OK, I've been fiddling with the Quest Editor lately with an idea I've had for a while but have only recently decided to give a try. Partially because of the 2600 quest which, I'm sorry, it looks spiffy and all but that does not look like Atari 2600 graphics at all.
I'm not making an original quest at this point, just editing the tiles so that it looks like, for the most part, Atari graphics. All beautiful and blocky. I am drawing on the Atarti cartridge Adventure for the most part, but I am taking character ideas form other games out of necessity.
Let me tell you, the game feels very different with link turned into a big square.
I'm down the the character editing at this writing, which I suspect will take the longest since I have to decide what to turn each character into, then do it, then check it, then fix it. But is I work steadily, I should have it done in about a week. More realistic projections are about two or so.
So far I've turned the Octorocks into the tanks from combat, and they look pretty good. You simply have to see what I turned the Goyrias into to believe it
Anyhoo... is there much interest for this?
