Here we go, not so far but...
Here the version 1.1 of "Road to the Gobbusk".
The list isn't too big:
+ Checkpoints
+ New rooms
* Design of level "The Rift" is changed

So far? Really great puzzles and very beautiful levels. I'm at Quewort's Cave right now and stuck at 2N1E.

I dig this hold a lot. Do you have it finished and just uploaded only a part of it, or is it still work in progress?

Also folks, give this hold a try!

Yeah, it's still work in progress, also I'm working on the map :). I guess, you all know feeling you can't come up with a good puzzle. It makes me very annoying... So my advise is to stop making the puzzle and begin working on design or plot. It really helps!

Did anyone play this hold yet? I'm working on design but later I'll be working on puzzles. You know I'm so bad at puzzles :(.

V enjoyable so far.
Puzzles are pretty smart.

I suggest releasing versions without music so we don't have to download big files every time, and releasing anyone edit versions.

My thoughts after playing through the first puzzle level:

The custom music is really beautiful. Did you make it? While I can see Jacob's point, I'd prefer that you keep it in during testing so I can absorb the atmosphere as it's meant to be.

The text needs a little editing -- I'm happy to volunteer for this, but only at the end, as I don't know whether the current dialogue will change as you develop the hold.

Room layouts are beautiful and atmospheric; I feel like I'm exploring an actual world.

The Rift is a good starter level, nice puzzles with minimalistic elements and clever solutions. I particularly liked 2S1E and 3S2E.

2S feels like an on-off pressure plate tutorial room, but it's possible to reach the one-off PP puzzles before seeing 2S.

In 3S1E, the NE roach seems to be unconnected to the rest of the puzzle, so I'm not sure why it's there.

Thanks a lot for your support :). It's hard to me to come up with the plot cause my English isn't so well, you know. But the plot will be very complicated. I think I would like to create siquel ;).

It is more than just a room, I must say...

I don't know how you solved that, but I think it's impossible to conquer this room without that roach you're talking about :D.
Could you upload the demo of this room?

Here is my demo and I didn't need the bottom roach either.

Edit: Demo removed and attached two posts below.

A message said:"One or more demos are being imported belong to a hold, level or room you don't have and were ignored".
It is caused of my new version, I guess :).

Okay, demo for the new version here :).

Nuntar just made me realize he was talking about NE roach. I didn't need it either, for anything other than just walking into her chamber and chopping her.

That's so... Well, I need to change the room a little bit, so NE roach will be necessary to conquer it :D.
Edit: Done!

Oh, it's so hard to come up with an easy but interesting puzzle room with certain element. That's why my hold dusts. :unsure

Your hold is great so far and you clearly are capable of coming up with good puzzles. Keep up the good work!

So, after a lot of time I was only able to build tiny part of "Quewort's cave" level. And I decided to post it here :D.
