Oh, interesting. Your terrain is pretty high...but it seems like it should keep getting higher... Especially since there's not much mountain texture on the tips... Maybe as you keep playing, the slopes will keep getting steeper, even if the height won't change much and you'll see more mountains then...

Yeah, it would make a lot of sense, right?
Ha. I play Aqua Garden and Lost Park the most, because they're my favorite worlds and I want my dream to reflect those levels the most! I love tropical and desert landscapes... They're my favorite!😍
But I also really like Memory Forest, Pure Valley, and even the city is cool. The worlds in Journey of Dreams are amazing and some of my favorite worlds in any game. The only one I'm not really into is Crystal Palace. Not only do I dislike autumn for the most part(though it's certainly much better than winter! Ha.), but I also don't like the texture of the crystals. If they looked like they did in the cutscenes, the world would look much better, but would still be my least favorite.
Alright, good night and good luck! Heh.

Hmmm... Can I see how your mountains look now, now that you think they're peaked?
The manual might not say so, but I still think level performance affects it to an extent. Yes, it is pian's flight that directly affect the terrain, but they don't have an effect unless levels are played. I was always under the impression it's a combination of performance and pian's flight that affect the terrain, but hey, I never tested to see what changes might occur if I purposely got bad ranks in the levels, so maybe it only matters that levels are played and not how you perform in them... The levels you play most often affect the appearance of the terrain, though. For example, your terrain where there's slopes can look white and sandy from Aqua Garden, or reddish, canyon-like from Lost Park, instead of grey and stony like a regular mountain.
If your hills really aren't growing more...the only thing I can think of is either you need a pian with even HIGHER flying skill, or, I have another idea... Maybe the stamp isn't asking for especially high slopes, but that your Dream is more than 50% of sloped terrain. Meaning, instead of mostly being grass or whatever, the mountains have taken over and over half of the dream has the texture of the mountains. This terrain shows in both positive slopes and negative slopes, by the way, so pians with poor and good flying would both be useful. Could be a possibility...

Yeah, I think Memory Forest is another level that lacks blue orb chests in the walk portion of the chase mission, if I'm not mistaken...
Aside from more blue orbs, I wish we had more TIME to walk around, too! Come to think of it, I remember my hills sculpting in an unpredictable manner as well... They would get so tall and start to look really cool, and then it would totally shift and completely change in some parts...but since hills were never my priority, I didn't pay it much mind. I wonder if this happens, because the nightopians responsible for the terrain growths in a particular area stray too far from it... Oh, by the way, when I play levels to change my terrain, I usually pick a dream door to play every stage(from Chase to Final Boss) and then play Octopaw last for the blue chips. I think doing it that way makes the changes more drastic... Sometimes I'll even do it more than once or with all of the dream doors before returning to My Dream.
In my opinion, I think it makes more sense for the terrain to be dependent on how often/how good we perform on the levels...which is how it works to an extent, but could certainly be better implemented. Again, the game was rushed, so it's very likely they couldn't implement all of the mechanics they wanted to to make the dream and the levels have a better connection with each other...
I was excited about Balan Wonderworld, because even though it looked flawed from the beginning, I was really hoping the Tims would at least be really fleshed out and very much like My Dream with some improvements, but look how much of a disaster that was... Ha. It didn't even come close to JoD, even in the "My Dream equivalent" department...

I got a 2x in the Cerberus boss(1st version)! By switching to the rocket and blasting to the chain as fast as you can without getting hit and again right when they come back up. It's tricky, but it's possible. Now Girania, I can not in ANY way get the 2x multiplier as well... Ha.

Yeah, I'll try to play later on today. Unfortunately, I can't provide the best quality photos, because I have no way of streaming my gameplay... Heh. But it will suffice, I suppose... I've missed playing NiGHTS and tending to my pians, but I was waiting for someone like you to solve some of the mysteries surrounding them before I played again! Heh.

Oh, so you do have a king, OK... I just checked out your last Twitch stream and skipped through to all of the dream parts... The hills look to be be growing nicely! I've had hills quite steeper than that, so I imagine they'll have to be twice as big as the ones in your dream...or probably even higher! Heh. I'll have to boot up my game(haven't played in a couple of years now...) to tell you just how many hours I spent in it... Heh. And maybe take some pictures... I've played through the levels so many times and made so many mepians in them, that they show up in the levels while I'm still playing as the kids! That's my second favorite thing to do in the game, make cool mepians that appear in the levels that I can interact with while still walking, as opposed to only seeing them once I dualize with NiGHTS. In Lost Park, I even have some that ride on magic carpets, and I have a clip of me riding on one in the desert! I was trying to see if I can get them to make me go high enough to touch the scenery-changing monitor, so that I'd be able to see the lush version of Lost Park while walking around... Heh. (Side note: for whatever reason, full-fledged scorpion mepians lose the ability to ride magic carpets when they're made from a pian being hit with a Nightmaren, but theoretically, you should be able to breed that trait onto them from a mepian that can. The scorpion mepian is the only mepian that loses a unique trait the more nightmaren they are...) I'm also curious to know if it's possible to make a King Pian in the levels as opposed to just in My Dream... One thing I noticed is that unlike every other stage, there's no chest of blue orbs you can find as children in the Aqua Garden and Crystal Palace stage, so blue orbs are scarce to feed all of my pian friends in those levels...
That really bothers me with the Aqua Garden stage, because that's my favorite world... Ha.
