I do like the improvements to the sword. Looks a bit more crisp and such. Good looking work as normal Cukeman!

Hey people . I just wanted to post to say that I am getting back into my quest.
I feel like it's been about a month that I couldn't get to work. But now I am back
in the swing of things, restarting seemed insurmountable, but I have moved my
palettes, prepared DMaps for working continue points, and learned still more
about ZQuest. Just happy to be back

[Jared]

Do you have any screens made at all? I'm glad you're getting back into the swing of things.

[Cukeman]

Progress is going great! I don't have any new screens to show, because I have been
setting up my active subscreen, planning out all the items in my quest, and what
order Link will get them, and making lots of customized and/or scripted items,
and getting them to work. I've also been working on story and dungeon ideas.

I recently finished adding a cutscene to this game (my first ever)

So yeah, I could show you my subscreen with all the items on it, but that
would be major spoilers, so now that I am getting my last item or two
to work properly, I'm gonna finish recreating my overworld area and get
that demo released. It will be basically like the last demo (which was only
seen by beta-testers), except that it will showcase the new cutscene and
has been rebuilt to work better "behind the scenes."

But you can look forward to unique items, or at least familiar items with
a unique twist, a cutscene, and hopefully soon I can post some screens
of my new dungeon which has all new graphics.

So I have finished making The Abyss in my brand new quest file, and to celebrate
I'll let you take a look at the new dungeon entrance:



I honestly like both versions. Anyways, next step is to rebuild Subterra and then I can start on
my dungeon

[Lightwulf]

Yeah, but the new one looks so awesome! Especially how you customized the flames in the eyes. Sweeeet!

I can see the graphics overhaul you did on the rest of the tiles. Nice job!

[Jared]

Looks so much better, Cukeman! Looking forward it it much more. Now, maybe change Link up a bit more?

Oh wow the tiles for the skull on the right looks amazing! Good job on them .
and nice to see this still being worked on, can't wait to see more!.

[aaa2]

with the new tiles definately a quest i wanna see finished and that i will play ;-)

[Cukeman]

Wow, thanks everyone!

And Jared, Link is done as is. I think you'd understand if you took a look at the NES palette I'm using.

[Cukeman]

Okay I have recreated everything in my new quest file except for the dungeon.
I will send out the beta shortly.

Edit: Betas sent.

Yes! I discovered a quest rule that prevents the second on-screen item from disappearing when
you pick up the first item

Uh... I'm about 1/3 done with the area between dungeon 1 and dungeon 2. Slow going.

[Mero]

Awesome. If you need any help with it. Let me know.

[Shane]

"second on-screen item"? Do you mean 2.5 now allow multiple items?

Take your time Cukeman, slow production is better then having a rushed product!
