Grappling hook level: Redesign start and end scenes

[manuq]

So the magical thread is not occluded by the dialogue. And to give it
more narrative sense:

• From the Void runner level, there is an ellipsis.

• The StoryWeaver is about to grab a magical thread and be teleported.

• But the Void ruins their plans. Has to take an alternative path.

• At the end of the level, the StoryWeaver comes from the other
  direction.

Also add a dialogue at the start of the Void + grappling level.

Helps #1410

Is this pin-in-the-void intentional?

[wjt]

That's in the start level. Here's the "same" thing in the "end" level:

.oO( can we make these actually be the same scene, by storing some state in GameState? one for another day perhaps )

So I think you meant to move that pin up a little? Or is the enemy eating one tile too many perhaps?

@wjt thanks for spotting the difference! That island was 1 row taller. It is indeed hard to keep these 2 scenes in sync. The "only" game state needed would be the grappling hook "has more string" and I had that in my prototype. But I think we agreed to leave that out for now to avoid adding more state.

@wjt I think after this the remaining narrative is the outro. I will add a separate scene for it, like in the first lore quest, all cinematic. It will show the town and people from the town celebrating and thanking the StoryWeaver.

I love the story added in the levels after the first one — the new dialogues really give meaning to the lore being built. The cinematic that interrupts the second level is fantastic! I haven’t found many issues, but I did notice that if you go from Level 2 - Scene 2 back to Level 2 - Scene 1, the cinematic plays again.

Thanks for testing it!

Yes, I noticed it too, I'm thinking how to fix it. Thanks!

I merged with main which had the updated tilesets, picked the scenes from this PR and then ran the amazing update_tilesets.gd script again. Then committed it. Since the commit splits is not good and I won't redo the work, I'll use squash & merge in this case.
