I'm sure you're all thinking 'why bother doing that, we already have x million GB sets', right?
Well, this one's going to be different (and hopefully better).
It's going to use the colours from the Oracles games for the palette.
And it's going to abide by the colour restrictions that the GBC had. Each of the sprite CSets only has 4 colours in it, rather than a huge amount of superfluous ones (like EZGBZ has).
Now, I know there are some sprites in the GB Zeldas which have more than 4 colours so I'm employing 8-bit mode for those.
That's what my palette looks like at the moment.
Obviously it doesn't have any of the level colours yet. Those will have more than 4 colours per CSet, but I'm not completely decided on the layout for them. I have the dungeon level palette organisation about 90% certain, but I haven't really touched on how the overworld level palettes will look yet. I know it doesn't accomodate properly for all of the LA tiles either, but those will just have to fit into this palette as best they can. I haven't found any major problems with the current ones so far.
I'm also hoping to get a much larger percentage of the tiles from the games than previous sets have had.
That's restricted really to me finding more sprite sheets than Akkabus did at the moment (although I have ripped quite a few tiles from the games), but if anyone wants to help in that aspect I'd be quite happy.
The other major thing though is that this is going to be a 2.5 tileset. I'm aware that this means I won't be able to upload it to PZC's database. Good thing we have CZC!
So (as you might've guessed), there'll have plenty of scripted items and such as per default, plus the other bog-standard ones (signpost, NPC etc), and hopefully some enemies, a GB-style scripted map and some others.
So what I'm after at the moment is:
- Requests for which default items I should include. Not just scripted ones, I need to know which normal items we need too. Obviously I don't want to you to say 'sword' though.
- Any help I could enlist in finding and ripping some of the sprites for weapons/NPCs that I may have missed so far
- How interested you lot are?
