Those red and blue bottles on the counter. You can now break those. Also, if I place them on the floor somewhere you'll also be able to pick them up to throw.

This all doesn't have any function though. I just added them because I can XD

Sorry about the lack of activity these last two weeks. I don't have much time for my hobby this weekend either, but I did want to share a little progress. Currently I'm working on a shop like in A Link Between Worlds (just buying, not renting). Hopefully it'll be done next week. And of course the boss of dungeon 2 is almost done thanks to the feedback from Atom.

I'm still not back to my old routine, but I did want to share a new picture to show that the project is being worked on. Check the attachement. Also, the boss for dungeon2 has been tweaked and I'm comfortable saying it's now finished. (No picture 'cause I still don't want to spoil it).

@Atom: I'll send you a private demo shortly.

That just leaves the dungeon scenes and midway fight before the next release, but I'm thinking about cutting some corners to be able to show a beta version of the dungeon next month or so.

Why are you talking about "cutting corners", Martijn? You never cut corners before.

I'm just a little tired from both work at work and on this project, I guess. Also, cutting corners might have been a little poor wording on my part. I should have chosen something along the lines of: push some ideas back to a later date, for an earlier next release. It feels like ages since I released a demo.

Just wanted to say, I'd like to do a new "Let's Play" with the next demo. That first one I made is SOOOO long and really boring. It wasn't really intended to be casually watched. :P I'd like to make something more interesting and better quality with better commentary. I noticed you linked my LP in the last NCFC booth of yours, but I think it may have done more damage than good, ha ha. Anyway, I'll try to keep an eye on this project so I can do that whenever a new demo rolls around. ;)

You plan on making it a series of smaller video's this time?

It really all depends on how my play through goes. I might end up doing a lot of editing (mostly cutting boring footage) and just make a sort of highlights video of my playthrough. But if I can avoid being boring or annoying, I can minimize cutting and I would likely end up making a series if that was the case. For games with puzzle elements and stuff, it's hard not to make it boring for a viewer if I get a little lost or have to back track too much.

Cool! If at all possible I'd also like to take a look at the uncut version. Screwups are also very important information... for me as the creator anyway  XD

Love it!
I like the cheesy start to it.  It reminded me of the start (just a bit) of Majora's Mask because of how things got strange/awkward at the beginning. ^_^ I love it.  It's just like LTTP.

Very nice!
I am surprised on how you got it exactly to be like Link To The Past's engine.  Very good!
