If cold autumn winds are making you wish you could rewind time and go back to the warm embrace of summer, then our Temple of Seasons™ might be just the thing you’re looking for! Simply whack the supplied Summer Orb and watch the landscape transform around you:
It’s animated! Click it!
We had a long back and forth discussion regarding how the seasons would work in the temple, mostly related to whether the Season Orbs would change the season of the entire temple, or just the current room. In the end, we went with having the orbs control the season of their own room!
Both variants could lead to some interesting progression mechanics, but we went with this variant mostly since it would put a slightly less massive workload on poor Vilya and Fred, while also being a bit easier to create puzzle modules for.
For similar reasons, we opted to have separate orbs that summon their corresponding season, rather than one orb that cycled between them, as in A Link to the Past.
Having the entire dungeon sketched out, we feel it has a ton of potential to be really cool when it’s all done!

Thats some oracle of Seasons stuff right there ;D
I was looking at the image for five minutes! It hypnotized me. That temple seems to contain some interesting stuff. Wanna collect it!
You guys are freakin awesome. Just saying.
Yep, like I’ve said before, this is like Click Clock Wood from Banjo Kazooie but more dynamic. Sounds great, I can’t wait!
I’d like to suggest a room where you must go through multiple seasons, maybe a hub room where to go to different parts you need it to be a different season.
