A new year approaches...  PROGRESS UPDATE! DECEMBER 30, 2018
Some of these were made a few weeks ago, but I almost forgot to post one! - Temples? Redesigned. Except for the first one.
Yes, my art style is somewhat confusing. Also, take a look at the gorgeous sky (and sun) that is made by me!
I can't be bothered to remove the border. My internet is literally the worst. And no, that white dot with orange glow isn't included for the locked temple, that's the custom cursor - Also changed up the 4th temple. This time, it's a mystery!
- Music changed up... a bit.
Other Stuffs
- The very last progress update for CMZM in 2018. See you next year!
As usual, be patient!

I would like to apologize because of how slow the progress is. However, I am trying to continue on. PROGRESS UPDATE...? JANUARY 12, 2019 (happy birthday Caffeine)
Oh boy... - Lunatic Progress
I am trying to verify Seigneurs' Lunatic, although it can be considered as a base, or just omit it. I am not an amazing expert like Skylar or Dom, so I'm afraid Lunatic might be a bit more delayed than Easy due to skill level problems - and I can't bug Iam now and then, studies come to mind first. - Trying to find new sound effects to grab.[Note 1] If you are part of the CMZM team, you will notice that the chime1 sound effect is getting annoying and irritating. I am trying to find new sound effects, including replacing accuracy and slowdown, and maybe some new ones.
- chime1 - Custom sound effect by Yalek
- slowdown1 - Trauma Center: New Blood Healing Touch activation
- accuracy3 - Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 Healing Touch activation
- chant1 - The default chant1 with some effects and Rhythm Heaven sound effects on it.
- Music changed up... Once more![Note 2]
Notes
- Note 1: Currently finding Zuma's Revenge! (XBLA) sound files that have no music in them and isn't overlayed by another sound. I really think ZR(XBLA)'s chime1 could sound good, but balldestroyedn (n - number) will overlay it. I almost found a good one for the Accuracy sound effect, but is overlayed by another sound. I have asked someone to extract them for me, who has extracted Bejeweled Blitz LIVE data, you might know him - it's BoggY. However, BBLive's .rsb files have no similar archive protection from Zuma's Revenge (XBLA)'s, so he will have to make yet another QuickBMS script, and it takes time. For now, I might use other sound effects, or keep the annoying ones. Feel free to submit sound effects, they're very appreciated!
- Note 2: chant2 is now a silence and Position 38 (You Win) now mimics one of Zuma's Revenge "Level Complete" patterns. Over a few couple of progress updates, I added MORE patterns and seperators to accomodate Zuma's music file. The way this works is Zuma Deluxe finds for specific positions in the mo3 file to use. I am willing to share this, and as follows, these are the positions (NOT PATTERNS!) Zuma uses for each music, and too much / too low position count will result in the game picking random positions, so it's best to follow:
- Positions 0 to 23: Ingame
- Positions 24, 25, 26, 27: Loading Screen
- Positions 28, 29, 30, 31: Main Menu
- Positions 32, 33: Adventure
- Positions 34, 35: Gauntlet
- Positions 36, 37: Danger
- Positions 38: Level Complete
- Positions 39, 40: Game Over
- You can reduce a track to a fewer number via the Bxx macro and the use of separators. Shall you use this trick, you can extend a track with the cost of other tracks' length to shorten.
As usual, be patient! |

I could've put this on the progress update post, but someone has seen it already so lol Post-Release Plans:- Translations...if only. French/Italian/German/Spanish/Swedish/Dutch translations are possible though - not sure about Polish and others that use Latin alphabets with extra ones like Ł due to PopCap Framework tool limitations. A Japanese translation though, if even someone knew Japanese, is just outright impossible.
Why am I trying anyway? because:- Zuma Deluxe Japanese is rare, just like the other PopCap games with Japanese translations. Well, unless you dug up in Big Fish Games without trying to do that. Yarr.
- Not all characters are supported. Like, why?
am not a wiyabu plz dont attack meeeeeeee- As an example, I used Google Translate to test it out. Using "Online Limitations" as a test, it's translated as
オンライン制限 (Onrain seigen) - Using オンライン制限 -
  - Using オンラインせいげん -
 
- Trying to find the correct characters? Notepad++ can take care of Kana/Kanji in level names, but hope that kana/kanji is in that image.
- Even if you use the Non-English ver (FR/IT/DE/ES/SV/NL), good luck because you can only fit the entire Hiragana, some Katakana, some punctuation and no Kanji at all.
- Font editing is messy. If you replace a font it will disappear in the game.
- Of course, release RNG Puzzler after the release!
- Make several downloads. I know this will just involve the launcher, but chances are people downloaded Zuma from other sources, and thus the current launcher is just restricted to popcapgame1.exe from the PopCap DRM. It won't just have the launcher though, but the assets as well, so you don't have to suffer.

PROGRESS UPDATE! JANUARY 14, 2019
- Redesigns on the way!
...Not all levels though, obviously. One remaster is made by OrangeBunny. Some levels got their name changed, and one got a new path (completely based on their original path but couldn't be done due to past issues, but now, have a mystery.
 - New fonts. Now we're moving on!
As usual, be patient!
