This month, I haven't done that much for the quest itself besides a bunch of "idea generation", so progress on it is just about the same.

However, I have recently started setting up a modified version of the BS 1st quest, in which I plan on presenting many of the scripts I plan to include. I chose to simply modify a familiar quest so I can allow the reception of the quest to be more focused on the scripts (although the scripts won't be the only change), but the reception would also include how the scripts work with each other, unlike if I was to simply directly release them into the database. I would demo them with RFP, but the fact that I threw out the overworld I had in favor for a new idea I got for a "different" overworld (more on that later though) puts the quest in no state to be demoed.

What will be modified in the BS quest:
- Better looking screens (+ shading)
- Increased difficulty
- Bonus dungeon

The scripts that I plan on including:
- New Game +
- New Game - (an individual post for explaining the "New Game" system and some of the other scripts will be out soon)
- Constantly (but gradually) Modified Difficulty (based on player performance)
- Critical and Blocked Hits (1.5x and .5x attack)
- Custom Bosses (the bosses really do need work)
- New Item Leveling system (still thinking of how exactly this'll work)

What MAY be included:
- Improved AI (How to Avoid a Super Slow Flame Moving Towards You for Dummies)
- "Day & Night" system
- Mission-Based Levels

Stuff I mentioned for RFP that will NOT be included:
- Score System (I have...different plans for presenting this)
- Elemental Items
- Usable Triforce

Again, I am currently setting this quest up. I'm focusing on establishing everything besides the scripting first, and then I'll script the scripts.

As for news for the quest, the new idea for the overworld that I thought of is a lazy idea: simply mimic the overworld of Ocarina of Time. Since this game is only a couple centuries short of Ocarina of Time, I thought it would make sense to make the overworld similar to OoT's (but don't worry, Hyrule Field will not be as empty in this quest), although I will add in a few more areas. These areas include a whole new town that can be found behind the Temple of Time, and a Sky Overworld that has a "Zealous" environment, and will feature another town and the Frosty Caps, a very chilly mountain range.

That is basically it everybody, the next "Monthly Update" will be on the 30th of August, while the next post should hopefully pop up in a week or two that will put together what exactly to expect for RFP and the scripts. So, have a pleasant August, and I'll see you all later.

What is this quest? It sounds tenacious!
