Here is the updated demo:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/wpir7agyjg94g2t/Zelda_0_21_84_public_demo.zip/file

WARNING: Still an untested (potentially buggy) version

Progress log:

Code: [Select]

0.21.83 (9 september 2019)
* Fixed doorway positioning in underwater dungeon
* Added text to intro cave entrance signpost
* Fixed first bodies of water not displaying in underwater prison
* Fixed sword beams not animating in all directions

0.21.84 (14 september 2019)
* Fixed swimming issue in the final dungeon area
* Fixed chickens (and other enemies) ignoring ledges while walking about
Stuff left before the true demo:
[IN PROGRESS] - Add scene to enter the final dark world dungeon
- Check and edit all enemy placements
[OPTIONAL]- Add NPC's to lightworld town outside area
[OPTIONAL]- Tile/mask/finish fortuneteller house. (= heart piece hint system)
[OPTIONAL]- Fully complete overworld tilesets (=death mountain lightning+custom tiles)
[OPTIONAL]- Finish new enemies: chickens
- Fix fairies getting stuck on friction terrain
- Fix water near final area not working
[NOW IN PROGRESS]- Playtest entire game

====

EDIT: I'll likely release another demo in the next 12 hours because of some more bugs I found while playtesting.

Example: The sewers dungeon can't be explored yet because one of the torches you need to open the first door has the incorrect starting state. Get this. Appearently (since updating) the GM room creation code is triggered AFTER the creation code of SOME objects but not others. So in the sewer area 12 torch objects exist and of those 7 get created before the correct area data is set, while 4 are created after. Like wtf?! You can't make this stuf up

Thanks. I'll have a fixed version out by next weekend.

EDIT:
- Fixed the reported bugs on my end now. (Except the item sequences - that's as intended)
- Also fixed the water not showing by the waterfalls in that 2nd screenshot
- New bug found just now: the sword beam does not animate in all directions
   (I'll go fix that tomorrow) => Now also fixed

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother man. You should always give life prio over hobbies so good for you. Still nice progress though.

The black sprites used for dodging and recharging stand out somehow. Maybe it's because most of your spritework feels smooth and is without other pure blackness. Using a few frames of a fully white link / tunic instead might be a simple way to get some softer visual indicators. (Check the hair recharge in "Celeste" for an example).

And here is the new demo:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/vzh0paloew8aqle/Zelda_0_21_83_public_demo.zip/file

WARNING: This is an early version for testing only! I have NOT yet been able to playtest (the whole thing) so expect plenty of bugs and so on. I'd advice saving every so often.

Also note that the water and masking in the final area (=see screenshot) is bugged. I did not have the time to finish this area fully yet. It is ALL the way at the end of the game though and you CAN walk into the dungeon to end the game.

Hi Micah. How's it going?

Gamemaker is a real pain in the butt right now. I had hoped to get a release done last weekend, but now I'm wondering if I can even make it by the end of the day. Most of the big Gamemaker problems I have circumvented, but there is one blocking issue left with a few included textfiles (=external collision grids) not getting reads somehow. Meaning Link can't move in some rooms, effectively locking the game.

I'd suggest first playing the current demo. It'll still be very much appreciated and more stable the upcoming demo.

So, I'm sorry to say that I'll need another weekend for the next demo due to time/energy spend on two new Gamemaker Studio bugs:
1. the WITH(..) functions sometimes does not detect all instances in the room. I've recoded the most critical usages of the function but given that I use WITH(..) in 1600+ places in the project, that's just painfull.
2. When I save the project under a new title (like "public demo") some external files are not recognized in the new project. Even though they show up in the workspace and windows explorer, and can be opened from both locations. And (for as far as I was able to detect) this only occurs for some of the latest files.
...
And then I discovered I was not allowed to run with the runtime version I used before.
...
GameMaker updates breaking more then they solve again really bummed me out this weekend man. 

Progress report:

Code: [Select]

0.21.77 (30 augustus 2019)
* The GML WITH(..) function is bugged. Switched back to the older INSTANCE_NUMBER(..) and INSTANCE_FIND(..) alternative where the results where definitely off.
* Fixed issues with swimming below the overworld bridges
* Tweaked ocotrok AI to only shoot out rocks while the character is not too far away
* Improved collision detection between wall crashing and breakable walls
* Tweaked dark world containers
* Finished overworld masking
* Finished all overworld diggrids
* Checked / edited all room hud texts
* Improved collisions when jumping into water
* Tweaked overworld tiling here and there
* Fixed sounds when jumping off a ledge into deep water

0.21.78 (31 augustus 2019)
* Lost another half day due to Gamemaker not recognizing (some) external files if you save the as a new version. :(
* Finished little devil summoning scene
* Fixed visual issue with enemy depth object
* Add 1/4th magic upgrade item to the gauntlet
* Added functional altars in front of mansion to place rings on
* Started mansion entrance scene

0.21.79 (1 september 2019)
* Made good progress on the mansion entrance scene
Stuff left before releasing an untested demo:
*I'll likely release an untested version when all the non-optional stuff is done and then the real demo when everything is done and testing.

[IN PROGRESS]- Fully mask both overworlds
- Add diggrids to both overworlds
[IN PROGRESS] - Add scene to enter the mansion dungeon
- Add scene to enter the final dark world dungeon
[IN PROGRESS] - Connect the mansion dungeon to the overworld
[ALMOST DONE] - Add the magic granting devil

[OPTIONAL]- Add Link's starting house

[OPTIONAL]- Tweak masking for run wall collisions with breakable walls

[NEW] Handle GM:Studio2 issue with unrecognized external collision files


EDIT: Correction on last weeks update :
I am informed by YoYo Games that the main bug I found in their recent updates, is in fact not a bug but only a small new feature that nobody will be bothered by.

Hello again.
Sorry about the lack of progress this month. I just got back from a 2 week vacation (which I never mention online till after for security reasons). Expect progress to continue next weekend.

Also, I think I need about 3 more weekends till the next demo now. Anybody still interested in doing playtesting and/or recording?

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.

Hello all. The new demo is progressing little by little.
