OK. I just downloaded the game by quoting the first post and than copy/paste this link (
http://www.box.net/shared/xnor2vytn3) in a new tab.
Am I correct in guessing that the Town Dillocheck is the only area you can go about? Because if not, the roads out of the town don't work.
Here are somethings I like to mention:
1) The controls: The arrow keys don't work, instead I, J, K, and L keys have to be used. For walking.
2) Day time ends in like 20 seconds and night lasts forever.
3) When Link leaves the house he gets approached by a kid that starts to talk to Link. He says that you, mustn't forget Navi and after that there seems to be a conversation between navi and the kid. It is however unclear who says what. In these cases where multiple characters say something it would be nice to have an obvious indication of who's turn it is. By starting with a name (in color preferred) for example.
4) The kid also gives you the assignment to go to his father. But he doesn't say who it is and how to recognize him. The assignment is unclear.
5) Wtf, is with some of the houses? See 1.jpg
6) The window of the game always jumps to the center of the screen when I go in or out of a house. Also the size of the window changes at those times. What is up with that? See 2.jpg
7) I like the charging of the sword. The ring of lights is a really nice touch, but I can't move when I'm charging and still it plays a walking animation.
8 ) In some places the HUD is obscured, like in buildings. Together with the small resolution makes the HUD a bit invisible. I've added an attachment (3.jpg) that shows my desktop with your game.
9) Why press 1 to use the bow?
Well are my comments on the demo. And don't give up on making the game, just because you lack motivation. Maybe it is time you start to focus on different aspects, like just making random sprites (not necessarily for the game) or fantasize on how the story will be. Switch tasks. Or experiment with some technical stuff, which might be valuable for the game or not. But don't stop, because you won't start up again.
PS: I still want to know about the night thingy.
