In the attachment is another visual of the progress I am currently making.
This map will replace the one screen outside area from before. It's all just temporary till after the second or third dungeon is finished.

Yes, that is correct. The small area was getting a little crowded while testing. And I figured players might appreciate it. You're dissappointed?

I'm currently working on outside screen transitions in order to split the area up. That should help keep the framerate low for user with weaker computers.

EDIT:
And ere is an another overview of the latest progress:

0.13.14 (14 september)
+ Added new enemy: Green rookie soldier (+ intergrated it's coding with that of the archer's)
+ Tweaked stats Goriya enemies
+ Changed colors skeleton archer

0.13.15 (21 september)
+ Expanded outside area (visuals only for now)
+ Worked on updating the website for the new NCFC
+ Worked on several new rooms for dungeon 2 + updated the map accordingly

0.13.16 (22 september)
+ Fixed depth issues when burning enemies
+ Recoded parts of the transition objects to make them more uniform
+ Altered running and walking animations (when not holding a container)
+ Finished masking the outside area
+ Added outside screentransitions
+ Altered walking / running animations during transitions

0.13.17 (23 september)
+ You no longer stop when releasing the run button. Instead you need to press a different directional button. (which is in line with the original game).
+ Fixed issues with vulture following you into a new area
+ Tweaked the default walking animation

Awesome! :) I love that you can stun enemies by getting dirt in their face from using the shovel!! Thats a great little touch!
Does this update - "+ You no longer stop when releasing the run button. Instead you need to press a different directional button. (which is in line with the original game)." fix the glitch of causing Link to automatically keep walking forward when entering a room? I had that glitch happen quite few times.
Oh, and I havent forgot about helping with some of your requests. I will definitely get round to doing some as soon as I can.

It's good of you to remind me of that issue. It might be fixed for running animations, but I'll have to check. I've already tried to fix the entire thing properly a couple of times now, but it's tricky not to do more damage then good. Maybe I'll try again soon.

There is actually a second reference made with this character, through his appearance and the way he laughs. I thought anybody would get the monkey island reference so who knows if somebody finds the second one.

Sorry for the absense of updates last weekend. XCOM came out XD
Basically I'm finished for the upcoming NCFC event contentwise and I'm looking for people to help me test and tweak the game. Anybody interested?

Thank you. Your help would be most appreciated. Let me know when you're ready and I'll set up a testdemo.

Come to think of it. I haven't updated the dutch gamemaker forum in ages. Might as well get on that as well this weekend.

EDIT: Btw. Does anybody remember who made the contribution in the attachement? I always intented to use it in dungeon two (which I'm currently working on), but it's been so long that I forgot who made it.

Just a little update. Here is the website voor the NCFC event:
http://martijndh.woelmuis.nl/index.htm

Did anybody find any issues in the current demo that needed fixing? I still have about 1 day to adress whatever is found.

Such nice progress through unquestioned dedication. I surely do hope you get the recognition you deserve, Martijn.

Anyhow I'll check out the new demo to confirm freezing on my end later today. For now, I must go shave this god damn beard off.

does this demo play on any computer or do I need to install some sort of game player? Asking because I'll be getting it once I go over my friend's place. I know itll be too late for the event but I can still see if I find anything good or bad with the game so far..
