I posted this at TEK, so i might as well here.

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 LIGHT WORLD---------------------------------











---------------------------------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.

Okay, the screens alone redeemed my opinion of TEK, and that's saying a lot. Keep up the good work, looking forward to this.

Sweetness. And ASM upgrades? New bosses? New items? A new ability for Link! Seems I have some competition in the 'screw up a game as much as humanly possible' category

You've done very well, and I look forward to the new stuff you'll put in. Anyone with half a brain can edit some levels, but it seems like oyu want to take things a step further, and I applaud you for that effort. I eagerly await the release of this quest.

Also, I've been planning to dissect the SPC chip in order to write my own music for Super Metroid. Perhaps after I've done that I can help you out with the music to this game, assuming I have time of course

What's with the skinny trees? They look like junk.

Other than that, it looks like great fun. I will definitely play through this when it's completed.

Usually I ignore progress threads of games I'm not that interested in hacking, but I'm glad I decided to click on this thread now. It actually looks very sweet indeed.

Juggling Joker: The trees are from the original game, I believe.

Edit- Oh wait, I see them now. Yeah, they do look like junk.

The screenshots look great, but like Dan and JJ said, the skinny tree doesn't look good.

Whats with all the hatin on the little trees??? they are cool. Well, some people think they are. Not to worry, there are very few in the game. I use them where a regular tree wouldnt fit.

Anyways, other than that, thx for the encouragement. Dont forget to check in soon for a secret projects unveiling.

Looking real good. I have an idea for the small trees, make them smaller. They are skinny, but they are still long, making it look like a hippopotamus or something. Just a thought.

This thread seems to be going off topic. Ill consider changing the small trees later on. For now, other input would be more helpful.

Besides asking for a new palette possibility for the overworld... I really cant think of much to constructively criticise you on...

Its coming along great from the last update too, so... keep on working

You really like that King Helmasaur, don't you?

Four hearts for him? Brutal. Unless you were just going through the game to go through it at that point.

Or is there some ASM hacking going on here so it isn't as hard as it seems?

Well besides my "old" input at Tek for this game, you definitely know I'm looking forward to this.

Extremely nice update Omega, this is really going to be major here.

Input? Just keep up the awesome work.

Yup, i suppose input isnt gonna do much at this point. The game is too far along to change a lot of things. Either way, its gonna be great.

As for the music, if you want to help, i have some songs that i would really like to see in DP that would need to be ported. If your looking to do something origional, Id say you have till about mid febuary 05 to get everything done. We should talk online to get this figured out.

Awesome work, Omega! This has really been worked on since last time.

Overworld: You've done great work here. Nevermind what people say about that three, it's looking ok. Nothing bad to say at all,with exception of the... uh... church's second entrance in the second pic... Can you even enter/exit that one? Other than that, I can't see anything wrong with the pics.


Dungeons: Mostly, the pics look good. But there are some things to mention here. I go through them all:

- 1: Yellow ice? I think you should fix that...

- 2: Looks good.

- 3: Great!

- 4: What happened to the bottom part of the screen? Are the tiles supposed to be glass? Just wondering...

- 5: This screen reminds me of one of the rooms in the original version's ice dungeon. If it isn't the same...

- 6: What's the black tiles for? Otherwise, good.

- 7 - 11: These look good, nothing wrong on them.

- 12: The black floor here looks weird.

- 13 - 16: Nothing wrong with these, they are great!


And all of the three extra screens are fantastic! Of course, you don't have to listen to my advices. I just told you them in case you wanted to... eh... do something more. Anyway, keep it up. This hack is going to be great!

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.
