So I've been working for a while on this and while some may remember it from a progress dump I did a while back, to others it may be completely new. This is the official sequel to Link's Quest for the Hookshot while Link's Quest for Canada is more of a prequel/spiritual successor. Quest is a sort of hybrid between a standard classic quest and a script filled epic quest. That is to say it has a lot of scripts and not a lot of story to it. The story, as short as it is, goes like this:

Zelda has been kidnapped. Go save her.

Okay, so there are some story elements but ultimately that's what it all boils down to. Zelda has been kidnapped by a group of monsters known as the Seven Sinners and you have to find seven moral compasses to gain entrance to their lair and save her. Since it's customary for a quest project topic to provide screenshots, here you go:


The first screen

The Konami Grove

The first dungeon (conveniently located on the first screen)

The fifth dungeon, a personal favorite of mine

This quest is more or less finished. That's not to say I'm done working on it, but it's finished to the extent that I need testers urgently. If you want to help test, either PM me or post your application in this thread.

Current testers:
Group 1

• Eppy
• Jared
• Shane
• -DuCkTApE-

Group 2

• c00ln3rd
• Anthus
• Fireblast124
• Twinblake

So yeah. I'm kinda Dawnlighting here. I wanted to keep this quest fairly classified save for that one post possibly 3 people saw where I dumped the whole thing. Turns out people need to know about the quest in order to playtest it. Who woulda thunk it?

Oh yeah here's a hastily created and completely unrelated userbar I made.

Well if you want me to, I could record footage locally(Secretly) of my beta run through and upload the videos privately(only you can see). I've done it before with I can't Dray 8 Bit(Yeah, I still have all of that footage up on youtube in a secret place...)

I'd love to beta test. As you probably know, I'm good at beta testing.

Added you. Do you have any idea how long it will take you to get the videos finished and uploaded?

Welcome aboard the testing train, Jared.

[Shane]

I'd like to test as well, please.

Added you to the list.

So for the testers: Would you like cheats just in case or would you rather play without them? Level 4 cheat may break certain aspects of the quest depending on how you have your keys configured.

Oh my look, Links quest for the hookshot is getting its sequel it always needed. I look forward to when it is released.
Hmm... didn't you release this file not long ago as a .qst file named Quest?

Just seems like I seen some of it before.

Blargh. You know I'd love to hop onto the testing crew, but I want my inevitable LP of this to be blind. ):

Well anyway. Glad to see it's just about done at this point!

You can always record it while testing and save uploading until later.

I suggested this to Dan. He'd rather LP it in the most complete and bug free form possible.

[Eppy]

I can get the videos done and up as I do them. Unlike when I did 8bit, I have less work this time of year and I already have my AA, so MORE free time to work on stuff like this.

Giving the cheat would be nice in the event something goes horrible wrong(ie: a bug) that would result in a permastuck.

Okay. Added you to the list. Kinda wondering since you've tried making title screens in the past, could you try to make me one? I'm thinking like a hookshot in the background with LQftH 2: Quest overlayed on top in the font used by the typical Zelda title screen but with no actual Legend of Zelda on it since this quest isn't even really Zelda anymore. If this is too much to ask I understand completely.

I will try to tommorow when I get home from school!!!

I'll give it a shot. I've done some bug testing for my quest.




... By that I mean rubbing my face on every combo. xD
