Hello, all! My first quest, The Legend of Zelda: Eternal Winter is in the midst of being created. But I need a few beta testers to play it, give me feedback, and tell me about any bugs you might encounter. Russadwan from 'Geddon Games has already agreed to beta test, but I will need a few more testers.

The story involves an epilogue to the original Legend of Zelda, and Ganon is resurrected from his ashes once Link dies. Ganon has conquered the Triforces of Wisdom and Power, so Link's only chance to destroy him is to collect the pieces of the Triforce of Courage, the third Triforce Piece of which Ganon knows nothing.

Development:

Levels:

Level 1: Graveyard Undercity, COMPLETE(With Completed Custom Boss)
Level 2: Lake Temple, 95%
Level 3: Mountain Cavern, 95%(With Planned Custom Boss)
Level 4: UNNAMED, 0%
Level 5: UNNAMED, 25%(With Completed Custom Boss)
Level 6: UNNAMED, 0%
Level 7: Lost Woods, 25%(With Completed Custom Boss)
Level 8: UNNAMED, 0%
Level 9: Ganon's Fortress, 0% (With Ganon and planned additional Custom Final Boss, but I'm not sure...)

Sub/Optional Dungeons

UNNAMED, 99% - Prize: Ladder
UNNAMED, 99% - Prize: Raft
UNNAMED, 99% - Prize: UNKNOWN(perhaps whistle...)

looks good, ill try it

the file just has to be a zip file, or else i cant get it.

[LostInHyru1e]

Thanks! I have no clue how to make anything a Zip-File. Why wouldn't a .qst file work, as long as I have it hosted somewhere?

EDIT: New screenshots! Custom Boss Facade!

I'll test yours.

[Phoenix Fable]

It looks awesome and I'd love to test it, but I'm already testing other quests and I have a lot of things going on in my life. I'll see if I have time to help.

[Aslion]

You got WinZip?
Go to your ZC folder with the quest in it, and just right-click Zip File using Winzip or something like that.

btw, I'll test for you. I <3 the classic set

[LostInHyru1e]

I don't know what "winzip" is, I'm sorry. How would I get that?

And I'm glad you'll all test! I'll keep working on that Demo, and when I can, I'll post it here. It will be unpassworded, so you guys can go inside and see what an absolute mess it is. The tiles and screens have basically no order in the file. It should play fine, though.

I'll post it when I can,

EDIT: The Demo in my siggy is outdated, BTW. I should probably just take it off...

*Bump*

I'm bumping this thread because, after a week and a half of vacation where I couldn't get anything done, I've completed my first beta demo. It's short - two sub dungeons and one level, but it's definitely a step up from my last one. Anyone who's willing to download and bug-test or just criticize would be appreciated. (Russ, Zip, Octo, Gray?)

Anyway, I changed the palette because I finally know how to do that, so I'd like some commenting on that as well. The music is, once again, a wreck. Still searching for proper Midis.

Here is the download link:

Screenshots:













EDIT: I'm a moron. The maze path south of the village and west of the graveyard is dysfunctional, and the hint inside the tree there is also dysfunctional. Just take a right there(the final step in the maze path), and next time I'll remember to check the "Use Maze Path" flag.

Will DO!

[LostInHyru1e]

Thanks!

How do you like?

[anifan]

Hello, I would like to test your quest, as it sounds like you put a lot of effort into it. I give you credit for making your own custom bosses.

[LostInHyru1e]

Yeah, some effort's gone into it. It's nothing fantastic, but I'm hoping that it's solid enough to get 4, possibly 5 stars. I won't release it until its good enough for that.

You can find the demo in the first post or my previous post. Please, tell me what's wrong, bugs, difficulty wrongness... anything.

[anifan]

The old lady in the beginning that tells you can pay her for the way across the snowfields doesn't offer any info. On that same screen is a left exit that leads into solid mountain. You will be fine, but is this intentional?

[LostInHyru1e]

I actually already edited post #8 of this thread saying "I'm a moron," and then exactly what you just said. I forgot to check the "Use Maze Path" and I also forgot to set an info type. Heh.

[anifan]

Don't worry, I've done worse. I'll try to play more of the quest today, but my sister is having a party, so I may not be able to do much. If you want to make a maze to the left of that screen without remaking the map,use a side warp.
I found that keese in this room room distrurb the traps, and in the next room a moblin got stuck in a wall and I can't continue without reentering the room.
