The Wolf enemies in HertenHeld were intended to be the most prominent ones. I had ideas to make them very smart and require combat skills to beat

In practise they ended up been so aggressive that you're better off avoiding them, I guess that's another way to make them notable

I like this hub area I made, it's the first save point you visit, and it's located at a pretty central spot.

Whenever you come back here, you're stronger than you were before, and from here, you also access a new path you couldn't reach earlier.

When you reach an item room, I like it that you get stuck in that room until you figured out how to use the item and found at least one use-case out of them.

More #HertenHeld fun facts

Similair how Metroid does the "Go Left first" trope, I tried doing something similar on my own way.

The game starts out linear, but after the bridge, you reach a dead end. Once you try falling through the bridge, the game opens up with more paths to explore.

Fall is probably my favorite season, as I love watching the leaves falling from the trees.

The falling leaves effect in HertenHeld were also inspired by observing the falling leaves on a walk to home.
