A Look Into the New Overworld

After a lot of thinking and re-thinking, I have finally finished the over-arching level design of the overworld map (the map that will connect to all of the thirteen different levels)!

This map is much smaller than the open world map I had been working on before. With Juda's landboard ability, it would probably take about a minute and a half to two minutes to traverse from one side of the map to the other. This means I will be able to jam-pack the map with lots of cool enemies, creatures, secrets, and beautiful moments without it feeling too open.

Above is a map where the level entrances will be. Notice that the first five levels are fairly compact and after that the world opens up a lot. This is due to the fact that Juda will get his landboard ability after completing level 5, so it will be much easier and faster (and fun) to traverse larger sections of the map after level 5.
