Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
How did you get it to push BIG combos like the big gravestone?
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
Wow, this looks cool. But, argh! Version! :p Heh, also, maybe you should let people know to right-click and "Save As" to download the demo. I've had my computer freeze on me when my browser tried opening a quest file before. ^_^;
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
Ah, version! Forgot that! :D I can download it with left-clicking, though... Hm, I'll just put that right now.

Combo cycling. ;) Very tedious combo cycling. :scared:
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
I usually don't bother with that type of combo cycling. :P
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
Well, I thought that once you stood at the front of the tombstone, then it was pushed with no animation, it wouldn't seem right. So, this fixes it. But, in retrospect, I don't think it was really too worth it to have spent the time to make 6 separate smooth combos. But, whatever. :shrug: Perhaps it was. (Then again, the thing in Level 6 took about as long to make, with double the combos... ;) You'll like it when the final version is released.)
Anyway! Good to see you like it. :)
BTW... It may not be obvious, but you can actually heal yourself in the inns' beds. Just "get under the covers." ;)

Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
Save a little "love" for when I truly release it! If this is just a demo... ;)
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
Everybody play this demo!
Hey Pineconn, that new midi I told you about is ready. I'll have to catch you online sometime.
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
Looking good, Pine!!!!! I can't wait, your End of Time was one of my fave games!! ;)
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
I hope I'm not using a different designing technique in this quest, then! It's not very difficult, but it's not easy. I'll need a beta tester later, too. That's how serious I am getting rid of all the bugs. (But not until I'm done.) Thanks, Dan and dafeedil, for your appraisal. :)
Remember that this is only a demo of the first 5% of the game. The later 94% is much more interesting. I took out the first 1%, which includes the intro and the town. Level 8 is my most prized dungeon. It's sort of like the Palace of Winds from Minish Cap.
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
Pine, let me know, I'd love to beta test for you!
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
"Beta test," in my mind, means to test it with a 'fine-tooth comb.' That is, not just play it, but also try to mess it up. Write down mistakes, give feedback, have suggestions, etc. If you don't mind doing this, you'd be perfect to beta test my quest. But again, not for another 2 months or so. ;)
EDIT - JANUARY 2007 - Due to... circumstances... my quest will probably not be done for another few months. I promise it will be out before... 2008!!!!
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
Ok, Pine, just let me know:)
Hohummmmm, 2 more months...I guess I can wait...
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
What the hell do you EXACTLY mean by 'features' o.o
I've sever seen something like it before.
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
Features is a section that shows you some original things that are in my quest. It's a five minute deal, but is a relatively interesting section of the demo. No, you haven't seen it before. ;)
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
wow end of time = D i havent played that for ages i got stuck on lvl 4 lol
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
Level 4 of End of Time? That wasn't too hard... Of course, how could my own quest be difficult to myself? ;)
Well, I'm getting close to done with Level 8 of Link to the Heavens. After, I need to make one screen of the overworld, then Level 9, the final boss (which will be custom), and credits. By the way, July 16th marked my second year of making this quest... So I suppose today is the 373rd day! (Yay?)
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
Glad to see you have been sticking to it. I am looking forward to playing it once it's completed!
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
That's welcomed news to hear. :) Why would I scrap it after a year's worth of work? It's really worth the work when you're done and somebody likes it. It won't be out for a couple months, maybe 3, though.
I plan on remaking End of Time when I'm completely done, too, using the Pure Tileset. It'll be a little more difficult. Then, I'll start preparing for my 3rd and likely final quest, which will be my absolute best work. Of course, that will take two years to make. ;)
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
It's not that you would scrap it. A lot of people, including myself, start quests but then just don't get around to actually finishing them. I have had another one in the works for a couple years, but I just haven't had time to work on it more. Return to the Dark World was a 2 year project for me, only because I didn't finish the final few levels for over a year after the other areas. It happens. But I remember playing End of Time and I enjoyed it so I am looking forward to Link to the Heavens.
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
The name "End of Time" had absolutely no tie-in to the game. As a matter of fact, the game had no storyline. There is indeed a storyline to LttH, and the title is relevant to the game. The storyline isn't as evolved as, say, an official Zelda game, but is at least present. I will make my 3rd quest have an evolving storyline, and End of Time DX (which will be the title of the remake, I suppose) will have a storyline.
Enough of that junk. :) It's great that you look forward to LttH. (When I type that, my fingers want to type "LttP." :tongue: )
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
Pineconn, this is excellent work, I really want to see the finished product. I pray Lost Isle isn't finished before this, because I wouldn't want to steal the thunder from this marvelous quest. Everyone play this!
Re: Link to the Heavens Demo
Thanks! As a matter of fact, I'm working on it this minute! I'm currently building Level 9 (it has 105 rooms, just to let you know). Later I will design the custom final boss, the credits, then something I won't tell you quite yet. I want it to be a shock :shocking: /twist. ;)
I'm kind of in a designer's slump, though. I haven't done much work on it until this week. (By the way, I blame Twilight Princess.) Now that I've beaten it almost twice, I will now go back to regular designing.
But that end boss is going to be a pain to make...
