Things are going great! I'm over halfway done with level 9. I was going to wait to post until I was done, but it's taking a while to make time to finish it. Anyway, I took a pause to update the level 9 completion percentage in my signature; then I decided to recalculate the overall percentage to include my progress on level 9. With level 9 at 60.3%, my quest is now at over 89%!

By the way, I've posted some of my custom graphics for level 9 in the Official Original Graphics Showcase thread (in the Developer's Exchange forum). It would really help me out if you would comment on my graphics there. I have posted a screenshot of an entrance room there, if you want to see it.

If you want a couple more tidbits about what to expect in level 9, here they are:

• I've chosen (as the level's "gimmick") to make level 9 an accumulation of knowledge of previous puzzles. All items Link has obtained will/can be used in level 9 in one room or another (sometimes more than one). However, there are some new puzzles I haven't used before.
• Besides the map, compass, and boss key, there are 2 major items to find (just like there are 2-3 major items to find in all of my other dungeons).
• Don't be surprised if you find that level 9 has a basement (a dark one at that, too).
• Suprise, surprise, surprise! You may be surprised at what you find! Especially if you've played level 9 of the first quest of Zelda 1...

That's it for now! (Probably revealed more than I should have, but oh well. That's why it's in a spoiler tag. ) If you could help comment on the post in the previously-mentioned thread, I would greatly appreciate it.

Edit: Oh, and by the way, regarding the time frame for completion, that has been dramatically reduced from what I told Avataro on my first update (a little over 12 months). I recalculated the timeframe based off of the percentage completed in the past month, and I am happy to say that the new estimate is 2 months to finish making this quest!
