Eh, why not? I'm not too active here, and despair's coming along well enough. I'll just copy & paste from PureZC's expo thread.


Despair

Story:
Link awakens on the day of the trading voyage, he says his goodbyes and prepares to leave. The voyage is a success and on the way back to his home town his ship is attacked. He is but one of three survivors and is being held captive. Link manage to escape and he floats on the ocean for three days. Managing to get back to his town it's not as Link remembers it. Everything is completely destroyed but Link find some survivors of this apparent attack within a cave. The survivors tell of demons who destroyed the land and placed evil entities all around. The main source seems to be in Tulaurin the Lava Fields up north. Link sets off to save his village but little does he know the source of the problems isn't just in Tulaurin. He soon gets caught up trying to save the world from this unknown source of evil.

Info:
Level 1 is currently under development. I'm mainly entering this in the expo because I've talked to a lot of people who don't even know about the game, so I'm just giving it some attention. Progress has increased dramatically since I quit my QPF spot, and I feel really motivated. Hoping for a 2009 release, but you never know when that all to familiar rut will come along again now do we?

The last video of the boss fight seems pretty cool. I've just started working with ZQuest and let me tell you it's kinda hard, but you get used to it. But the fact that you used a different tileset than the original and the boss fight is customized means you are definitely ahead of me. I'm definitely looking forward to this quest!!
