Welcome back. I really love the look and polish you have put into this game; the third quest idea and the Zelda, Justin, and Bailey characters are also unique and interesting additions. Best of luck to you with this project.

Wow, this is looking great!

I named them Justin and Bailey (a little easter egg to an obscure METROID code).

"obscure"

It's probably one of the two well-known Metroid NES passcodes, the other being the "NAR Password" (or as I like to call it, the "narpas sword").

I was talking to my friend last night, and he was mentioning about how in 1980, he thought the internet would become this amazing place where people from across the world would share ideas. I was telling him about how this project [KOT] has worked, lurching along for years and drawn by different people from across the globe, and he thought it was beautiful. And he was right, it's awesome. :D

So, you created the site? Nice to have you back!
This looks promising. I'd like to try it when it's done for sure!

What are you developing it in? What platforms do you plan to release it for, and will you be animating things like the sea / water etc (I know you said some things are yet to be animated but curious as to what they are).

Yes, well, for OUR generation it's pretty well known... my son's - not so much. ;)

Yep, that was me. Thank you.

This is made in Game Maker Studio. I plan on releasing it for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android (when I get a chance to make an onscreen controller).

Correct, some of the water and ocean waves haven't been animated yet. You'll notice on some of the areas in the video, I already have the animation frames going, just haven't got around to doing that for all of them.

I bet having it keep the animation frame as you transition from screen to screen would be a real pain in the ass depending how built it.

Not particularly. I just noticed what you meant. I'll fix that.

I'm more impressed your son knows what Metroid is...

As for the layout, it seems to follow the original quite closely. Are the dungeons also going to have the same-tiles-but-different-palettes pattern as the original? Or were you planning to spice those up a little with aesthetic or surprise layout changes?

Also, would choosing a different character change anything? Like, one can hit harder, another runs faster, etc?

Currently, no plans to make any changes to gameplay with different character choices.

Yes, the dungeons will be laid out as the originals were, but I am adding a Third Quest with my own dungeon layouts and a few surprises.

Switched from objects to animated tiles for the animations:

Works like a charm.

It looks great! Of course Oracle of Seasons actually started out as a GBC version of the original Zelda hence some of the map similarities.

Looks good.

Just wondering:
- would it be better to remove the old man slightly later after getting the sword? It's dumb, but I instantly consider Link stabbing the poor guy (though it has been a very long day today XD).
- because you are using GBA cave entrance tiles Link's original enter/exit animation looks a little off. Like he's sinking into the ground. Maybe it would help to adjust Link's y position a little during the animation? So when entering the y position decreases a pixel every few frames as a comprimise between the old and new visuals?

Not meant as nitpicks, but just thinking aloud. Do with it what you want. I really do like the progress.

- I actually was pretty proud I got the old man being stabbed just right... lol. I don't wanna change that one.
- Yeah, I can see what you mean. I'll try to work on making it look better, not sure if I should just remove the background staircase, or change his animation... it's a work in progress.

No worries about nitpicking; that's what makes better games. Thanks for the input.

EDIT: Changed it a bit, I think it's much better now... no more "sinking."

Will that pixel filter be a toggle-able option? It's not terrible but I feel the GBC colours pop out so much better without it :)

I'm not a big fan of unsolicited advice, but if you want some advice I have a few easy improvements for scrolling and sfx you can implement pretty quickly.

Otherwise it's coming along nicely, good work and nice progress
