Well, its been a while since there has been an update, and since so few seem to appreciate the work that has gone into this, i have decided to post a ton of pics! What better way to spread the word.

First off, me and Dudeman have opted to delay Zelda: Dark Prophecy until early next year in favour of some major ASM upgrades such as a new Gannon battle, new bosses, new items, and perhaps even a new ability for Link! Look for it during march next year.

Progress update: Dark Prophecy has been in development for about 6 months now, and, amazing progress has been made. This is where things stand right now.

Overworlds - COMPLETE (Total of 132 screens!!!)
Dungeons - 10 of 13 complete, with 2 minidungeons complete
Story - Main idea complete, no story integrated into rom as of now
Sidequests - Many on the way, some complete. Probably about 25% done
Houses - 10% done. Wont take long at all.
Caves - 50% complete, includeing huge caverns that span the length of the overworld (known as THE HIVE).
Music - 0% Still looking for someone. If you think you can help, PM me.
Presentation - Main screens, save screens, ect, 10%. Last priority

As you can see, the game is comming along nicely. This hack doesnt seem to be on anyones mind, and it really should be, especially since it is showing so much promise of actually being completed.

Now, LET THE PICS BEGIN!!!

---------------------------------THE DARK WORLD---------------------------------

---------------------------------THE DUNGEONS---------------------------------

---------------------------------THE EXTRAS---------------------------------

A complete dungeon screen from the water dungeon as seen in Hyrule Magic. Should make for a good dungeon.

The complete Pyramids as seen in Hyrule Magic. Unlike in Zelda 3, the Pyramids in DP span more than one area, and contain a dungeon inside. Each level is a floor, and you can only access each floor from the overworld. It makes for some very interesting puzzles.

A light world area that is basically used as a connector to several main areas like the old castle, and the Ancient Labyrinth.

I hope you guys enjoyed it. A TON of work has gone into this project so that it could be this good. Keep your eyes open for more news to come in the next few weeks regarding DP and a new unrelated secret project under development for christmas.<hr></blockquote>

Omega45889 Posts: 228/335	Yah, there are several mini bosses as of right now, but no new bosses have been added yet. If/When i get around to programming them in, they wont appear as mini bosses, but as main bosses only. I am gonna concentrate on the gannon battle first, then work on a different boss if there is time. BTW, im not doing the ASM personally. Someone else is, and they are free to say so if they wish, however, i think their keepin it pretty low key at the moment.
Chibi Gatomon Posts: 36/85	okay then how many other mini bosses will there be besides Helmasaur King? maybe Armos Knights or Moldworm?
Omega45889 Posts: 226/335	I have some beta testers, but, i will probably hold some sort of signup thing for the final beta test. Probably not to many people. Just 10 or so. Ill make a thread about it in a few months.
ziratha Posts: 45/231	have you laready got your beta testers? if not then i wanna be one.
Omega45889 Posts: 225/335	Yah, its been a lot of work, but i intend to finish it. As for the headers, they wont work in dungeons other than gannons castle unless you enable them through asm. Thats being worked on though.
Rockman Posts: 68/250	Kudos to you guys for getting the project this far. Zelda 3 is a very big project to tackle. Good job.
Chibi Gatomon Posts: 35/85	cool Omega, I could see this come in handy, that or I check the headers for the miniboss rooms in Gannon's Tower and try to fit them in the other dungeons such as the light world palaces
Digi-ex Posts: 7/22	Thnaks Omega.
Omega45889 Posts: 224/335	Yah, there are a few ways of doing this. There is a certain header that allows you to kill the boss without giving you a heart. However, before this header was limited to gannons castle for the minibosses, but through asm, it will be available for the rest of the dungeons. Another way, is to keep all the doors open, just have the boss block the way through, and then place an invisible stalfos somewhere in the room you wont be able to get to (in a wall or somethin). This causes you to not recieve a heart for the battle. As for the water dungeon shot, i just used tile 0C9 and put it on layer 2.
Chibi Gatomon Posts: 34/85	just a question, since Helmassaur King is a mini boss will you make it so he doesn't drop a heart piece if you kill him?
Digi-ex Posts: 5/22	Your Water Dungeon shot, how did you make the water transparent?, what tile is Awesome looking, can't wait
DarkSlaya Posts: 2786/4249	Good to see some progress in this hack. Now, I'll go download a LttP rom, to be ready whenever you release this hack
Omega45889 Posts: 223/335	The game is scheduled for release early next year. I dont think a demo is really worth my time at this point. There will be something cool happening this year though.
s009 Posts: 7/66	Is there going to be a demo to play it or we have to wait until it is done.
The Sage Of Time Posts: 8/46	Originally posted by DurfarC - 12: The black floor here looks weird. Fairly positive it's suppose to be a bottomless pit with an invisible bridge over it. If you remember from the original game, the same concept was used, and you had to cast Ether in order to see the path before you.
MathOnNapkins Posts: 1107/2189	edit: lol okay now there is.
DurfarC Posts: 197/483	Originally posted by Kario Originally posted by DurfarC - 6: What's the black tiles for? Otherwise, good. 6. Have you ever played the real LttP? 12. Same as 6. You know, that was a bloody insult. Really. I forgot to tell, that I of course will try this hack when it's released. Edit: Oops, I clicked the wrong button back there. Now the post is right.
Kario Posts: 858/2082	DurfarC, I am going to address what you had down as problems.... Originally posted by DurfarC - 1: Yellow ice? I think you should fix that... - 4: What happened to the bottom part of the screen? Are the tiles supposed to be glass? Just wondering... - 6: What's the black tiles for? Otherwise, good. - 12: The black floor here looks weird. 1. There is no yellow ice, unless your talking about the yellow wall things, which could be anything. Not just ice. It could be drapes or something. 4. No, he posted a pic of a messed up part of the game. 6. Have you ever played the real LttP? 12. Same as 6.
Omega45889 Posts: 222/335	Thx alot. I may be altering some of the areas nearing release, and based on the beta testers opinions. It really must be played to decide wether these things work well or not. As for the churches 2nd entrance, you can exit from it. I have to iron out a few bugs, otherwise, it will be removed from the final.
Chibi Gatomon Posts: 33/85	wow Omega I'm impressed by your Zelda 3 hack, I so wanna play this once it's ready
