I just wanted to say that at the time of me posting this, this project will have received 1000 replies and will have had 99,889 views (111 views short of 100,000) - and all things considered it is one of the most frequently and consistently updated projects in ZFGC's recent history. Keep up the good work!

Just a quick message saying I'm still here.
The last couple of weeks I've been working on house maintenance (hurray for questionable personal carpentry skills XD), work and personal matters so there is less progress then usual. Also, consolidating all the character shadow objects + coding is taking weeks rather then days. No worries though: I've almost fully cracked it.

===============

And here is a more proper update:
Code: [Select]
0.17.96 Studio (8 november 2015)
* Made further progress in combining the various shadow objects / scripts / sprites for containers, items, enemies and the main character

0.17.97 Studio (15 november 2015)
* Made further progress in combining the various shadow objects / scripts / sprites for containers, items, enemies and the main character

0.17.98 Studio (22 november 2015)
* Made further progress in combining the various shadows
* Fixed graphical issue during warp effect
* Fixed tiling issue in dungeon 1
* Fixed warp tiling not appearing during puzzle in dungeon 1
* Fixed error when freezing enemies

0.17.99 Studio (9 december 2015)
* Finished combining the various shadows
* Fixed issue with settings of a transition in old overworld

0.17.100 Studio (9 december 2015)
* Simplified coding surround creation of character shadows
* Added new collectable item: apple

With the roadmap now looking like this:
Code: [Select]

(DONE) Convert action object: obj_Movable_Object
Convert action object: obj_Switch
Convert action object: obj_Container
(DONE) Convert trees

 > OPTIONAL: Some trees can be crashed into for apples and other items
(DONE)  > OPTIONAL: New collectable item: apple
 > OPTIONAL: New enemy: (golden) bugs (from trees)
 > OPTIONAL: New “item”: enemy bombs (from tree mouth)
Convert darkness engine
Convert light sources
Convert all collectable items (incl. fairies)
Convert obj_Master
(DONE) Convert obj_Particle
Convert last area data & scripts
(DONE) Convert camera / view scripting

Thanks for the concern. Sadly I know all too well. I'm suffering from a burn-out for a number of months now. (My situation is already FAR better then in the beginning btw)

As for my progress on this project: I work on it less days but when I do it gives me more energy then it takes so it's all good.

Yeah, I saw it appear in my subscriptions. Very nicely done.

It's been ages since I last checked but perhaps you also need to finish the gauntlet as well for the credits. I'm not sure. Either that or it broke in one of the last public versions.

As far as I can remember, finishing the gauntlet dungeon does not give credits... On the other hand, is there an end? I'll check out.

Oh, btw, are you interested to some video about your game? Maybe a trailer, or anything really, I'll love to do something for you ^^ I could also beta test if you still need testers :)

Looking at my current version the credits should have been starting after finishing dungeon 2 or both dungeons. So it is most highly likely that there was a coding issue in the last public demo.

Recording extra video's is always appreciated. Trailers in particular are great since I am not good at making those at all. Video's on new stuff (like the day-night cycle) in the current build are also appreciated since people like seeing such progress in action.

As for testing: Heartless also offered help so I'll send the both of you a demo in 24 hours (give or take). Try and break it in any way you can ;). Do be warned that the current version will definatly contain issues with: character actions, enemies and scenes. This is because those all still need to be properly converted to 60 fps and gamemaker studio logic. For instance: enemies and Link still act at twice the normal speed.

A list of known issues helps as a checklist to check after the convertion, but I'd understand if the list is too long or boring to make. I'll leave it up to you.

Oh, and I'm wanting to do a TAS (Tool Assisted Speedrun) of this game (by the help of Hourglass). I doesn't work with the current game, mostly because of the little loading at the beginning. Do you think it will work with the demo 18 since you change some things (engine)?

Not sure, but you can test it on the testdemo that I'm sending later on. It'll have the same beginning as any future demo's.
