[ZC] I can't draw 8 bit (Many images)

For those of you who have been wondering why I have been lazy and not been working on IM2, well, this is the reason why!

Since February I have been working on an unnamed zelda classic quest that the original plan was would try and be like the original zelda 1 but without all the bad parts! Since then I have been adding a whole bunch of other stuff in the end of the quest that is as far from zelda 1 as one could think, but hey, most of those things are in the bonus extra dungeons.

You can find the fall 2012 demo here: [Link]

List of what is done:
Dungeons 1-9
Over world map
HUD and status screen
Bonus dungeons
Trailer

What needs more work:
Final dungeon
Final boss
Extra boss
Item balancing
Raft paths

And here are some screenshots from it, ranging from very old to old, to new.

Now, I decided that as the quest was not really very serious at all in story/concept I would go with a silly name for it. And since all the graphics I wanted to make for it could not be done in NES standards I decided, why the fuck not? And went with it as the title for the quest! :P

Here, have the silly logo I made for it:

(no, this is not, nor will there be an, in game logo.)

Once I get done with the last few things that I listed earlier on in this post I will release it. Since I can't get anyone worthwhile to beta test it other then myself I'm going to assume I will have to release a 1.1 version quite soon afterward anyway. :P

I've already expressed interest in this quest (more than once). If you're looking for testers, I'll gladly volunteer.

It's a bit too late to do extensive beta testing now. :p
But if you got time then bother me on IRC and I'll set you up.

Which version of Zelda Classic did you build this quest in?
(I use ZC 1.92 and I doubt that this will work in it)

Lunaria

2.5 beta, I don't recall the specific version ID though. :p

Lunaria

At least this is one thing to scratch off my check list of things that needs to be done before I release.
The colours on things came out rather badly in the video though, compare to screenshots and you see what I mean.

Over on PureZC an expo is going on, in which I actually released a demo for this quest.

Just want the sweet things? Sure, have some new screenshots:

The demo should be played in Zelda classic 2.5: RC3 if you want it to function!

This looks amazing.  I might have to figure out what the hell kind of a process I have to go through to actually play it.  I take it there's some kind of a program I download from a scary site that will probably give me a virus and porn pop up?  When did I get so old?   :sad:

It's played with Zelda Classic, a program which can run custom, old school Zelda scenarios, which can be gotten here. The great thing is there are quite a few other custom scenarios out there you can play, besides Crys' work.
