Let's Play DROD: The Descent of King Hesper [Part 1]

[@megashedinja9700]

I'm so glad to see Entry Point finally being done. I playtested a little bit very very early in the process, but life got in the way. Congratulations guys!

Hey, thanks for doing this, looking forward to seeing how it progresses! It was really great to see the way you paid attention to what was being taught to new players in each room; that's something we took a lot of care over. Indeed, this is set between KDD and JtRH, because we wanted to make sure anyone starting with this would be able to go on to the main holds without spoiling the story.

I shall do my best to continue to do so but I'm sure the rust will catch up with me and I'll be like "I'm not learning anything because I'm an idiot." very soon.

Ruined Entryway 3E is my earliest room in the hold, though far from the first one I made. Basically, I wanted to do a room with only elements introduced in Silent Woods, and this was what I came up with. It's a bit on the silly side, but fitting for an early secret. My other main contribution in this video is the left side of Winding Passage 2N2E. I thought the level was good overall, but it had a tendency towards one-and-done on introducing things. So I made a more elaborate pressure plate puzzle combining all three types. I also suggested the red door in 2N3E; it was originally two pressure plates where the trapdoors were, but this reinforced the lesson on the red door and I think it made the room a little bit more memorable.

Hey 3E was a good secret. And WP: 2N2E definitely did its job. Pressure plates are kind of instinct that's good to establish early.
