      @@arnpoly This reminds me of something I started work on but never finished, that being a "mega-dungeon" (1, or I guess 2, dungeon(s) taking up the entire map) hack, so this is really cool to see and I look forward to playing it later today. By "more to come" do you mean updates to this? Or a new project?

    I hope Lack is gonna do some randomizers again, too, cuz i love using my brains even while watching others :D
    I'll be watching you more often again here, cuz i've been away from your channel for a while, guess i can be burned out, and return after a while.

      If you dig this, check out Infinite Hyrule and Fred Coughlin's Zelda 1 Randomizer. They will totally randomize the overworld and the dungeons. Run your rom through Z1R first, then Infinite Hyrule, and you have a whole new quest.

    So Cool! I'm glad i found your channel. I subbed and I'll try to catch your next stream.
    However, maybe it's my audio-nerd talking but for future videos/streams, it would be great if you had a better microphone set up.
    The flanging on your voice (likely due to proximity to your desk or the pickup pattern of the microphone) can be fatiguing on the ears, especially over long periods of time.
