The additional travel point and a fix for the world map treasure counter (and potentially other areas) is in the v1.03b update that went live just now, as well as the things you've brought to my attention since v1.03. Thanks for the bug reports!
I am happy to report that everything seems to be working in v1.03b. It is a bit of a shame that the music is AI-generated as I think they are quite pleasant to listen to, but given that you are essentially making a free game, it is what it is.
Still, there are tons of free music on itch.io. Joel Steudler has a free sample: https://joelsteudler.itch.io/. Tallbeard Studios only releases free music: https://tallbeard.itch.io/. Outside of itch.io, Open Game Art has free music for use as well: https://opengameart.org/.
Separately, should I give you the number of treasures I found and the counter number left by map (including 0s) so you can check for false positive or negative on the treasure counter?

opengameart has quite an extensive library, pretty impressive. I'll look through it for suitable music for future projects, thanks! I'm making music for fun using Fruityloops and soundfonts sometimes, but my tracks still aren't where I want them to be. Maybe some day. I'm more of a 2d/3d artist and coder at the moment.
I'd be interested in your treasure collection stats. I can check through them if you share them.
Toying with the idea of making little dots appear on the mini map if a treasure is close. What would you think about a feature like that?
I wish you the best on your music journey! I wish I would be half as skilled as you are at art and coding.
The dots on the mini map would be very useful. I have trouble spotting the treasure sometimes, even when I am literally within centimetres of them, but I mostly blame my bad eyesight.
As for my treasure stats, here they are:

Thanks! You cleared a lot of areas. I'll compare the numbers when I'm home from work.

The numbers look good so far for those areas where your counter is at zero.
About the areas where it isn't 0:
Steep Cliffs has 15 all in all, so that should be fine.
Yuath Desert has 11 treasures in the soulstream area, so you've got all of those. The remaining two are in the normal desert. It's a big area to search, though.
The World Map likely is probably the hardest place to find all treasures in. The sparkles are much smaller because of the zoom level. The numbers look correct now, though. The Underworld area has 8 treasures, and topside 22.
thanks for clarifying the numbers! I was worried about the permanently missables, like the 1st map, the soulstream, and also that 1 treasure in Stahlheim.
Just a couple of questions, if you don't mind:
- On Steep Cliffs, I found 1 treasure before the cave, 4 in the cave interior, and 9 on the upper ledge. I really cannot find the last treasure after coming through the area multiple times. May I know if the last one is just before the cave or in the cave interior somewhere? Just a general idea so I know where to look.
- Similar question on Yuath Desert, I found 7 in the northern part of the desert and 2 in the southern part, other than the 11 in the soulstream area (meaning 0 within the trenches). May I know which part of the desert the remaining 2 are?
I think we can pinpoint these a bit.
Steep Cliffs: I'm counting 5 treasures in the cave, so it should be in there. One is in a rock that moves down when jumping on it on the eastern side, near the ramp leading to the water.
Yuath Desert: I'm counting 3 in the southern area, and 8 in the northen area. I'm counting 0 in the trench area.
Thank you! I was updating my table (EDIT3) when you posted, so our messages crossed, but with your info, I was able to find the last few treasures I could not by myself. Thank you! If you don't mind, once I finish up checking all the info, I will post a general guide as a new forum topic. Thanks again!
