What's up with the holes? They look random and unnatural. It's like someone was bored and dug up a lot of the ground.

Good stuff otherwise. icon_smile.gif

NOTE: Some things are subject to change.

Good to see the set being used! The screens themselves are... okay. I guess they could work for a simple quest.

The screens are great, but that palette doesn't really do it much justice.

I could make a couple custom ones for you, if you'd like.

I realize it's artificial, but that straight segment of the river bugs me. The rest is cool.

Jared: It looks very nice. Most people tend to want to ignore the aspects of man-made architectural design and try to give even a castles a natural look. You did a good job.


I've been testing out different palettes I've recently made and designing a screen for each area just to give me a sense of what look I'll be aiming for. Here's some screenshots:

Thanks /M/! I really appreciate it. icon_smile.gif

Wow, those screens are amazing. Everything is just so perfect! Your Link tiles, the palettes...wow.

However, I must ask. Are these Zelda 1 screens we are looking at? They look quite similar! icon_smile.gif

Edit - I see a tile error in the bottom right on the last screen.

Thank you, Jared, and you were quick to spot that tile error, I didn't even notice it.


I should have known better to think you guys wouldn't notice the similarities to LoZ so quickly icon_razz.gif I've been tossing the idea around of remaking the 1st Quest but kind of differently than what most people have previously done. I was inspired by The Satelite's post in a topic in the General Entertainment thread titled: "Why Haven't Zelda 1 been remade yet?" I'm not sure if I want to go ahead and merge the ideas I had for a project I'm planning with that though.. We'll see.

Look great, /M/! Really dark and all. Anyways, I sincierly suggest using tMC waterfalls on the volcano screen. It all looks quite lovely indeed. I especially like the orange -> purple gradient in the last shot.

This area's overworld is 99% mapped : )

Love the lava colours, makes the lava look more realistic. hr[/hr]Here's sometime I've been making for a while (anyone recall the Game Boy dungeon shot I showed a while ago?), I was going to keep this secret for a little while longer but I decided against that.

IPB Image

There have been several complaints about the borders, and I'm working on adding more detail tiles next. But other then that, this is just a mere "made for fun" shot. The next shot I show off should be from the proper project I've planned for a while now.

The project's main gameplay element is Link collecting four souls from different races (these races are the Deku, Goron, Zora and Sheikah) and obtain the abilities. If you have the Goron Soul you'll be able to withstand hot areas. If you have the Zora Soul you can explore underwater. If you have the Sheikah Soul you'll be able to see invisible things. I haven't exactly thought out what the Deku Soul will do, but perhaps you'll be able to talk/interact with plants.

I hope this will give you some vision on what the game will be like. icon_wink.gif (I haven't forgotten about Legacy of Light by the way!)
