Polished beta testing is more or less complete. There are some quirky things remaining, but nothing with a good effort / reward ratio at this point. The only things left to do are:
1) Add additional content (alternative endings, boss rush, TGL mode)
and
2) Correct any major bugs someone finds that none of my testers located, of course.
And, I have a solution to the quest loading process. Go here:
https://www.purezc.net/index.php?page=projects§ion=downloads&id=557If you get the drop-boxed documents, everything you need is right there and you just have to point and click. Run the "!!!!RUN ME!!!!" file and start a quest and off you go. There's no need to muck around with the qst loading screen at all. Now, you probably still want to configure your sound and controls (I use 50% SFX to music ratio and I configure controls like an original SNES controller) but that's up to your tastes.
Couldn't be easier!
