Hey, if my cameo appears in a house of his own, can you add a poster to the wall with this:

Uh.. Den outa of Den!

-Egoraptor

Actually, I have you planned to appear in a public place, reading a book. However, I haven't chosen words for your character to say. So... do you want to quote that from a book (or something) when Link talks to you?

Well, if you don't have anything already planned for me to say, you can just have me saying either:

This is the boopiniest book ever!

or

Uh.. dis book is gud. Den out of Den!

or maybe you can even have both

[klop422]

Can I be there? Make me a random guy called HA9 or Kinek.
I could look Like a Link in red clothes, with a darker skin tone, and without a hat. Make me say something wierd and Hail from the Gorons of Death mountains and all sort of stuff. I want some sort of link with Gorons.

[Lightwulf]

@Ica44: Nice! I'll implement that!

@klop422: Kinek sounds better.
You know, it's funny, I've taken quite an interest in Gorons lately (probably because of watching the Snowfall portion of Majora's Mask) and one thing I was considering was making a Goron Link, primarily with the hat and maybe the gloves, too.
Is that something you would like? Or should I just stick with a Link-like character talking about Gorons?

[klop422]

I don't mind. just make sure that the Goron link
An interest in gorons hm? I just completed the Fire Temple in OOT. Gorons are the most awesome species in Zelda. Ever. In my opinion.

Anyway...
HA9 is my usual player character name in Zelda games
Kinek was an Idea for a name to give to a possible second player character in a Zelda game. I was originally planning on actually making a Zelda game of my own. I may make a thread about that sometime. Kinek was one of the three Playable characters, and one of the two who you must unlock. He was linked (pun not intended) to gorons. I got the name by playng around with the word "connect" as it is a synonym of "link"...

You chose what you want

Is it too late for me to have a cameo???

Name: Glitch
Sprite: Pikachu. Possibly from explorers of time/darkness/sky?
Saying: Noooo! I'm a Pokemon again!

[Lightwulf]

@klop422: It's alright; if you prefer HA9, then it will be HA9. And to save time, I'm just going to go with your initial suggestion about a Link lookalike with no hat.

@ABH15: Nope. Not too late. I've left plenty of room.
I haven't seen those games before. I haven't even visited the DS section of Spriters Resource before! They only had Pokemon Mystery Dungeons 2 and 3, so I got the sprite sheet from 2. I'll see what I can do (though it won't be hard for me).

[TheLegend_njf]

Did you ever add my character?

[Lightwulf]

Sure did, Cole!

If you play my Demo 2.1 from the recent Expo, when you reach the end of the raft tour, you will find a whole bunch of cameo characters on what I call End-of-Demo Island. Your character is an eyeball combo at the base of the island, near the raft dock.

Also, (not that anyone but me can see it right now) I've already placed him in Lost Traveler Town in the full quest.

Sorry I didn't indicate it here. Yours was the only request that I received by PM. Good thing you asked!

Speaking of the Demo, for those of you that are interested, here's a list of character cameos and their locations in the Demo. Please note that they will not be in the exact same locations in the final quest; however, a few are shown on the islands that you will find them on.

Demo Cameo Character Locations:

Falbi's~ House, in Fyer's~ room: (from left to right, top row to bottom row)
Cigarhead Bobman, Oni Luna(the Nolornbon brothers)
Gigiddy, Cukeman, Ica44
Jared, Fyer*~, FefeRawft

Second Overworld Map:
- Sheltered Island, Screen 2C: Zephyr_Eevee (the one on the right side of the island)
- Harbor Island, Screen 4B: SpacemanDan (top row, second from the left; he's the one that's laughing)

Seafarer Market, top-right screen:
Shiek91(Yoshimi/Shiek)

Haunted Lighthouse (Level 8 ):
Ventus

End-of-Demo Island: (from left to right, top row to bottom row)
PokemonMaster64(Moosh), Shane
-DuCkTApE-, Orin XD, Fausch
Kafei*, Anju*, Rosa*, Cecil(Thomas)*, MoscowModder, peteandwally, (tail of) LLLLLLink
Artistic, Cid 4*, Nightmeres, IDK(Idontknow8), (head of) LLLLLLink
Mister Snooze, Cid 5*, NewJourneysFire

* - This denotes a non-PureZC cameo character featured in my quest; name provided solely to identify all characters on the screen.
~ - Neither Fyer nor Falbi are planned to appear in the final game; they are Demo-only cameos.

Any other characters you see on the raft tour are not cameos. They are characters you will find on the island that you see them on, though not necessarily on the overworld.

Hey, guys! Sorry for the delay on this.

I've been trying to get caught up on the quest before I proceeded with this, but I'm at a point where I could use one of you as an NPC in the library. (I've already decided who it will be, so please don't fight over it! )

So, without further ado, here are the latest cameo character additions to my quest:

(Please note that I used MS Paint to collage 3 different screenshots of the same screen in 3 different CSets to make this picture.)

@klop422: Please note that I put regular Link tiles next to your character's tiles just for comparison. The skin tone is slightly darker, but what do you think? Do you want it even darker than it is?

@ABH15: I went on Spriters Resource and downloaded a Pichu/Pikachu/Raichu sprite sheet from one of those games that you mentioned (I can't remember which; it's been a while since I downloaded it). Since the sprites were too big, I tried resizing them, but they didn't look good afterwards. So, I just used the pixel outline from the shrunken-down version and then referred to the regular size sprites when coloring. I also had to modify it by bending his left ear lower, lowering his tail down and off to the right, and making the sparkle in both eyes toward the center instead of leaving it in the upper-left pixel of both eyes. Oh, and 1 other modification, I didn't have any CSets with both yellow and red, so I had to use an "orangey" color for his cheeks.
Oh, and I made different versions: the first 2 sprites shown above are with mouth shut and mouth open; the third one is with the arm on the left raised and mouth open; the fourth is with eyes closed and head bowed. I was considering making one with both arms raised, but I'm not sure I need to since I can just use the first 2 sprites for talking and the fourth sprite before Link talks to him.
If you'd prefer that I use arm-up sprites (which one? or both), just let me know. Also, if you'd like him to be a different color other than yellow, let me know that as well and which color you prefer.

So, whaddaya guys think?

I think that the skin tone is fine, but the belt needs to stand out more.
Also, can the dark brown parts of his clothing be a bit lighter? I think that it would look a bit better.

@klop422: How's this?


I lightened the sleeves as well as the belt.

[DragonDePlatino]

Sounds pretty interesting! I'd like a cameo as my main OC (Platino) but he's a hard to sprite character and I've gotten a little case of the sprite lazies lately. So...

1. Join, the Hyrulean Thief
2. Look in my Loose Tiles.
3. Shove him in a tavern or public place somewhere, preferably not a house because he's not the houses type. A cool thing for him to say would be..."Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it..." - Gilbert K. Chesterton

Oh, and feel free to use any tiles in my looses for people's cameos or NPCs. They're all custom tiles which fit very nicely into a tileset created by a particularly talented canine of the community. :3 They could also be recolored easily as well.

[klop422]

Just wanted to say that those sprites look fine now.
