The River of Destiny Announcement and Demo Release

[Floundermaj]

I'm pleased to announce an update to my Demo:

The Legend of Zelda: The River of Destiny

This is a Story Driven quest using a Modified Pure tileset, designed for ZC 2.5.

This Demo progresses the quest a lot further than the last one, and actually allows you to explore a large part of the first overworld.

Watch this thread for more.

I'm also releasing today a Demo that strictly covers the First Major Dungeon, Level 1 - Goriya Lair. After the Title screen, you will be warped to the Level entrance and the demo will end when you leave the Dungeon after obtaining the Pendant of Wisdom. Link has been pre-equipped with everything he would normally have at this stage, plus 3 extra bottles of Purple Potion. This Demo is primarily for the purpose of testing Level 1.

Don't forget to look at the readme file.

Share and enjoy!

Anyone try this yet? I was hoping for some feedback....

This quest looks like it'll be completely amazing. The scripted buttons are cool (although a bit awkward if you don't change the configuration), the story, graphics and mechanics are pretty neat, and I really liked the humor. I can't wait for it to be finished!

Wow, that was really great. I wish there was more to it. If you want more attention you might want to dress up your original post to be more appealing. At least add a screenshot or two and a bit of info.

This looks so cool. Like Succesor said, "I wish there was more to it." What little bit there was is going to leave me on the edge of my sear wishing for more, and waiting for the full quest. If you need a beta tester i would love to volunteer as one for you. I have done some testing before, but that was before my old laptop died suddenly. I would love to do it again for you.

Demo has been updated and I've added some screenshots. Please let me know what you think!

I dig this. The concept of going underwater for artifacts and such was great. The dungeon was great. It took me a while to figure out that "What is Right is never wrong" block puzzle. Very cool stuff. I especially enjoy all of the Zelda II references.

Very enjoyable demo. It made me very excited about seeing the full quest. That's exactly what a demo should do so, bravo! How far along is the quest?

[Floundermaj]

I probably only have about 15-20% of the quest done.... All the overworlds are complete, but I haven't started any of the major dungeons, and many other interiors are not started either. I've spent a lot of time scripting, and not enough time building. I also wish I picked a more complete tileset. I find that I'm ripping a lot from other tilesets. I really need to plan out the dungeons, because that's the next big thing I need to do.

I'm curious though, did anyone get stuck in the jail cell right after Link was thrown into the dungeon? I half expected to get some replies telling me the demo was broken because there was no way out of the jail. Was it that easy to figure out?

edit: Also, I'm very proud of the custom map screens and functionality... any feedback on that? That is probably the most complex script I've developed to date, it took a lot of time to get right, but I hope it was worth it.

I was having problems with it but I switched to another window to do something and it chimed the secret sound. I figured you have to wait without doing anything for a certain amount of time?
