[Winter 08] Island of Dreams

I can't remember the last time I posted anything about Island of Dreams here, so here I go!

For those of you who don't know, Island of Dreams is a revamp of Link's Awakening. Several things have been changed, but overall, it's about the same.

Anyway, the demo I have contains everything up to level 1. I think the only thing you really need to know, is that you can use the R button to do just about anything and everything. Read signs/books, talk to people, use the Magic Powder, Buy things, etc.

It might help generate attention if you post some screenshots. Particularly since you have a quest that is quite visually appealing.

In fact, I'll go ahead and do it for you, because I like how your quest is shaping up.

I didn't know you liked to swim, Mr. Octorok!

Of course, all of those shots make it painfully obvious that I am a complete idiot and missed the shield.:nerd:

EDIT: A minor recurring bug.

If you hold a direction at the end of reading a string, you will sometimes scroll to another screen.

Thanks for posting screenshots for me, I feel like an idiot for not posting them myself. :tongue: And I didn't know about that bug there... I'll fix it though. 😊 Hmm... Now something I didn't realize though, is that the Rupee icon, B Button, and map all use level-dependant Csets... That's gotta be fixed too.

Beta Link, you did an excellent job recreating the world of LA. The graphics are superb, but the game is a little glitchy. For example, quitting/saving in the forest will permanently place you in the water. And I suggest you spell "Equipment" correctly in the subscreen. 😛

Your screens are looking very good, I'm actually very tempted to play the demo.
Which doesn't happen to often.

Also, it's nice to see some of my things used 😊
There's the Mystery Trees and the Pothole script, and I wrote one for pressing start on the title screen too, although I'm not sure whether that's mine.
Anyway, I appreciate you using them ^_^

Heh, thanks Joe. 😊 Actually, that title screen script is one of mine. Just about everyone has made one, though, right? And I didn't know you were the one who edited those trees, they're superb! 😊 I found them in the new DoR tileset, and I thought "Hey! It's those trees, but 5x better! Yay!". :tongue:

And I spelled "equipment" wrong!? Jeez, I gotta go fix that right now. And there's a continue bug too? Well that's not really suprising. :tongue: I'll go fix that one too. And thanks for your compliments too! It's always nice to hear good things about my game. 😊
