Welcome to another episode of Island Chapters.



Chapter 3 - Light It Up!

I am showing off one of the items in the game. Before I do, I do want to say that not every Zelda Classic item will be in this game. I know I had a lot of people say things like why wasn't this on Hero of Dreams, or why wasn't this upgrade of this item on the game. I want each item in this game to be a big part of the game. So I am indeed cutting back on items. While the number of items are not up there, the uses are.

The Bow and Arrow is the first item that I wish to reveal. The Bow and Arrow have been a huge part of the Legend of Zelda series. I want to have it so that there will be lots to do with the arrows, and not just "Throw the arrow and that's it." I want the arrow to interact with the environment. One of the ways I will do this with torches and grass. You can light up torches when you have fire arrows. When the torches are lit, you will able to throw your arrow into the torch and make it a fire arrow. The fire arrow will also be able to affect other things like... grass. Light it up!

Here is the video of Chapter 3:

You've taken "Shoot the arrow through the thing" puzzles to a whole new level. This is pretty darn awesome, and has so much potential. Good job, Shoelace.

I'm envious.

Dude you should totally start making commercial indie games, when you're done with this of course

 

The grass burning thing is just like FSA

Shoelace knows how it's done right! This was a great inside chapter.

Was trying to think where I seen the grass burning animation like that and yeah GhostKnight nailed it on the head there.  I truly feel like this will be the closest thing to a real Zelda game we've yet seen on ZC, and the potential will only continue to advance from here!

Thank you.  So far so good.  My goal is to make every item in this game to be useful and not just Spinner in the Desert Level like in TP you know. lol

I really want to.  I just hate coding.  Which is ironic because I have coded tons in this game. >_<  But I actually do want to get into that, that is a goal of mine is to make apps games.

Thank you.  We should have another one probably next week for February.

Yeah, I am glad it works really well.  We will see a lot bit more with the arrows on the next Inside Chapters.
