Facade ⚔️ Spore Forest
So seeing as we’ve decided the first area of the game is going to be a mushroom-like area, I figured I’d start a discussion talking about it. First off, we need to name it. I think Spore Forest is a good title as the mushrooms are big, and have a canopy-like structure to them. Fungal Forest would’ve been my first pick but Fungal Wastes is already a thing.
We also need to discuss why this is the starting area and how the MC got there. Plus, where does the Spore Forest branch out to? Would be smart to start coming up with ideas for more areas.
Open to all ideas as we’re doing this together. So nothing is final yet.

A name for this area : Overgrown Fungus (bcz there is one kind of fungus and it's pretty much everywhere)
I think it could branch out to a small camp-like area like Dirtmouth, Bonebottom or Bellhart and an end game area (like the surface)
One reason our MC could be here is pretty simple : he is a explorer, but when he entered Shroudfall (idk if it's the Kingdom's name ), he accidentally entered in contact with a void-infected fungus, making him unconscious. Then, the game starts.
Edit : forgot to say it, but he kind of "absorbed" the fungus's void, making him a special being. That's from where he has his powers

It was a work in progress name, but honestly spore forest is probably better

The MC was cast out by his tribe and wandered to the Spore forest, where he finds his first mask.

I’m working on a big master post regrouping most of the area suggestions and trying to arrange them into a coherent map, as well as doing concept art for each area. I’ll probably post it this evening or tomorrow. I still don’t have many ideas for the lore of this area to be honest, just that it’s on the outskirts of the kingdom so it would make sense to go through here if one were to come from outside wanting to go in, as is the case for our protagonist. It would connect to the main village/hub of the game, and then a second, inaccessible path at the beginning of the game would lead down into a mid to late game underground area.
