And here is the final tester demo before the SAGE event.
This is just a quicky update for demo and testing purposes. In short: The final boss has been included (without intro scenes - for now), an error is fixed when trying to  swim without flippers and the depth system has seen some updates.

EDIT:
Found a major issue in the demo so I'm pulling it. I'll release a patched version in a few days.

Just a quick post to let you all know that SAGE2021 started. A new demo of my game is also present if you want to check it out and show it some love.

And here is the latest progress report.
Also, the SAGE expo is now "over", so I'll be taking a few weeks to comb through the available livestreams to tweak and bugfix. Overall I'm quite happy with the results. Though I was a little surprised that native controller support was such a mandatory thing for some people to even play. (Guess I was a little out of touch on that one). Also: Zelda fangames get featured far less (most of the week) because plenty of streamers seemed go down their lists starting with A. Go figure. Maybe I should rename my game to "A link to the past fangame" next year instead. XD

EDIT: I hope to release a hotfix demo by the end of the next weekend. That one will be made available on this forum again.

No worries.
If all goes well then I *should* have controller support out by the end of this next weekend as well. Though I only have a basic model lying around to test with, so different models migth still take a workaround if they use different standards (like the Switch Pro controllers do apparently).

Demo 25 is out below
After SAGE 2021 I've been taking a little bit of time to hotfix and tweak the game further before releasing this updated version. You'll notice that the game now has autosaving and native gamepad support. Enjoy!

SIDENOTE: I'll add more settings (and clean up the added options layout) in demo 26. First I'm looking for player feedback on how this iteration actually works for their controllers.

Download
Demo version: 0.25.11
File Size: 25,61 MB (Zipped)
Download (Mediafire): https://www.mediafire.com/file/reoml9ix5lwxd4d/Zelda+0+25+11.zip/file

Differences in SAGE 2021 demo compared to v24:
* Added a final boss fight
* Added 2 new enemies: variant bat and variant wall master
* Seperated damage stats for thrown objects and for bounced back projectiles
* Fixed all known errors
* A ton of tweaks and fixes

Additional differences in v25 compared to SAGE 2021 demo:
* Added autosaves (every screen transition)
* Added native gamepad support (= enabled in the options menu)
* Fixed all known errors
* Lots of small tweaks and fixes


Progress report:
Code: [Select]
0.25.07 (30 augustus 2021)
* Fixed error when calling the bird in the mansion garden
* Made more preparations to add controller support

0.25.08 (2 september 2021)
* Tweaked small tiling issue in the lightworld
* Made more progress adding controller support

0.25.09 (3 september 2021)
* Finished adding controller support
SOME NOTES ON THIS:
– I´ve being playtesting with the one gamepad I own that actually works on PC. Different brands might require a different mapping so if the button layout feels off for you, please let me know what brand/type controller you are using and what buttons you feel need switching on it. The more information the better.
– Showing the gamepad controls in the HUD and so forth will be added later
– Further gamepad will also be added to the options menu later
– For those following the game for a while: I might end up editing the default keyboard controls a little to improve the gamepad controls

* Game now only closes via keyboard controls: Escape,
* Fixed error when trying to kill cucco's
* Lowered angry cucco intensity
* Fixed map not showing as subboss room as visited upon first entering
* Fixed incorrect damage stats used when running into enemies (=enemy could be stunned or turned to stone where not intended)
* Lowered amount of money hidden under tombs staircase (to prevent easy rupee farming)
* Tweaked subboss royal tombs stats and health a little
* Fixed pushing air when opening a locked door while moving towards door

0.25.10 (4 september 2021)
* Edited hinttext for the cape item
* Tweaked mining town boss defense stats
* Added hint(text) for beating the final dungeon boss
* Tweaked mining town enemy placement ever so slightly
* Increased the cost of the red tunic
* Tweaked a hinttext near the second to last key in the tombs
* Fixed diving issue (caused by edits for gamepad support)
* Fixed error when jumping into specific water tiles from specific directions while not being equipped with the correct tunic

0.25.11 (5 september 2021)
* Fixed minor depth issue with door near big chest in the mining town
* Tweaked overworld tiling lower right of mining town
* Changed default screen resolution to large (from fullscreen for better performance)
* Tweaked some barrel placements in mining town houses
* Tweaked hinttexts a little from the day before
* Added autosave feature to the game (=triggered by room transitions)
* Dropped “save & continue” option
* Cleaned up the coding behind the options menu some more
* Gamepad controls can now be viewed in the options menu
* Added option to enable/disable native gamepad support

Just looked at it for a few minutes:
1. the "full" screen option streches the picture to my resolution, instead of 4:3
2. the xbox one x controller, seemed to work fine, just that if i press the analog stick to far to the right, link autowalks right. if i just press it slightly or any other direction or use the dpad, it doesn't

1. This has always been the case. You want me to (add an option to) keep it at 3:4 by adding sidebars? What specific screen size do you have?
2. So the problem is that moving the stick to the right means that Link doesn't stop again?

Interesting. If moving the stick to the right is the only controller issue you have, then it might be related to the specific controller. Since moving the stick down is handled exactly the same in code. Maybe the game's set to sensitive for some (used?) controllers? Hmm. I'll have to read up on this. I'll see what I can find out during the weekend.

@All: Does anybody else have this, or similar, controller issues?

Currently still working through the SAGE observations and feedback. Had a case of mild food poisoning so it went a little slower then I'd hoped but it's progressing. Hopefully I can finish up next weekend, so that I also get back to the new cathedral level soon as well.

As for controller support: I had to return my cheap testing controller earlier because of buttons failing. So I'm putting that on hold for a little while until I get another (fixed) unit. Well, I might still work to expand the options, but it's a little too risky to release something without any testing.

Progress report:
Code: [Select]
0.25.12 (7 september 2021)
* Added scene for when you bring Florine to the underwater prison exit room
* Corrected overlapping water visuals in underwater prison B3

0.25.13 (10 september 2021)
* Upgraded to latest Gamemaker versions

0.25.14 (12 september 2021)
* Game now asks for confirmation before closing
* Added little reward to the “arrow in the knee” joke statue
* Added map goal indicator after beating the mansion
* Added beter NPC guidance in front of the mansion (directly after beating the intro cave)
* Made the chasing soldier AI slightly less efficient (to make it easier on players)
* Fixed scene not triggering in the mining town, when bringing a second hostage to their target location from the left

Hi OtherBlue,

Welcome to the forum.

For a walkthrough of the mining dungeon you could check out this playthrough:
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1131276659?t=01h01m24s

Alternatively I'll give away where you can find the different keys (in order):
Show content
1. In central cave; kill all the enemies and activate the conveyor belt
2. In the town center enter the restaurant, walk over the outside walkway to find the chest in the broken house a little left of the center
3. In town area carried by soldier in upper right
4. In the town top middle grab the key on a bookcase in the library
5. Inside the mines, in the room where you bring the children is a chest down the left staircase.
6. Inside the mine where the gaurds are patrolling is a chest with a key on the top pathways
8. The chest in the broken chicken farm in the south of the town
7. Inside the mines (B3 - lower right corner of the map) is a room with rolling pins and a key at the end of the path. Bomb a wall to access that room from the north.


If you are still stuck afterwards let me know which keys you were able to get so that I can dive deeper into the issue.

Just a minor update this week. Mainly I've added gamepad options to set the button/stick deadzones (=% you need to activate controls for the game to register).
@pxl_moon (dotyue): could you check if changing the deadzone values fixes the stick issue you experienced? (We can at least rule it out as a cause).

Download: https://www.mediafire.com/file/n1es3bfewhjn6ev/Zelda+0+25+18.zip/file

Progress report:
Code: [Select]
0.25.15 (13 september 2021)
* Tweaked page layout for gamepad controls a little

0.25.16 (17 september 2021)
* Restructured option menu code some more
* Added options to adjust gamepad deathzones

0.25.17 (18 september 2021)
* Hud/menu button indicators now made gamepad appropriate based on choice in options menu
* Made underwater prison shortcut warp easier to find
* Added a few more hints to the underwater prison

0.25.18 (19 september 2021)
* Fully tiled and masked two rooms in the cathedral dungeon

Played a little bit around and i think it had to do with my up/right directions... maybe the stick is a little "used"  >:D
Well, at least the standard setting is not making a problem (sry if thats the same setting you used before ) and the maximum setting shows control over the left/down directions, but not the up/right directions

At least it is now playable for me \o/

I just want to mention how impressed I am that progress is continually being made on this project.  I used to hang out here probably 10 years ago and I remember seeing progress updates it seems way back then.  Every couple of years I pop in again and see updates on this project. Way to stick with it!
