Outdated - This boss has been updated
Greetings folks, as with the announcement of the Zelda Classic Expo: Fall 2015, I have plans to submit a short demo to the expo to showcase the first area of the quest, Agnis Jungle, and a few parts of adjacent areas to receive feedback.
Without a further ado, here's what to expect in the demo:
- Agnis Jungle, as well as small parts of adjacent areas.
- The first three weapons you get in the quest; Sword, Bow and Bombs.
- Ammo expansions for the latter two weapons.
- One treasure, which is randomized.
- The first boss (Mangling Magnolia, which is pictured).
- Overall 10-20 minutes of gameplay.
- And more!
While there is plans for an expo demo, there is no guarantee about with how sporadic about how I work. However, I wish to make an effort in achieving this goal given that the quest is now in a reasonably playable state. By the way, for those crafty people who hack quests, content from later on in the quest that I have not unveiled yet is cut from the demo so don't try to hack to get spoilers. There is also going to be a very nasty surprise waiting for people who attempt to use cheats without my permission...
I have plans on opening up a two-week window for two people to beta-test this demo. In order to apply to become a beta-tester, you must PM me with your application which includes why you want to beta-test. Remember, beta-testing is NOT a glorified early-access program and it is imperative that you make every effort you can to break the quest given what a standard player is given. If you do an admirable job in reporting bugs, then I will consider you for testing the quest later on when the full product is ready.

That said, in the wake of this expo announcement, I would like to make a couple of announcements that may disappoint you all. Please bear with me.
The full shutter system I mentioned in the first update is likely to not be in the demo, reason being is that it was causing me pain when I tried to mess with shutters and I haven't been bothered to fix that. In the mean time, I will be using Mero's Freeform Shutter script until I fix the issues I was having. This fix will be low-priority.
The same thing goes with the item drop system I have posted in the scripting forum. Again, this fix will be low-priority.
Edit: Pure broke my post, now fixed
