LET'S PLAY!

Martijn gave me version 0.15.24 for me to do a "Let's Play", and I have done so. Before you watch, understand that it will not be a normal LP, because I already played through most of the dungeon in previous demo versions. Also, there are a few minor bugs I ran across while playing. Usually an LP will be of a game that is complete and also the person playing usually hasn't played much - if any - of the game, and that is not the case here, so in a lot of ways it just isn't as good, as it doesn't have that genuine LP feel to it for the most part.
Furthermore, it is over an hour... yes, I know, that's really long and even I wouldn't find it exciting to watch the whole thing. So, unless you are REALLY bored, a stalker of mine, or you are just that much of a Zelda fan, you will probably not really enjoy watching this:

Thanks!
I'll be going over the demo today, fixed all issues that I find in the video, and then I'll release that demo for the others as well.

EDIT: Watched the whole thing and wrote down a bunch off things that I'll be tweaking in the near future. Also, I laughed my ass off after you beat the game! Sorry for that XD. We nearly made it though perfectly I guess. Hahaha.

Yeah, that was actually the same error I got at the first start up (I didn't record that part). I just didn't realize that I got it again because it reset after the ending. So it wasn't the end of the game that triggered it, it was the beginning. And it seemed to be something to do with the bg sound turn off switch, which is not in any public version, so it's not a big deal. I tested the bg, turning it off and on and it was fine, so I should also be able to make a trailer pretty soon using that version. It won't be anything too fancy, but it should be a nice solid trailer. :)

Not a whole lot to report this weekend. :( I tried all sorts of new things, but most of it backfired and eventually got scrapped again. Here is what got changed that's left in:

0.15.29 (6 april 2013)
+ Added tree object (= trees are no longer tiled + colors are now variable)
+ Optimized tilesets a little more

0.15.30 (7 april 2013)
+ Tweaked tree spriting
+ Optimized tilesets further
+ Fixed graphical glitch on the edges of dug ground surfaces
+ Combined the dug ground surfaces and the diggrid array within a single object

Thanks. It's a bummer if things don't planned and you have to undo earlier work (like this weekend as well), but not catastrophic. I'll just try new things next weekend.
Here is this weekend's progress:

0.15.31 (13 april 2013)
+ Fixed slowdown while destroying 4 or more bushes at once

0.15.32 (13 april 2013)
+ Improved efficiency during some room transitions
+ Redid tree objects, fixing a large number of issues

0.15.33 (14 april 2013)
<Build an system to handle object shadows dynamicly, but sadly it conflicted with the pause system. This is because blending effects don't work well with surfaces. Fixing that manually killed the framerate.>

0.15.34 (14 april 2013)
+ Turned back all changes made in 0.15.33 :(
+ Added shadows for trees

Heart Containers? Those should be Pieces of Heart.

Here is another weekly update:

0.15.36 (27 april 2013)
+ Tweaked small tiling glitch in dungeon 1
+ The floorbutton in the the first cannonball room in dungeon 1 now creates a shortcut
+ Cukeman no longer shocks you if you hit it with dirt or a shovel

0.15.37 (27 april 2013)
+ Enemy positioning is reset once you re-enter a room
(More specificly: When entering a room active enemies are always destroyed and recreated at their original spawn locations if that position is free of collisions. Destroyed enemies still only respawn after you've traveled through enough other rooms. One-time only enemies (like enemies falling from the ceiling) always get permanently destroyed when you leave a room. Continuesly spawned enemies are uneffected.)
+ Added a couple of containers to room in dungeon 1 where you are supposed to fall through the floor. This done to give a reason to walk over the fragile floor and hear it crumbling.

0.15.38 (28 april 2013)
+ Projectiles outside of the current room get destroyed
+ Fixed small tiling issue in dungeon 1

+ Simplified cannonball-puzzle in dungeon 1 (a lot)
+ Added optional warp tile hidden underneath containers (like a rocks)
+ Edited hinttext for entrance puzzle  in dungeon 1
+ Added small hole in the ground that hurt you

0.15.41 (5 mei 2013)
+ Added small hole in the ground leading to a room below

+ Added endless holes attached underneath containers

I know I said this already but I'm really looking forward to this. A Link to the Past (and Link's Awakening and the Wind Waker for that matter) is the best thing to ever happen in the Legend of Zelda series for me and making a game based off of it and yet making it more interesting is an instant look forward to.

Keep up the good work!

No progress this weekend. I had two teeth pulled a couple of days ago and I haven't been in a mood to do much of anything because of that. (My cheek's all swollen) :-X
