Level title: My last world
The idea: A platformer level delving deep into the creator’s mind, focusing on his deepest desires, emotions, and ideas, including parts from the creators life both online and offline. A section of the level also goes into the creator’s fears and also their grief.
This level takes place as a platformer with an upgrade tree system that allows you to progress through different stages by buying upgrades with points that make point production faster. Upon obtaining enough points, the player is prompted to purchase an upgrade that resets their points but transports them into the next area. The different areas all have different currency and special ways of earning them.
Area 1: genesis
Currency: conciousness
The player wakes up in a cloudy “voidscape” and is greeted by the creator and slowly upgrades themselves while the creator slowly teaches the player the setting and mechanics of the level. Points are obtained only passively in this stage. To clear this area, an upgrade worth 1 million conciousness must be purchased to ascend into the next area.
Area 2: dreamscapes
Currency: lucidity
The player enters the creator’s dreamscape, filled with clouds and a warm sunset. This is where the creators mind is displayed and the creator tells the player about how his brain works and processes things. This area sets the player up for processing later content. To earn points here (lucidity in this case), they must collect orbs that lower the player’s gravity, allowing collection of higher orbs while also obtaining lucidity. This is also required for the access to purchase upgrades to increase passive lucidity income. To clear this area, the player must jump to the very top of the dreamscape’s clouds and by purchasing an upgrade that costs 1 million lucidity, then perform one final jump which leads upward into the next area.
