I finished it, tell me what you think!

A Link to the Past

I’ve got an idea. Instead of a water-based level, I’ll create a wind/air/whatever you want to call it level! Those are definitely more fun, and it may even be fast-paced, but we’ll see about that. I’ve never really utilized this element to it’s best extent, so I might as well here. I haven’t done the tileset for it, I only have the concept for it, I think I’ll have to make music too..

Also, not really related to The Show, but I don’t really have anywhere else to put this. First of all, to HyMyNameIsMatt, that org for the Skyview Temple is not going well and I’m not inspired to work on it due to how bad it sounds. Anyway, I am, however, working on a song from A Link to the Past in org format. It’s a more obscure one, I’d say, but it’s incredibly underrated, and it’s one of my favorite Zelda songs. Dark Mountain Forest. I don’t have a ton of progress on it, but it’s going well so far.

Planning a water level, and the consequences thereof

olliejay — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:24:57 +0000

So, the next level I planned on making was going to be based on the magical element of water. I even got a little start on the level, had the tileset made, and I even made a background. Hell, I even made music for it. I rarely do that to be honest. But nevertheless, I’m not going to be making this level because of the way water levels are, at least in Cave Story. They are slow, boring, and just stupid and annoying to create. I’ve learned my lesson for sure, no more water levels for me! Which means I either have to come up with another element, or just take away a level from the complete game. What I’ll do about this, I don’t know yet, but I’ll update about this when it’s due.

Also, I’m going to start working on an org of the Skyview Temple theme from Zelda: Skyward Sword. Let’s see how that works out.

All new tileset

Yes, I realize my posts have been about tilesets lately, but I made a new one, it’s inspired by A Link to the Past, because I love Zelda that much and I wanted a reason to use my Dark World song.

I finished two tilesets, probably because they’re entirely similar, but just look at them! They took quit a long time, and look pretty good if I do say so myself. Anyway, tell me what you think!

Note: These tilesets are finished, so the tiles that are still 1x res aren’t used in the mod

Working on another version of Episode 1..

Also, Noxid, the creator of King Story and a bunch of other things like the 2x res hack, commented on one of my posts a while ago about it being seasons rather than episodes. Whether it was a joke or not, it’s a good idea, and I just might switch to that, as it gives me even more possibilities as to what I can do, and also gives a chance of more character and humor to The Show, so I’ll definitely look into it.

One more thing, the level 2-2 is getting an added extension to it!

The Show Episode 1 v1.1

olliejay — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 05:21:02 +0000

I made an updated version of The Show Episode 1 that fixes a few glitches, updates some graphics and also changes the levels very slightly. Play it if you’d like, but I just wanted to put this out there! Anyway, the download link is here:

Also, new orgs:

Two Legend of Zelda songs, Deku Palace from Majora’s Mask, and, as requested by HyMyNameIsMatt, Dark World from A Link to the Past!

Deku Palace

Dark World

Fun fact: They both start with D. :J

Omega, a bit of other stuff..

olliejay — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 06:14:48 +0000

While the graphics for Omega aren’t quite finished, I managed to nearly completely debug his battle while making it more cinematic to boot! Anyone who’s played up to that point probably realized how awful his battle was, it turns out all I needed to do was lower the floor and make his area smaller and there you go! He still has one glitch where he randomly flies into the sky and his health bar goes back up (Even though it’s at the same value as it was before) and then comes down again, not sure how to fix that, but otherwise he’s near perfect, and I’m proud of it! It’s also immensely more fun now, so I hope you look forward to that. In other news, I think I’ll release various bug patches and slight level redesigns for Episode 1 every once in a while, and you can expect one coming soon, so there’s another thing to look forward to if you really actually care to play through it again just because of less glitches and slightly different levels! Once I release the next one though, at least play the Omega fight to see how much better it is. Anyway, this is getting long, no more news to report, until next time, bye!

So I did some math and used addition..

The number of levels Episode 2 will have is twelve. Much less than Episode 1, but that’s to be expected. Episode 1 is the majority of The Show, Episode 2 could be seen as an epilogue of it, though it still will be pretty long, and the levels I’ve made so far are much longer than previous ones, so it might even come out to being of similar length.

..Don’t count on that though.
