Gonken and me have gotten back into ZC a bit. We have also come to the conclusion that ZC probably simply isn't suited for the next Twilight Princess and thus we have decided that we'll do something Classic instead. Because, Zelda Classic, right? We will keep you posted should this actually turn into a proper something. (If you feel that the dungeon screen looks greatly inspired by Peteo's work, you are right.)

I'll be helping Sheik with Dragonsoul while still maintaining Echoes of Aurelia as my main project. I'll be mostly spriting and designing overworld areas I guess.

I love it, Shiek! All though I hope you(s) do break the Z1 style a little bit on the overworld, like you did with the dungeon shot. icon_smile.gif Speaking of which, that dungeon shot reminds me of EoA's Skyforest Shrine and LI's Sky Garden*, and that's why I love it. icon_biggrin.gif

* I'm guessing this is one of Peteo's works that inspired you? It's one of the best dungeons in ZC after all (or at least, in my opinion. icon_razz.gif).

Not sure what it is you're doing, Sheik, but these screens are great.

Somehow they feel different from classic, even though it's not very much..

Seriously guys, this looks great. I love the classic yet not simple look you've got going there. I can't wait to see where this goes.

Love the classic design.

Other ones recieved no comments so here's an actual in progress quest one now that the tileset is more quest able so to speak. Simple screen but I liked it.

Nice palette, nice screen, and great graphic; I only have one complaint.

The aLTTP path you have there doesn't fit in with the other graphics too well. ( Style clash, if you will) Other than that, I really look forward to the final project. icon_smile.gif

@ Ducktape: Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated.

@ Shane: Nice, glad you like it. And yes, the main idea came from Skyforest Shrine and then I stumbled upon a screenshot of Peteo's Skygarden and couldn't resist to see whether I can turn it Classic. We will go a little beyond Classic on the overworld but not too much so.

@ Dragonite: Thank you for the comment, too. It's good too hear it doesn't feel much different from Classic. Robin told me that it looks as though someone went back in time and remade the first Zelda with their own mindset. C:

@ Russ: Well, Twilight Princess icon_razz.gif The plot of the game boils down to the opening lines which read "AWAKEN YOUNG HERO. THIS LAND NEEDS YOUR HELP." And then the rest is gameplay. There is a reason why Link is on his quest in Draconia and it gets explained in the game (if you are looking for it anyways) but the game doesn't focus on story telling much. I rather try to create a setting then a proper plot, I guess.

@ Ventus: Thank you for commenting, too! We (well, I at least icon_razz.gif) appreciate any feedback.

@ Jay: Cool, thanks man. About your tileset, it's looking quite nice. I'm not gonna lie that I like the colors (because I don't) but that's a matter of taste. On a second look I agree with the comment about the aLttP path. It looks kind of odd (or at least the big border does).

I made something (technically I made it, then Gonken made it, then I remade it)! I wasn't expecting so much feedback on those few simple screens, still here is a Dragonsoul userbar for you:

I understand where some people may not agree with the colors, but when you're color blind it's not easy to master that part of the graphics ! I try to do what I can based off already created palettes and common sense with the tile's the colors are already used for but that's about as much as I can do, and thanks I'll fix what I can !
