Your really an outstanding developer, I'm loving all of the work you've put into this so far.
I'm thinking of doing a run of this once it's complete, would be awesome.

Hello again.
Sorry about the lack of progress this month. I just got back from a 2 week vacation (which I never mention online till after for security reasons). Expect progress to continue next weekend.

Also, I think I need about 3 more weekends till the next demo now. Anybody still interested in doing playtesting and/or recording?

So, I'm sorry to say that I'll need another weekend for the next demo due to time/energy spend on two new Gamemaker Studio bugs:
1. the WITH(..) functions sometimes does not detect all instances in the room. I've recoded the most critical usages of the function but given that I use WITH(..) in 1600+ places in the project, that's just painfull.
2. When I save the project under a new title (like "public demo") some external files are not recognized in the new project. Even though they show up in the workspace and windows explorer, and can be opened from both locations. And (for as far as I was able to detect) this only occurs for some of the latest files.
...
And then I discovered I was not allowed to run with the runtime version I used before.
...
GameMaker updates breaking more then they solve again really bummed me out this weekend man.  :'(

Progress report:
Code: [Select]
0.21.77 (30 augustus 2019)

* Improved collisions when jumping into water

* Fixed sounds when jumping off a ledge into deep water

0.21.78 (31 augustus 2019)

* Finished little devil summoning scene
* Fixed visual issue with enemy depth object
* Add 1/4th magic upgrade item to the gauntlet
* Added functional altars in front of mansion to place rings on
* Started mansion entrance scene

0.21.79 (1 september 2019)

[OPTIONAL]- Tweak masking for run wall collisions with breakable walls
- Think up some sollution for the latest GML bugs I found :(
[NEW] Handle GM:Studio2 issue with unrecognized external collision files


EDIT: Correction on last weeks update XD :
I am informed by YoYo Games that the main bug I found in their recent updates, is in fact not a bug but only a small new feature that nobody will be bothered by.

Looks like some nice progress has been made, as always, but it sounds like things have been pretty troublesome for you lately with GameMaker. Sorry to hear that.

The main reason I'm posting though is because waaaay back in the middle of May I said I was going to try to record a play through of the blue underwater prison dungeon. Sadly, that didn't happen. But now that I'm 'back', I was wanting to try for it again. However, now it sounds like you're close to releasing a new demo (?), so maybe I should wait a bit more for that. In any case, it's going on my to-do list this time. :P

Hi Micah. How's it going?

Gamemaker is a real pain in the butt right now. I had hoped to get a release done last weekend, but now I'm wondering if I can even make it by the end of the day. Most of the big Gamemaker problems I have circumvented, but there is one blocking issue left with a few included textfiles (=external collision grids) not getting reads somehow. Meaning Link can't move in some rooms, effectively locking the game.

I'd suggest first playing the current demo. It'll still be very much appreciated and more stable the upcoming demo.

And here is the new demo:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/vzh0paloew8aqle/Zelda_0_21_83_public_demo.zip/file

WARNING: This is an early version for testing only! I have NOT yet been able to playtest (the whole thing) so expect plenty of bugs and so on. I'd advice saving every so often.

Also note that the water and masking in the final area (=see screenshot) is bugged. I did not have the time to finish this area fully yet. It is ALL the way at the end of the game though and you CAN walk into the dungeon to end the game.

i played for just a few minutes... and there are for now just a few minor issues:

- the shield to the "tutorial dungeon" in the north can neither be grabbed (like its indicated) nor read
- the item drop animations seem rather fast
- the "water dungeon" to the south has a rather big issue: link spawns into the second staircase so he just steps up and down the stairs endlessly

Thanks. I'll have a fixed version out by next weekend.

EDIT:
- Fixed the reported bugs on my end now. (Except the item sequences - that's as intended)
- Also fixed the water not showing by the waterfalls in that 2nd screenshot
- New bug found just now: the sword beam does not animate in all directions
   (I'll go fix that tomorrow) => Now also fixed
