The posts on the forums so far have been very helpful, I honestly wasn't expecting the game to run so well on low and mid end PC's, Ryan has done a Hell of a job programming this.

Quadrant L11 is complete
Not much here other then our first glimpse of the river that feeds into Martha's Bay

3d Links Awakening Quadrant update 74
Quadrant K11 is complete
This quadrant is located directly beneath the Shell Shrine, other then that, not much to talk about.
I believe I may have a solution for the "Martha's bay is 8 units below the Prairie and 80 units above the beach" problem, but we will see more on that when I get to work on the bay.
For those wondering, the village is at an elevation of 0 units, the Prairie is (mostly) at an elevation of -16 units, sea level is at an elevation of -144, and the part of the beach that connects to the bay is at an elevation of -104 units. 8 units is about half the height of a cliff face, or as high as the half cliff in the above picture.
The reason why sea level is at a negative number instead of 0 is because I started modeling the village first, and my programmer has told me to stop moving models around as it messes with his work, so I can't elevate everything to make the sea level be at elevation 0

Again, not much here, but that won't last long, most of the remaining quadrants in this area are full of cliffs.

Quadrant F12 is complete
The entrance to Level 3, the Key Cavern, the actual entrance isn't as showy as the gameboy version, but it's 1:43am and I didn't want to mess around with the cliffs any more then I had to. (I will probably go back and fix it up later)
For those that don't know, I live in Washington and will most likely be attending Sakura-Con this year, I don't know how many people other then my 13 watchers actually read/follow this blog, so I don't know how many of you live in Washington or plan on attending, but if any of you do, feel free to hit me up if you see me (I will post a picture of what I will be wearing for most of the time when Con gets closer) I always love to hear from readers, I may not reply often, but I do love seeing that I have new comments.

Quadrant I11 is complete
Not much here, another relatively empty quadrant.
Because it was requested, here are 3 shots of the inter island as is, unless blogger messed with them, they should be 4000x3000 in size, have fun
Really hard fitting the entire island in frame...

It's funny, when you play the original game, you notice what all of these cliffs would mean for the island elevation-wise, I honestly don't know if Martha's Bay is supposed to be at sea-level, or if it empties into the sea via waterfalls...

3d Links Awakening Quadrant update 62, 63, & 64 I'm not dead edition
Bah, been busy the last few week(s!) totally forgot to post these, regular updates should resume tomorrow/today/Sunday/when ever I wake up :P
Quadrant H9, here you find the honey comb (well, not yet) an item in the trading sequence that eventually leads to the boomerang
Quadrant H10, location of a giant stone pig head (again, not yet) and serves as a shortcut to the castle
Quadrant E12, this area serves as the entrance to the Sign Post Maze.
Thats all for now, I'm going to bed, more work/updates once I wake up

Morning Double Post Time Go!
Quadrant G9, much like G10, lots of holes for Pincer beasts to pop out of
Quadrant E11, this is the entrance to the sign post maze. It looks messy, but there is a reason for that.

3d Links Awakening Quadrant update 59
Last update of the day, quadrant E11 is complete
Once again, cliffs make me mess around with elevation. One day I will destroy the cliffs. One day.
In a few weeks I will split the blog up into three separate ones:
mithosk-games_la will be for the Zelda updates
mithosk-games_helix will be for Metroid updates
mithosk-games_dl will be for projects using original characters (Won't be many/any updates till LA and/or Helix are close to completion)
This split will effect the URL for this blog, changing it to http://www.mithosk-games_la.blogspot.com and the current URL will no longer work, I will give notice when I'm a few days from the split so you will know when to start using the new URL's.

First up is Quadrant G10, this area is filled with pits that pincer worms tend to live in
And Quadrant F11, this area is right above the entrance to the third level

Once more with feeling. I. HATE. CLIFFS! not so bad this time around, needed to lower the elevation of quadrants E10 and F10 a bit, what I am really dreading is getting Martha's Bay to line up with both the prairie and the beach, since they are at radically different elevations.

Not much here other then the first teleporter you find in your quest, which makes moving about the (rather large) island much less of a hassle.
(as a side note, apparently teleporter isn't a word according to blogger's spellchecker)

This quadrant is located just East of the Mabe village shop and acts as the border between the village and the prairie.
Should I start doing Helix related updates as well? Or should I just continue to work in the dark, throwing out occasional teasers until I have a bit more to show?
