I haven't been here for about a week and a half, but I thought I would update you guys on whats been happening.
Update #1 Monday February 9/09:
Work has been slow because of the lack help (Not from you guys, I mean beta testers and stuff.)from FefeRawft and Co. (Yes it exists! Visit our channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/FefeRawft).
I finally got some of my guys to do some dungeon planning and beta testing. We have been working hard for the past week, and we are starting some early planning/ideas for a game that might not ever be released: Super Mario Galaxy 2D. Even though I only started in December, I have been working every day as for at least an hour planning or putting the quest together with my team, that it could be done by around April. We want to release it on my birthday, April 13th. The original name for my quest was "Felix Quest" as a tribute to my dead cat Felix (AKA Fefe Rawft) then it was changed to Journey Through Hyrule. In December, it was changed again to New Hyrule. The final name may be changed back to Felix Quest, but we are still deciding.
I had posted previously that I needed the best copy of ZQuest, but that was because I used I 2.5 beta that kept crashing a while back, I basically re-copied the original version with a few minor, and major changes. One of the Major changes was that we decided to make a coast line on almost all of the screens on the edges of the map. We realized that it didn't look like Hyrule anymore so we changed the name to Korule. An Island we made up, that is owned by Hyrule just off the coast. The story was originally that it was a new Link and Hyrule and Zelda was kidnapped (What's new?). So now that it was in Korule, we decided to mix things up a bit. The story now is that after Twilight Princess (It's the same Link), Link rewards himself by going on vacation. Ganon's ghost retreats to an island south of Hyrule (He didn't know it was Korule), and started to terrorize the citizens. Most of the towns became abandoned or cut off from the rest of the island. The only town that is able to fend them off is Little Forest (Your starting area). Though their hotel was attacked and taken over (Lv.1 Haunted Hotel). Anyway, Link's ship crashes because of a spell Ganon's ghost put on it. He wakes up and starts exploring the town.
I don't know why these are .jpgs, on my computer, they are .pngs.

In Lv.1 Haunted Hotel, one of the few people who wants to stay there, hints that in the old kitchen, you can find some food I wonder how soon you will need that (Hint hint). This picture was really early, the fires are gone, and we have already gone through 3 different magic meters.

This is one of the rooms in Lv. 4 Korule Tower. It was recently made, we are working on Lv. 4.

Entering Korule Castle (This leads to Lv. 4 Korule Tower) Don't worry, we are currently upgrading the graphics for the castle. Notice the old magic meter.

This is near the castle, this screen is not ready yet.

Looking at the map. The white thing with the dots is the castle. It appears white when zoomed out for some reason.

A look at the current overworld map.

I felt this screen was copying a different quest with the heart shaped stars, so it is gone. This is early, it is using the first magic meter. I got carried away and this was the original entrance for the possibly 2 floor Lv.9.

Very early, the making of the entrance to Lv. 2.

Version 1 of the completed Lv.2 Entrance, it looks very different now (Notice how little of an overworld there is.) This was the pre-magic meter stage.

This screen is different, a lot of the blocks became hotel items like beds and tables. The bottom and left doors are gone.
