Wow, I haven't been back here in awhile.

I was looking back at some old stuff, realized how lame I was before, (hopefully I'm not as lame), and figured I should post a blog on some things I've been working on.

I'm not sure who'll read this, since 64D isn't that active anymore, but I'll give it a shot anyway.

OoT2D, Team Dekunutz:

Ah, those who've seen topics like this. You may be thinking, it'll fail like all the others. Well I'm here to tell you that you are wrong (jk). It'll stop depending on when we lose motivation, but having such a large team does help.

The Team:

Xfixium - Lead Programmer/ Lead Spriter

Ethelon (me) - Tiler/ Spriter/Concepts

Cypras - Programmer

Noseblunt3 - Spriter

Sinkin Devil - Spriter

Tompel - Spriter/Tiler

Mamoruanime - Tiler

DJvenom - Spriter/Concept Art

Screenshot: Menu Engine:

Basically we're going more FSA style, so it looks cooler, and so far everything runs very well. There's tons of code already, but it all runs smoothly, the rooms being loaded from binary files externally.

A bunch of old screenshots over at the zfgc topic, maybe when I have more time I'll post some more here:

Lefaeon:

I've been working graphically on what could be a platform mmorpg. It's pretty much all vectors, and would be coded by Gamr, but he's taking a break from GM and whatnot.

Here's the skill window example with duplicate icons to show the style:

Yeah, and I guess that's basically it.

Thanks for reading.

I say if you're going to do a Zelda clone, at least take the Four Swords Adventures approach, adding in sweet effects that enhance (but still match) the graphical style. I see you're trying for the graphical style, but make sure you add in those effects. Those were the best part of that game.

Well, have fun before you inevitably get your cease & desist letter from Nintendo.

@Cesque - I torrented that movie back in February. I really fail to see why Nintendo actually cared, it's not like they were getting money for the movie.

Anyway the game looks nice.

Yeah I saw that video too…

If they tell us then we'll stop. Either way, there IS a Nintendo Community Fan Convention (NCFC) that's basically a competition of nintendo fan games. I think it's run by Nintendo, though I'm not completely positive. Whatever happens will happen, we're not worried about that too much at the moment.

Thanks Alert
