Still working on my dungeon walls. Still not going well. At least I finally gave up on my easy gb design, its frustrating.

Dude's been pretty busy lately.

Dude's been pretty busy lately.

 

Having a week off from work sick gave me plenty of time to do ZC stuff. And I took a two-day vacation last week, to do more ZC stuff and enjoy not working (and to go on a couple of out-of-town excursions, because I could).

 

I'm back to the daily drudge at the moment, which includes tracking down various previously unreported bugs in my scripts and such. Today's been mostly catch-up, with only about 10 minutes of actually scripting anything.

Made two fairly large cutscenes.

Started working on my quest again, after a few months. I started off with designing my sixth dungeon, a swamp palace that has no final name yet:

Seeing how this quest is a remake and all, this is an easy improvement over the lazy design I initially had in the original quest, where I just filled most of the rooms with flat water and some hookshot grabs.

Has a great feel, thumbs way up!

[Shane]

Finished a quest.

That's gotta be the most casual quest completion announcement I've ever seen.

Started playing Rite of the Storm. I did know it must be a great quest the moment I saw Avataro's Name. And beside Shanes awesome spritings skills I forgot he also was a great writer. Still have problems to get that Shane and Polaris are the same Person. I am totally afraid of Polaris after all.

I did need a bit to figure out how to save. Never played a quest with save-spots. And there is a spot where "endurance is rewarded" or something similar said and I attacked the foe forever thinking it just has hilariously high hp. Seems that is not the solution

Just finished making the sprites for an optional boss battle.

I worked on a few screens.

Very interesting layout. I don't often see rock borders that are 1 tile wide - mostly they're huge chunks. Looks good to me though.

 

Also, I notice you have very small divisions between the rocks at the top middle, but other places like the bottom right are all clustered together like normal. Any reason for doing that?

[Matthew]

Well, I generally don't like having huge chunks of mountain like you would in the top middle so there are divisions to prevent the player from seeing just a big blob of rock. With the bottom right, I kept it all together because I figured it looked like a more cohesive whole, especially with it all being in one screen. The whole area is from a part of Link's Awakening.

Sprited a dress for Zelda in Firebird. Still need to do her hair. So far I have Link in her dress

Played more RotS, you really got me there with the glass-blocks. With only two lines of whirlwinds you can just negate the first one with sand and run past the second line though. While I haven't played too many scripted quests yet, I never have seen scripts working so perfectly before.

[Shane]

Working on updating Rite of the Storm for the database which might come out on the 6th next month. Also did some planning for another quest.
