All Igavania games had some sort of progression method. You have a big place to explore, but that exploration is blocked by obstacles that you can only surpsass with specific itens/relics/powers/abilities. You need to jump higher to reach higher places. You need keys to unlock doors. You need to transform into a mist to go through gates and such.
Igavania games had different aproach on that. What i want to know is what kind of progression itens you prefer, AND ALSO, ideas on progression obstacles. First, let's remember what most games had:
Relics You get magical itens that give you special abilities. Those magical itens doesn't need to be equipped and just give you that ability, that you can turn ON or OFF. A necklace that let you double jump, a lizard tail that let you slide or a magic symbol that makes a character appear on a specific place, giving you a way to go there.
Specific Abilities, tied to Miriam's powers on a contextual sense Inside your powers, there is a specific set, destined to be the progression abilities. In Aria/Dawn of Sorrow, for instance, the hero could farm souls of the monsters and use them as powers. And then, there was a specific type of soul (ability Soul) that had double jump, higher jumps, ability to swim and such. Other abilities, on other set, could also lend to that, like an attack magic that can be used to break a wall.
Itens. Keys to unlock doors. Use itens to blow up walls. Specific equipment (glasses to see at dark places, boots to walk on spiked floors).
Switches. A switch on a room that unlocks a door on another room, at another place. A boss that, when killed, colapses and breaks several rooms, revealing another area.
So, what do you prefer? Focus on only one type of progression? Mixed up several of then? And what kind of progression abilities you think Bloodstained need?
