Landmarks: the market, Energy and Water

Small objects for the places a player collects Energy and Water, and for the market, with a larger pin of its own for the market, set into the game's map at two zoom levels and switchable. A second page gives the chosen ones their effects (a glowing orb, a spring that runs dry, a pavilion lantern), by day and at night.

The Orb post, the Spring, the Pavilion and the Emblem pin went into the game.

Edited for the Dev Log
  • Removed the links between studies; the tabs replace them.
  • Reworded the introductions, which were written as notes to a reviewer, and removed references to who chose what.
  • The sample name on the shop-sign pin is a placeholder (“Test area, Market”).
