And here is the latest progress report. I had hoped to do a lot more this weekend but I kinda felt drained after encountering another GameMaker issue for the second weekend in a row. Somehow the engine now thinks 176+0,6=176,600006103516 after the latest update (which leads to some visuals stuttering here and there).

Hello all. The new demo is progressing little by little. It feels a little like "Two steps forward one step back" but at least my development list is now finally short enough that I'm somewhat comfortable sharing it. I'm doing that so you have an idea of what I'm working with and to provide a new progress indicator now that the overworlds have been finished.
Also check out some newly tiled dungeon entrances in the attachments.

I'm happy to hear that!

Also, while I'm posting and as an adress to everybody: I'll be adding a small number of NPC's to the demo. Anybody want a cameo of some sorts? Rather then using random names I'd like to see if I can have some fun with this.

Entertainment / Links awakening - zelda maker dungeon

Any thoughts about the new dungeon in the Links Awakening remake: the dungeon maker mechanics?

Check the treehouse video past 14:00:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHwhTv-LdPY

This has made it an instant buy for me now! Maybe it's also hints at Nintendo wanting to experiment with a real Zelda Maker in the future.

Your really an outstanding developer, I'm loving all of the work you've put into this so far.

Thanks man. I really appreciate it.

Don't feel bad. I'd love to see you play the latest version, because nobody recorded gameplay of the blue dungeon before.

While I can produce a testing build in about 5 weeks, it'll likely be around 3 more months till it's been properly finished and tested.

Good to hear about your progress.

As for my next demo. I really love it when people record playthroughs or offer help with testing so that's like music to my ears.

If I cut corners then I should be able to produce an unpolished private version in about 5 weeks from now. But honestly, I'd rather not rush it. Maybe you can first record a playthrough of the last demo (= the blue underwater prison dungeon). Seeing gameplay and reactions for just that area is already invaluable (!) to me.

Just another reply praising your progress. 
Your tiling is looking quite nice.

Thanks.
How's your own game progressing? That's looking quite promising as well.
