Hey guys, me again after a long time gone, (due to big school projects). But well, here I bring you guys new screenshots of how I'm going with the new remake demo. Here you go:



Well there are some things I'd like to point out. The tile blocks on the subscreen were borrowed from Purplemandown's Void of Madness, I used these colors because there was no other dark color that I liked. Second thing, there are still some unfinished areas, as it is noted in Hyrule Castle.

Third thing, for you beginners and intermediate quest makers: how do you guys get inspired again? Believe me, I'm losing interest in this quest. Believe me when I say it has great potencial and I would really like to get this project finished. Any tip for that?

Another thing, this quest (if I don't cancel it) will be released by march or april of 2013. I hope I don't get to discouraged, but I´ll try to get it finished with the best of my work. Trust me, it will be way better then demo 1.

So, please help me with that guys, I see potencial, but don't want to lose it. See you around next time!

NOTE: Another demo will be released soon, but alll the way towards Glacier Mountains, just like I promised the other time.

UPDATE: (1/18/13): All right, here is the changelog since demo 1:

-String count went from 70 to 120.
-A much better and longer introduction to the game.
-New tileset yet similar (PTUX)
-Better designed screens.
-2 floors in Hyrule Castle. planning for a basement floor and a new floor for the last dungeon.
-Added the Hero's Cave.
-New demo planned to go through the first 3 Spiritual Stone Sanctuarys.

UPDATE: (1/25/13): Here are the support bars for you guys who would like to support my quest:

Looking pretty great! Screens are very good. Nice and simple, although with a few tile errors, still nice! I'll be looking forward to playing this!

[Jubbz]

Subscreen looks SOOOOOOOO much better this time. Loving it

Thanks man, I'm trying to do my best on this quest. From what I've done, it looks already much better than my first demo!

Thanks dude, I took in mind about the other subscreen, and it was too bright, plus the triforce in the background was kind of odd.

[nicklegends]

Yeah, looks pretty good so far. Thanks for sharing so many screens! I do find the perspective on the shot with the shop on the cliff a bit confusing, though.

[obituary1992]

Everything looks great! Me likey, especially the subscreen design. It's a nice touch. Also, the Temple of Light shots are purrrrrrrttyyy.....

Speaking with my experience of getting inspired, I tend to use three things:

Music
Nature Scenery
Zelda Maps

As for the music part, there's a bit of music I listen to that just reminds me of Zelda games. I don't know why, most of the music that inspires me, I never listened to when I played any Zelda games, and yet, bands like Opeth (for me) just bring these crazy visuals to mind, especially the album 'Ghost Reveries'. Every song in that album reminds me of somewhere in ALttP.

Nature scenery reminds of the days when I was young and used to run through the woods with a stick acting like I was on some epic quest like Link. Miyamoto really played well on that whole creating a character that represents the target audience. I look at a nice waterfall or a cool picture of a woodland scenery and just get inspired to make maps.

Zelda maps are the best way for me to relive the days of playing Zelda, bringing back the feelings I had while playing them and sometimes remembering some of the ideas I had for a Zelda game when my imagination still ran wild. Replaying games that I had beaten dozens of times made me explore and urn for bigger maps, broader horizons, and more killing!

But hey, that's just what works for me. Everyone is different.

Also, personally, when I just can't seem to find any motivation or creativity, I sit back and take a trip into space

Hey thanks man, two things: one, thanks for the inspiration tips, I'll try to find something to keep me inspired. And two, I made a new subscreen as you can see:



These are the Overworld and Dungeon Active subscreens. I thought I wasn't making such an original subscreen as the last one (see screenshots on top), but I drew the borders and organized the INVENTORY text. I wanted to see how a custom drawn subscreen would look like, (especially after I got inspired by seeing Lost Isle's Subscreen, pretty nice quest

As for the background, you can see a little bit of what is Hyrule Castle.( I decided to add a little update on that )
Till next time! Keep bringing more feedback!

Is that... a kid in your inventory? Is that normal?

That's the bait item class. It's not what it looks like. I have it set to bait because he is part of an event before Level 2, where you have to give him to his mother in order to proceed. Heck, it DOES look kinda weird doesn't it?

Thanks dude! And, yes, it would be funny to use the kid as a snack

You know, when all this was said about the child, I got the image of a store in the game that sells children for rupees......in a way, it feels wrong, but whatever, it's a game. It's like a McDonalds where the happy meal is not given to children, but the happy children ARE the happy meal.

Ha, funny thought But no, it's not what it looks like, let's just say he's a kidnapped child whom you have to rescue in order to proceed. However, that Mcdonald's thought DOES freak me out a little

[Xenix]

I would hope it would freak you out. It freaked me out just typing that response.
