Crystalline Cove Design Help

heyo

Don’t worry, this is actually simple this time, trust
I just need suggestions for other details to add the my map design!


So, basically, the game’s about a crystal mining operation going on inside of a beach cove. You’re one of the workers, and to get your paycheck, you hafta mine. You give the mined crystals to your boss, get your pay, and upgrade your tools/chances of finding better crystals. Pretty simple, except for the fact that I’m making the darn ground so detailed the barriers are gonna take up 50% of my memory–


Anyways, I mostly need suggestions on how to spruce up the outside, on the boardwalk (where the shops/boss are gonna be) and how I should make the cove’s inside. I want some of the rigging you see on walls where they’re building something, kinda like this:

Not the best picture, oof
I have a good idea of how to build it, but I need ideas for how I should arrange the structures inside the cave thingie.


Here’s what I have so far:


saaaand


coveee (no idea how to make the water in front of it lolz)


fuuurbyyyy


boooardwaaaalkk


(Wait, how did that furby get in here?..)


Thanks in advance, and happy holidays!

The inside of the cove needs to be 25 percent-ish darker, the furby needs more eyes, and if you want, add pebbles in the ground.
Wait how did the furby become a suggestion

CRYSTALine cave


You also need creatures to make the cave feel alive,
so add the bearded reedling.



It’s 2 angled barriers covered on the top with a square one.

Add ethereal plants. I think it would make sense somewhere.
Make the colors range from light/soft pink to light/soft purple to light/soft blue.



I used these in a topic from 5-6 months ago for @CommanderGoat. He’s probably forgoten about one of these pictures. Yeah, I’m being lazy and not making something new, cause I think this works.
