hi all!i know this is my first post here and i thought id just let you guys know about a project i have been working on with a couple of others. after an extensive amount of work, its finally coming together and we are working on the world map and dungeons and enemies now. still serious contruction going on, but i felt i should update you all on the progress. since well...you are zelda fans too! and how! plus the bonus of the icing on the cake, some of you are developers, pixel artists, animators etc. which really helps for networking for getting help on this game
anyways! here it is!
your support and likes help me, and by sharing this page, you also help get the word out when the beta test is up and going! so go to the page and like it. and check it out! its a game a i am currently developing. please read below for features and screen shots. thanks in advance!
this is also roleplay friendly as well.
Before you get all bent out of shape, this is a freeware game, and somewhat of a fan game. we do have original composers working on sounds, music, ambience etc. as well as graphic artists working on new tilesets, sprites, a new GUI, bosses, enemies items, weapons etc. though old zelda graphics are being used, keep in mind this is somewhat of a fan game, but completely different story. it takes place in the world of Hyrule, same realm. same currency. etc. but this is an entirely different area of the world. the world of arkasus. just thought i should clarify.

- Player Housing, towns, cities, kingdoms, and clansplayers who can afford the land plots to buy it, can build there very own house and have it put on the plot of land (certain rules will apply to this obviously with custom scripts etc.) players will be able to build and manage they own plots of lands and towns etc. want to own a tavern for a roleplay or hang out spot? you can! want to create your own dungeon but have your own room in it? you can do so! which leads to our next thing on characters!
- Vast character customization!there is nearly limitless character customization! look like your own! with over hundreds of different head variations, bodies, custom swords, shields, and colors of your character, you can look like anyone and anything you like! though try to keep true to the world. it is a roleplaying game after all! but the customization is limitless! and cant find something that says "you?", then make your own! submit it to us and if approved (obviously with certain submissions, this is the internet) will be uploaded to the game for you to use and look the way you want!
- User submitted content! we always wanted a guild base the way we want it to look!well no sweat! you can have it here! like player housing etc, we offer guilds and clans their very own guild base at a cost of course and within certain requirements of course! have it set to only let your guild members in complete with your own devices and mechanisms. the possibilites are endless. not enough?
- Entirely New Area Submissions!yes, this is totally possible. with your own group of people, your own land design, graphics, sounds, music, etc, flags. you could build your own nation or kingdom complete with your own quests there. certain requirements will have to meet with game mechanics for some of this. but this is entirely possible as well. which brings us to the ultimate in roleplay and game design....
- Evolve and change the world around you!With the right amount of knowledge, and the use of the editors, simple graphics programs, and the easy to use coding system, you too, could be creating your very own content and submitting it to the server for uploading into our world!
thats right! your own character designs, your own enemies, weapons, new items you want in. we want all suggestions and submissions! you the player will help grow the community, and make it better for you and everyone! after all, its your playing experience!
-= Society Stuff and Things! =-- Alignment system! are you good to others, or bad to others?With the alignment system its now easy to spot the PKers (player killers!) with the pvp system in place, its easy to avoid being killed all the time. how you ask? easy! those who kill others all the time, and feed on the greed, there name will go black over time, and after a certain alignment passes as you pass down from white to dark. You are soon or later are no longer able to heal! well, with one exception, by passing into the Susakra realm, and buying an extremely expensive potion to wash away your ill soul back to white again...expensive though.
and for those who dont kill people! as your name gets lighter over time, you reach a gold name (shown below you and shows on the bar near your items!) you will be unable to be hit with a gold name by other players with there sword.
this does not apply to ladder battles aka arena points. which is next on our list!
