ZC Version: 2.5 Release Candidate 3.
Change Log:

Note that anything with NEW! labeled at the end is 1-7 days old, so you can keep track weekly on the latest stuff. We will also use the "NEW!" feature when we add new content to this post.

• Building the tileset, around 10% roughly done. Every screen you see here currently presented is mainly concept.
• Jared and Sepulcher joined the team!
• Restarted tileset in a new .qst that will be more organized.
• Got 90% of the main quest palette done, now to add a few more misc colours.
• Decided to redo the prologue to make it more smaller but still in-depth.
• Planning to redo the text "Legacy of Light", mainly due to the size.
• Planning to add Cukeman's "MC Styled Passive Subscreen".
• ^ Now planning to redesign/rearrange stuff to make it more unique.
• Haven't worked on the subscreen, we got all the resources for our intro thanks to Cukeman expect an update about the intro on the 25th of May!
• ^ Yeeeeah we didn't have enough content to show so we postponed the update.

Concept:

After my gazillion quest failed to be completed. I determined I wanted something new, something fresh and original. I decided to make a GB-styled quest but with array set of unique tiles. But it didn't look at that great, I needed something more creative. Then I visualized a modified ALttP tileset and went on from there. Then came ideas for story, overworld areas and even dungeons. Everything came together perfectly and it's defiantly something I wanted to portray. I originally planned the size to be eight dungeons, but after a while I knew it would be more suitable if I only had a few, less then eight to be precise. But then I had the idea of making this quest almost the same size as Majora's Mask, five dungeons plus one final. The story is pretty basic but at the end of the day, there is going to be a twist that will affect your overall view of the story before the twist happened. That's when Guardian and Sepulcher then joined as they were wanting and willing to help design with me. From there we will soon plan areas in-depth and the like as we start to develop this quest. We have a team goal for this quest: to make it fun, as this is what we believe makes a true Zelda. We'll be sure to put our most best efforts into this quest, we hope you'll enjoy this quest as we develop it.

Prologue:

Thanks for your support! Letting you (and the other beta testers, if they are reading this post) know a beta will be out soon.

I'll start actually developing the game when I get all the necessary tiles finished and misc stuff done. Additional stuff will be added during development. Also note I got two other projects to contribute and got a lot of school work to do, so progress may change paces here and there.

EDIT: If it's okay with you Sepulcher and Zepinho I'll go ahead and pin this up along with the rest of the projects, if otherwise feel free to unpin this.

Wow this looks great. I hope I get to play the beta. Will you be releasing it to the public?

OMG.... no more 666 post count.

I won't be doing it publicly, unfortunately. But hey, do you wanna sign up for the beta testing? One more tester wouldn't hurt.

EDIT: For the record, I have 10 (possibly King Harkinian is joining the beta team) beta testers, I'm sure that's plenty enough, so I won't be taking anymore requests, sorry.

I'd be happy to beta test. I'd like playing through it and look for bugs, because that means you get do random stuff to see what happens.

Thanks for your support guys. I'm working on the subscreen for now, then I'll go back to adding more overworld tiles, then add Link, and his items (that you'll get early in the game).

EDIT: Forgot to mention, Dragonite has been added. THIS time there will be no more requests.
