New worldmap graphics


At long last, the worldmap graphics have been greatly improved! The map layout changed just a tiny bit, but no one’ll probably notice.

I’ve also overhauled the camera/ background scrolling system which took longer than expected. Unfortunately I’ve decided to wait with publishing the next version of the game. There’s not much more left to do, so I might as well make the next release a full release instead of a WIP.

Thanks for reading, and stay tuned!

Version 1.6.0 is now live, adding gamepad support and other QoL improvements, including... slopes!

I actually ran into a ton of bugs implementing all this, but it was well worth it.

Dungeon 5 is now completely finished! I'm about 25% done with the 2nd part of the game, so I'm slowly but surely making progress :D

I've added new enemies to dungeons 6 and 7, so they're now 100% done besides some polishing and bg graphics. This enemy is based on a well-known franchise, can you guess which one?

A floating dungeon high up in the sky... wind themed, of course.

I had this planned many years ago, so it's exciting to finally design it.

The world map's layout is now 100% done! Besides that I'm working on a new update that'll add more options to the game like rebinding keys.

New demo v0.9 adds gamepad support, among other things! This village, which has been unavailable since the first release, is now also explorable.

Good news: I recently discovered a project called GM8.2 Core that fixes a lot of issues with old Game Maker, which my games are based on. This means that I'm finally able to add gamepad support(!), along with other neat stuff.

I've redesigned some of the early game enemies, which means the game no longer has "borrowed" graphical assets. I'll release a demo with these changes and more next week.

New patch 1.9.0 includes an options menu allowing you to change controls, lower the difficulty and more! I've also added enemy healthbars, an extra keybind, improvements to controls and other minor fixes.

Happy Zelda month! Here's a short preview of the Shrink spell! As you can see, it's not very well suited for combat...
