Unification 2?

[Nick]

"What? A thread about that quest Nick dropped a few months ago? How is this possible? :odd: "

Yes, this thread is about Unification 2. ;)

Finally, after months of hibernation, Unification 2 is being worked on yet again, but it is being done in a new approach.

The overworld has been redone completely. It doesn't have any resemblence to the first Unification's overworld anymore. It is also much more exploreable.
Level 1 is completely different.
There is a mini dungeon before level 1 where you get the sword.
The plot is thicker than EE at the moment. It has also been changed.
Level 2 is being kept in tact, but revamped for 163.
Unification 2 uses a different tileset, thus I have to import all of the maps and convert them. Long, but worth it in my opinion.
Useless dialog has been added to make this thing a little realistic and not as boring. Not every old guy can say something wierd is going on 3 screens to the north. -_-


A demo should be available to the public in a week or two. It will go up to the end of Level 2, but no further.

I can only show one screenshot at the moment so I don't really give away what tileset I'm using...

This tileset could be anything from LTTP, old ML, R2, or even a mix of several of them, so guessing won't be easy. I won't say if your right either. -_-

Those who seen the preview at Pure ZC... "Shhh..." ;)

BTW, for those who don't know, that screenshot is from Level 2.

So... comments, concerns, anything?

Bring the demo out sooner!

Sounds great Nick! This must be the quest you were talking about when you said you were gunna work on your overworld designs! I can't wait to get the download! :D What a treat...

That is great. It is good to be working on Unification 2 again. You should work on it. EE's story is after Unification 2, so it is best that the order remains intact and that this quest be finished before EE gets finished. It's just better to do it this way.

I'd like to, but I have to get Level 2 converted then make a small village in the area before it. That will take about a week. I'll try to get it out before two weeks though. :)

I look forward to trying this. :)

[Dark_Xero]

It sounds promising!

[Nick]

Ok, the demo will more than likely be sooner than 2 weeks. I've finished half of the village and I have finished half of Level 2. All I lack are the other two halves. :)

Hmmm. I don't know ZeldaFan. He could always make a prequel so that way EE comes out before U2. I know some people do that and the games still come out very promising, also you can learn a little more in the storyline if EE comes out first.

What I have done so far in U2 is great. All the art is really good. The dungeon setup is perfect. I can't wait for the next part of U2 to come out.

It's time I showed the rest of the story...

PureZC was the site that had the rest of the story... but it's gone for now. -_-

Anyway... where should I start...

A few weeks ago, I got bored and started messing with PrinceMSC's old ML tiles. I got started making a quest with them. It was looking great and all. I had finished it up to the end of the first mini dungeon. Then, someone was talking about U2 and how I should finish it. They asked me if this was the Unification 2 revamp I was planning on doing eventually...

I started looking into merging this with a Unification 2 revamp and decided to do it. I imported the Level 2 map and started converting it. I also made sure Level 1 had the same dungeon item Level 1 in U2 had. That brings me to now.

I've got some rather old screenshots of the overworld available though...

...and also there is a Old overworld map of some of what I've done (http://eternity15.netfirms.com/overworld_x.gif)

I've done more, but I can't update the map without mapmaker.

That's about all of the screenshots I have.

What do you think? Is this worth it?

Edit: I kinda figured noone would give a care once I showed the tileset and overworld. Fine. I see how it is. I can't use a popular tileset and get away with it without someone complaining.
