Update (new patch 1.9.2): I've gotten some good feedback, and I've figured out why the d-pad doesn't work on some (most?) controllers. It's... a clumsy mistake on my part. Literally two lines of code was all it took to fix it. Whoops.
To explain, there are three types of gamepad functions in GM8: Buttons, axes (joysticks) and povs (d-pad). The axes and povs are hardcoded to movement and navigation, and somehow I forgot to add pov functionality to up/ down movement.
Patch 1.9.2 fixes that, adds the option to disable built-in gamepad support (incase you want to use external remapping software) and improves viewport scaling functionality.
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.
I redrew the main character (totally not Link)! Apparently, I drew the old sprite around 2009, so it was definitely time to update his looks.
After many monotonous & tedious hours, I've converted the game to 60 fps! This version (1.7.0) also includes some minor physics improvements and bugfixes. Enjoy!

Took a break from dungeon development to redo some old background graphics and add more detail to some areas.
I'll release a new demo with these changes and more in about a month or two.
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 #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!
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.
