Not much of an update in terms of getting level 4 or the overworld section housing it done, but I did a lot of changes and improvements. First of all, I went in and changed a bunch of colors around in various C-Sets (7, 8 and 11) to add for better enemy color variety and better item colors as well. I'll only spoil one of the three; C-Set 11 now features a pair of deeper blue colors to go with the silver/gray color. Like the rest of the palettes, I downloaded a picture of the NES palette and ensured that the colors of all three C-Sets edited were still in compliance with the limitations of the NES palette. You know, as an integrity check with the rest of the tileset I'm using. So yeah, actual progress was minimal, but I did make a lot of things neater overall. I have four screens made of the mountain area that houses level 4, each complete with snow effects.

So here's a list of some of the alterations since last time:

• Added a new shop that sells the "Letter (used)" item, an empty bottle, for 150 Rupees (may bump up the price). With this instead of the ordinary Letter, it activates potion shops automatically. In the case of Adam's Quest Redux, that 150 Rupee investment entitles you to being allowed to buy Red Potions from select stores. I will still keep a Blue Potion only shop around in case players don't buy it or can't afford it their first trip through the area.
• I changed the Flame 2 enemy weapon to be the new deeper blue color and use a new sprite and animation for it.
• Heart Containers now fully recover your health when collected.
• Changed the 30 Arrow Pickup to a 20 Arrow Pickup, since your initial cap is only 20. I also made a new sprite for the 20 Arrow pickup as well.
• Related to the above, made the arrow shop a bit cheaper.
• Buffed up the boss of the Sane Dune Temple to make him a worthy opponent.
• Fixed up a few typos I had on strings and reworded the one that tells you Blue Potions don't stack.
• Made Silver Arrows...actually silver in color and Gold Arrows actually gold. Before they were blue and green respectively.
• Red Lynels have had their weapon damage nerfed to 4 from 8 and I removed their "extra shots" so they don't get cheap shots off on you and phase through blocks randomly.
• Changed Leever 3's color to C-Set 11 and made it a scorpion as well. Step speed reduced to 200 from 300.

As always, comments, suggestions, etc are welcome.

Sounds pretty good so far, keep up the good work!
