Entry Twenty

Dear Diary,

I finished the flower hunt room. It feels a bit bittersweet. Since it reminds me a lot of Lee, it was almost like creating a memorial to him while I was working on it. Now that it is finished, I can't dwell on it anymore. I have other things I need to work on, particularly the new boss room.

While I have the ability to create a 64 meter by 64 meter room, since I'm limited to 50MP, until I unlock more floors, I can't actually afford to create such a large room outright. I ended up having to do some experimentation and found that I can create two smaller rooms and then combine them. It costs more resources to do it that way then building the room outright would be, but I hardly wanted my boss room to be as small as all the other rooms in my dungeon.

I remember the feeling of wandering through corn mazes for Halloween events. They always felt so massive and it seemed like I'd stay lost for hours. My dad really liked watching horror movies and celebrating Halloween, so I always joined him. It was nice to have some father-daughter time with him. The hedge maze isn't entirely inspired by that, but I definitely understand the importance of making a maze large enough to be effective. Considering most rooms are small enough to be comparable to those found in houses, they would hardly be sufficient here.

The group mapping my dungeon visited again today. They brought pancakes with maple syrup as a tribute. I didn't get to eat them, but my system menu gives me a record of things that happen in the dungeon so I can keep track. It doesn't tell me who is visiting the dungeon, though. I am mostly just making educated guesses in regards to that.

I can sort of feel the energy of those in my dungeon. Since the energy signatures range from weak to somewhat strong and there are four, it's easy to match it up with the group I previously met. It isn't like I have that many different visitors to my dungeon right now. I'm sure things will get more difficult later on.

It's been nice getting so many new resources for the dungeon. It even allowed me to afford researching a new weather effect I can use in my dungeon. Since I previously unlocked air magic for use in my research, I decided to use a windy weather option in the flower hunt room. Combined with some dandelions at seed, it creates a pretty magical effect as the white puffs float through the air. It just seemed right to do something special for such a meaningful room.

Oh! I think David just arrived to the dungeon. That means I have to go work on my swordsmanship training now. He's supposed to be bringing me a large number of items today as well. I gave him some extra sweets in exchange for his help obtaining more resources for improving the dungeon. Well, I shouldn't leave him waiting too long.
