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!

I tried redrawing the warrior class (new sprite is on the left). What do you think, should I use this new style for the rest of the classes/ humanoid sprites?

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?

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.

Hookshot time! This took many hours to get right, but I think it'll make for some fun level design despite its simplicity!

On that note, the 5th dungeon is almost finished, I just have to add a boss at the end. Thanks for watching/ reading, more to come!

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!

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.

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

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