Today I created a lot of new creatures to add to the maze. All of them were bigger than the previous batch and most of them were carnivores or omnivores. Though there were a couple large mushroom eaters.

My biggest discovery was how exactly to make fish. Previously the water that covers the floor of the maze was mostly uninhabited except for the few water-loving plants that I could get to grow there. Now they are teeming with as many types of fish as I could think up, though that will inevitably drop significantly over the next couple days.

Looking at my work from the last couple days I’m proud, but at the same time, I’m disappointed by the lack of trees. The next area I will work on will definitely have trees, but how am I going to pull that off?

Actually, now that I think about it couldn’t I buy something from the market to help out there. Like maybe a plant that produces sunlight, or a type of tree that doesn’t need sunlight. I feel like if the option is there I should go with a plant that produces sunlight, even if it is more expensive. It would allow me to have a lot more variability in what I can create.

Might as well check now to see if I can find something. Yup, it exists, but it is super expensive. A plant that produces the type of sunlight that allows other plants to grow will cost about a fifth of the money I have, but I think it’s worth it.

I think the next step is to get the ecosystem of the first room full fleshed out, which I think I can do with a couple more days. Then I can work on building up the next room, which I am getting more excited for.
