Just finished rescripting wind. It was a simple script and it doesn't work the same as normal wind, but it'll get what I need done. :3 That and I touched up the boss script I was working on. It's nearly done - I just need to add some sounds and add a little extra to one of the attacks. But in all, fairly decent progress.

Kurt - Sounds really nifty!

I'm trying to decide, should I keep the three healing items at 1, 3, and 5 hearts, or should I change them to something like 1/10 Link's max HP, 1/3 Link's max HP, and 1/2 Link's max HP? If I choose the former, then they'll slowly fade away in usefulness, but by then, the player will be used to the new ways the game works. If I go with the latter, they'll be useful throughout the entire game, but I'm not sure if they'd still be balanced as well as I'd hope. Which do you guys prefer?

 

I think that it's good either way. But it definetly would be more useful if they fill up a percentage of links max hp.

 

Today, I worked on my recently started zelda quest again! Scripted a few things and made some items and decisions for the game. I made the passive subscreen and apparently theres no space for bomb and arrow counters, so I decided to not use arrows in my game and bombs will be one of the magic spell items, using magic instead of bomb counter. Made my own shop script and made a few shops in the village. I am thinking about how to travel between islands now.. I need to import ship tiles, but ships are so big and it's tedious to import the tiles.

You can always use magic for your arrows and bombs. It's canon now (see A Link Between Worlds).

Yesterday, I decided to draft out the Humolga Overwold in Veran's Awakening, the main place where it takes place.

For those who don't know, Humolga was the region I created for my Gale of Darkness miniquest as part of Strato's Dungeon Midi contest he held in 2011, which I pretty much won by default as mine was the only entry that was submitted. That miniquest focused on the Canyon area of it, Veran's Awakening will expand on it being a sequel to it.

I thought someone also entered a sideview dungeon too.....

[Orithan]

Beefster and Nightmeres did finish their dungeons, but they never ended up submitting theirs.

I have done.... Absolutely nothing. Now that all of my scripts are working, all I have left (before releasing my next demo) is adding messages to my items, and.... I'm completely unmotivated to finish XP

[coolgamer012345]

have the reviews for the demo been good?

[Binx]

I haven't released a demo since May, and the reviews back then were... less than favorable. I've changed a lot since then, so, I dunno how people are gonna react.

Sooo... All you have to do is add messages to the items?

[Binx]

Pretty much. There were some other things I WANTED to do, but I don't think they're going to be a possibility, and if they are, they won't be needed until a later dungeon, anyways. I'm just being lazy.

Ah, unmotivated to add messages to items? That's one of the things I enjoy most and it's so easy 

 

Well, I have followed Russ' advice today to make the overworld feel connected by making a world map, where one can access all islands of the quest. It will be similar to Phantom Hourglass sea overworld, except you don't have to draw a route to move the sailing ship. I actually have only one screen of it done right now, but I've collected most necessary tiles.

Oh, yeah, it's very easy, I already have it implemented, I just have to write all the strings and apply them, which is easy... it's also very tedious, lol! Hopefully my puzzles won't be quite so terrible, this time around, lol.

 

EDIT: Oh, also, that's a good idea. Honestly, I liked PH, except for the controls, and I think you can do it justice.

Well, I got everything done and the demo's ready for release... or at least it would be, if the FFC triggers weren't being temperamental (seriously, some of them work, some don't. There's no rhyme or reason, either, I'm certain they're all set up correctly, or at least the ones that work are set up identically to the ones that don't work.).
