The Haunted Shipwreck, which in reviewing my footage, might have a few more problems than I realized.
All fixed. (Unless there's something with the Gleeok I didn't notice?)
No, it's just Gleook being Gleook while I still have my toy sword.

Got something, and got... Something.

The best to report now:

Thanks to this shop format, I can't buy the rightmost item.


And the worst: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ruU5XRFWA
Editing would have made this easier to watch. Or using the timestamps in the description.

Thanks for what looks like a comprehensive video. I'm pretty confident that this dungeon needs enemy adjustments as well. I probably won't get to this debug session until the 11th, but the boss is in

lakitu_test.qst

in the Dungeon 5 folder on Dropbox if you want to play it.

Nimono wasn't sure if he wanted to have shields be edible or not (leaning no) but if they are edible in the final, there will be a shield refreshment thing available. And I think we can all agree that an invisible target game is pretty silly, especially when the blocks break on solids! I also can't help but notice that you keep trying to use the sword button to lift stones -- something global like that would be pretty convenient! One day.

Nah, it was just me not used to the controls of the gloves yet, especially with the button combinations on how to lift them.

Also, looking in ZQ, I think the targets we supposed to be visible (and obvious).

CodeGorilla's original version had a very basic screen where you destroy 4 visible static targets and get a key that you need on the screen above. When I first did the revamp of Level 5, I thought I'd make them invisible to make the screen at least challenging. In retrospect, I should have just removed the lock and the key. (And anticipated that I'd script the blocks to break on solids. :D ) Instead, I'll make it some sort of healing screen.

The next update will have some fixes for Level 7 as well.

Two videos in one update! :^)

When did this game became a platformer now?



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj91TzGWe74
First is the actual dungeon 5 boss.

Second is the 6th dungeon. Be warned: short term memory skills were bad here. Timestamps in the description is very useful here.

Yeah in Promin Cliffs Patra was supposed to be a placeholder for an actual boss vulnerable to arrows, then was supposed to be a special Patra vulnerable to arrows (because you can't normally fire sword beams when injured), then I lost all my drive to actually work on Promin Cliffs. :/

Is there anything before the 7th dungeon that I need to tackle, beside the hookshot demi-dungeon? Because when I was playing through that dungeon for scouting, it was bad, and in more than the bugs.

About three years ago!

I don't think there's anything other than the Hookshot mini left for you prior to Level 7. You could do Level 8? (But the whole thing is getting an overhaul, including the boss which is missing a couple scripted attacks.) I should say, the guy in the town there also has new lines depending on Shards.

Two things after playing through the game a bit before I got stuck:
1. Where is the boomerang dungeon?
2. Can you make the sidescrolling screens in the 7th dungeon easier? I keep falling through the moving platforms way too many times.

The Boomerang mini is on the first overworld, in the southwest. Screen 74. But it needs some changes coming sometime today. Same with Level 7, including the sideview section.

Then do I wait for the update, or just skip over to the 8th dungeon?

I just played the "Concrete Jungle" up until I got stuck within the 3rd section of it. Should I record it all up to the point I got stuck or just give you the list of the problems I'd encountered?

A list is fine. I'm sure I know some of it.

Alright, but I forgot screencaps, so the list so far as I remember:
  • The arrow shooting room barring off the access to the rest of the second part is sort of broken: The door is left open, and the half-tile blocks that are supposed to disappear are black squares instead.
  • The second boomerang puzzle room can be cheesed with the boomerang hitting the top switch with the return trip on the walkway, ignoring the projectile blockers.
  • Might not be a problem, but there is a tile with a Gorma/the cyclops crab in one of the rooms (I don't remember where)
  • The stairway to the boss key in the second section might not really obvious that it needs a block to move (It might just be me). The lack of compass emphasize the problem.
  • The moving platform in the room with the entrance to the third section has a vacuum effect (easy to get to but hard to get out) specifically on the left tile. Same with the one with the compass except on the top tiles.
  • Again, I keep falling through the moving platform on the sideview section, except 100% of the time. This part is what stopped my progress.
  • A nitpick, but sometimes, the chakram flying sound keeps on going indefinitely after it just return to me until I throw it again on a shorter throw. It might be related to how long it's been out.

Just a heads-up that I still exist and will get back to this before too much longer.

Nope!

It's just a really delayed dream. In fact, you're having some trouble even getting to sleep in the first place, so you roll over to grab your cellular phone from the nightstand. But you see a ... shape on the ground, out the corner of your eye. It stares at you, as you stare back, too scared to speak, too scared to remain silent. After a time, you roll back into bed, over onto your other side, staring now at the wall opposite. Sleep comes, fleetingly. You dream of the shape, playing a video game.

That game is AZCT, and you can't help but think that it looks pretty neat. But the shape missed a key in the previous room, and that's annoying. Think about popsicles. It's okay. There you go.
