[Winter 08] Death Mountain Trail+ BS

This is a quest that I've been working on in my spare time for a little while now in 2.10.

-----------------
Story
-----------------
Ganon has been a relatively small threat for a short time now in Hyrule since Link last defeated him. But recently him and his minions have been on an uprise. The local wildlife notices this recent uprising and begins to stir. Eventually the local creatures, once kind and even sophisticated, began to turn into ravaging beasts. With creatures attacking the town and Ganon's army as well, the villagers of Kakariko need a hero's help. Ganon knows of the power of the Hero's bloodline, and has fled to the summit of Death Mountain to escape danger, sending his army to defend the hillside. Now Link embarks on his longest journey yet, climbing the highest mountain in Hyrule to reach the ultimate evil...


The quest itself is not very far along, though I have some ideas straight and planned. As this is my first quest, I began it in the Classic tileset, though have already started a concurring version using the BS tileset.

I'm looking for people to design the dungeons for this game for me, as I've discovered that I have both problems and am not very skilled at, designing and drawing dungeons. Please post here or PM me if you are interested.


The idea revolves around climbing Death Mountain, with a basic design of a winding path, moving left and right along the length of the entire overworld, much like and elongated S shape.

Here are some comparison screenshots:

Like I said, this is my first quest, and is not very far along and I am not the best with the BS graphics yet.


*Known Bugs*
NONE

If anyone can provide me with help on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: The development of this quest has indefinitely been moved to the latest 2.5 beta (which is 737 at the time of this writing). If any major problems occur or are discovered in the quest, development will most likely be switched back to 2.10, depending on the severity of the issue.

Hm, it looks good. I think you might be using the BS mountains wrong, but other than that, it looks good. Nice job. :thumbsup:

Edit: Pineconn, do you enjoy being able to edit other people's posts in this forum?

Edit: Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. :D ~Pineconn

Answer is in your post. ;) Hey, I decided to do a nice thing and fix the http://www.HAHAYESSSSZELDAISKOOLMAN!...ATUPHOMES?.bmp's.

A little bit of ground detail would go a long way, in my opinion. I'm not sure if the BS tileset has ground texture for the brown-colored ground, but if it does, try adding a little. And I like the idea of scaling a mountain; if done right, it could prove to be an interesting gameplay element.

As I believe you yourself has said before, it is a hard switch from Classic mountains to pretty much any other tileset's mountains. With classic, you pretty much have 4 corners, a bottom, top, and middle.
I'm sure my mountain error is most obvious in the first BS picture.

Oh, thanks Pineconn for the picture fix:D. I'll go for some ground detail. There weren't really any good, important screens that I had done yet, though I thought that anything is better than nothing.

:EDIT: Detail such as this, Pineconn?

Yay, I got the picture to work!!!!

...It doesn't work for me.

Yes, that does look better. Are there any waves for the water? :D

But why doesn't it work in his post?

He tried 'stealing' the image from the website, which apparently doesn't work. I tracked the image down, downloaded it, and uploaded it myself to Photobucket.

Oh. Thief! :D

Accusing me of thievery, eh? I uploaded it to the site, then used "copy image location", then put it around IMG tags. It worked for a while, but now for some reason it doesn't. I drew it myself, so I wouldn't call it thievery:tongue:

Waves? I'll look into it, but I'm pretty sure there isn't any waves. You mean in the water, right?

I also added a list of current bugs so far in my quest. If anyone can provide any help with these(particularly the first one), it would be greatly appreciated.

(I overuse my powers. :p)

I'll be sure to do that.

1) Seems to me you're setting up the wrong tile. Try placing both the green and blue tiles at the bottom of the screen.

2 and 3) I'll have to check these out tomorrow.
