This is
not really a project for a quest, but just for a quest template.
So no story and no overworld and dungeons.
Basically "just" a tileset with a full set of scripts already included.
The idea is to recreate the same mechanics as the Oracle games for GBC. So obviously the same graphics, the same sound effects and sound track, but also the same items, sub-screens, map and dungeon systems, enemies, NPC's behaviour, etc...
An immediate consequence of this project being finished would be a serious third Oracle game project in ZC, but this is not what we are going to work on here.
Most of the ingredients are actually already there (thanks to the
EZGBZ 2.5 tileset from Lightwulf and many nice scripts in the database), but need to be put together and integrated.
If anybody is interested in contributing, please send a PM to Zepinho!
The more people we are the faster we can reach the goal!
A couple of "rules" for developers (to be kept in mind also for suggestions by non-developers):
- We want to recreate the Oracle series engine: we don't want to create a new awesome original quest. So even if we have a very nice script/functionality/graphic many people would like to have in their quest, if it's not there in Oracle Ages / Seasons, we don't add it.
- We should try to reduce as much as possible the modifications a user should make to the scripts in order to use them: ideally it should be possible to create an entire quest with all the functionalities without having to modify any .z (or .zh) scripts.
