in terms of showing how to find the "back door" and in showing "backstage" views of Elodea (which some folks might find breaks their immersion or enjoyment of this wonderful Age--personally, I find these views quite beautiful and inspiring, but that's just me ).

[Annabelle]

I'm happy to see I'm not the only one to explore an age inside-out

I didn't mention the 2 exits but yes I was aware of them. I never thought of reaching that cave coming from the other "swimming" cave! I'm not sure your video is much spoilery because we don't see the huge portrait on the wall I'm referring to but in a sense since you start from one "swimming" cave and show where the underwater cave is located (beside the 2nd "swimming" cave), you show where people should start their researches for the hidden fish cave entrance.

Thanks for the chocolate, Dulcamara, they are certainly appreciated

Ainia, your video is awesome and shows wonderfully that one can explore Elodea completely free, without any barriers and on every level, which is absolutely great and sheer fun ...

I've explored some more and sorted out some of my pictures (just some new stuff) ... This is all so wonderful ... Awesome job and thanks again, Dulcamara ...

Edit: I was just reminded that I didn't mention the great ambient and nature sounds as well as the wonderful soothing myst-ical music pieces that are with you all through the age ... I don't remember if those are the same as before, but they make the journey even more delightful ...

Enjoy Show Spoiler
