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.

Hello again. I've been making some good progress on the new overworlds this weekend. Tiling always takes far longer then I would like, but it finally nearing an end (excepts for caves, houses and so forth at least). Once that's all done I can finally start the real work of making all of work in engine via stuff like masking, object and scripting.

* Made more progress on the new overworlds
* Expanded the dig mechanics to also include dark world soil visuals
* Expanded ground layer to also be able to handle dark world cut bushes
* Handles all syntax issues that became visible due to upgrading to the newest GML version

0.21.36 (5-7 april 2019)
* Made more progress tiling, masking and otherwise populating the new overworlds
* Tweaked various overworld tilesets

Update:
My kitchen is FINALLY finished to at a point where I can focus on my project again. Phew. What a relieve. That really kept me up at times, with all the unexpected added costs and delays. You'd figure you'd just pay a company to buy and place it, but not quite.

Anyway: I'll be making more actual project progress again next week.

It looks great so far.
Let me know whenever you need help testing etc. It's the least I can do.

Thanks for the praise!

I can't seem to reproduce the issue on my latest dev version so I've probably already fixed it since that last demo. Thanks though. I always welcome bugreports

For everybody else btw:
I haven't been working on the game these last weeks (and possibly for the near future) because I'm replacing my kitchen. It's proving a lot more work (and costly) then I had planned, so I'm giving that higher prio. Man, kitchens are stressfull.

Mechanicly it'll function as a distorted mirror to the normal world, just like in alttp. I'm adding it 'cause I have plans to also add some dark world themed dungeons, as well as for story and puzzle potential down the line.

No, this one will also be a placeholder till the final update once every single dungeon is done. Basically development made it far enough where the old quick fix overworld wasn't going to work for that much longer. There wasn't really any greater design behind it yet, in that one.

The new world keeps things like dungeon orders, roadblocks, (moderate) sequence breaking and other plans in mind. The tiling process might seem random but it's mainly a creative process to add cosmetics and theming to the functional plans.

Also I'll be working a light and dark version of this overworld at the same time. And I'm also connecting to every eventually planned eventual dungeons (a.k.a. "better to plan big now and cut stuff later on in development"). For the next update each new dungeon will just be 3 standard square rooms with some area enemies, a dungeon treasure and possibly the area gimmick. That way players can already try out the macro design of the overworld. And it allows me to also work on end and mid game area's / bosses / etc in the future.

All in all I consider this a milestone as I never figured I'd actually reach this point.
