This topic is for a new game that I am making. First, I would like you to know I want what you want. So, my first question is what items should I have that are equivalent to: the slingshot/seedshooter, magnetic gloves/hookshot, Cane of Samara. If you have any other item ideas, please give them. Level and boss ideas would also be appreciated.
-
Before you make a game you oughta learn how to spell.

Haha
Good luck with it :)
-
^^^^^^LOL
oh and for your game...make up an item just 1.windwaker had the leaf thing minish cap had the jar...ummmm i thing oot had the slingshot...n iron boots n stuff.w/e juts i think it would be cool if you make up an item.
PS - good luck(use gb graphics)
-
well gb sprites are a given
-
GB sprites are given? What's that supposed to mean? You can use any sprites...
-
Cool I recently just got OoA too so..
I love making up items so if I think of one I'll tell.
-
GB sprites are given? What's that supposed to mean? You can use any sprites...
In English, the phrase of something being "a given" means that they should have been expected because they were obviously going to be there or that something was "evident" or already clear unless otherwise stated against. In other words, since the game is somewhat based off of the existing Oracle games that were released for the Game Boy Color, the sprites are probably going to be in GB/GBC style.
By the way, I took the liberty to change the title of this topic to fix its spelling, as "Oricale" is not a word and I was pretty much sure you meant "Oracle".
I do not know what else to say, but maybe you should consider getting a storyline before you start development. That way you could know what you are doing and it would help with the planning of what you need to do.
EDIT: Seems the title did not change, maybe you should fix it.
-
good luck, add the roc's feather :D.
-
Not to offend you or anything but if you really want to make a Zelda game you need to make good grammar. Not saying I'm the grammar master. And if you are not sure how to write something then a dictionary is your big friend.
-
you need to make good grammar.
Unlike Hyrule_Boy here. :P
Anyways good luck man, just so you know, it's "Oracle". The Spell Check button is at the bottom of the reply page next to the Post and Preview buttons.
-
I know it sounds unfair, but... if your grammar already fails like that, I don't think you should go for making a game. It's a stupid reason, but I'm going with it. Forget it, it's okay. It's not bad if you don't make a game. :x
(I'll probably hate myself for that comment, but still.)
-
Thanks Bboy94
I would like to say that if you would like to insult my spelling, then don't; it only makes people think this is a unimportant topic. Without help, no one can make a sufficient game (except a genius, but even then it might not be what we want).
And please, don't say anything about the spell check. Second off, I do have a pretty good storyline:
Ganon sends out his last resort (this boss has not been made official, ideas here would also be appreciated) and uses the secrets of the people and Link to try revive Ganon.
The rest is pretty much the same storyline as Seasons and Ages. And just incase you don't know the items that were the same in both games will be in this one as well.
gamer will not be a problem I will personally take more time on the story then on thees posts.
-
*dies* Okay listen akb0492 use the spell check button, good lord you're last post was possibly the worst use of the English language I've ever seen. *Fumes*
secend = second
insalt = insult
genus = genius
and for the love of god it's not gannon >:(
-
blame the spell check that what it said.
-
Okay, I'm not going to judge your game by your spelling. Yet, I'd like to see how good you are at programming... THEN I'm gonna judge it. (Well okay. This is not the place for it, anyway. >_>)
-
akb0492, dude, please don't take offence at this but is English you're first language?
cos I feel my previous post may have been alittle harsh if you don't speak English as a first language
-
It's my first language (I know I can't spell, I haven't been able to since third grade).
-
I'm gonna say this now. reading a post or playing a game with bad spelling is pure torture. Every misspelled word rips through you like a gun-shot.
Hallo *bang* hpw *band* r *band* u *bang* 2day *bang* I is fine *bang* Sp *bang* cna *bang* you please stop MISSPELLING YOUR WORDS!!!
-
That last post is fine, other people can correct his game and this is spam stop typing about his spelling in his game topic.
-
Again, MY GAME WILL NOT HAVE SPELLING OR GRAMMAR MISTAKES (at least the final product won't).
And thanks again Bboy94
-
I have already offered to do a full spell check as my english is fine. Besides his english wont get better if you keep on discouraging him.
-
Thank You Timebomb (you got to appreciate friends)
but please what items do you want!?
-
Why are you asking us if it is your game... But if you ask me, something like "Bottomless Bucket" and store projectiles in there, shoot it back out at enemies, etc.
No offense, but you do sound like a 4 year-old... People won't understand you if you keep on talking like that.
-
mhhhhhh i sure want to see were this going to.
so you have dislexion ????
-
i won sooper sord dat can fly an kil evryding in 1 hti.
;D ;D ;D ;D
<_<
Yeah, I got bored, er, um, from the looks of this topic, XD
Good luckwith this... XD
-
Your compiler won't be able to understand your code, and will throw an error, I bet :(.
How about some wind-related item... a fan of some kind... hmm? Ah, yes. A fan.
-
Your compiler won't be able to understand your code, and will throw an error, I bet :(.
I was thinking the same tight butthole, but if he sorts his spelling out it could be very good. If you can sort your spelling out my advise is stick with it. If you can't....well coding is very precise, a humand brain can decode what you intended to say but your computer wont understand words like "secend". Don't think people here are picking on you though, its just advice.
:-\ I don't mean to go on about it but could you please correct the title? The correct spelling "Oracle".
-
coding will not be the problem. I got the game maker book a couple weeks ago, it pretty much covers basic coding in it.
-
You want to make a Zelda book ... following an example in "The GameMaker's Apprentice"?
I'm sorry, but I honestly think now that this is going to suck real hard.
"The GameMaker's Apprentice" is for beginners to start making simple basic games, like platformers and short puzzle games.
Not for an advanced fangame with prioritized movement, many complex items (especially the hookshot, PHEW, I remember the ezBoard times, it was always "I need a hookshot engine!" whereever you looked!).
-
:( This is why I don't like wen people criticise my spelling.
-
:( This is wiy I don't like wen people critisie my spelling.
Sorry to say it, but very few Zelda fan games have been finished, and it's hard for people to believe that you can finish one if you don't even know how to spell basic words like 'why' and 'when' even criticize is misspelled, but I mess that up too sometimes, so meh... Anyway, thats just the truth, and unless you can prove to them that you're a better programmer they have no reason to believe you can finish a game when so many others have failed, even the geniuses.
My advice: Create your games basic engine, and release it as a demo. Then ask for ideas. If you do a good job with your programming, you'll get much better help.
-
OK, I know it's not much, but the title screen is done and the demo/engine will be out soon.
-
Now heres the big thing.
You want to think of Oracle of Secrets like you would OoS and OoA
so basically we know who the Oracle of Secrets is since Din and Nayru are the Oracles of Seasons and Ages.
Then you need to think about what special item would you get that would allow you to tap into the Oracle of Secret's Powers, and also why someone would kidnap her and what would it throw off. You could have it that she was kidnapped and now everyone is blurting out their deep dark secrets. Link thne must gather eight essences but you've got to figure out what those would be, considering if I remember correctally seasons was nature and ages was time ( I may be wrong I haven't played them in forever)
If you need any ideas feel free to PM me and I'll be glad to help!
good luck though with the project! 8)
-
Your topic title is mis spelled it should be "The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Secrets" ;) anyways waiting is for the demo :dance:
-
first I would like you to know I wont what you wont
sow my first quesgen is what items should I have that are equivalent to
slingshot / seedshuter
magnetic gloves / hookshoot
/ cane of Samara
if you have anyother item ideas pleas give them
(level and boss ideas would also be appreciated)
Well how about
Bow of Seeds
Grapple Hook (Part Hookshot, Part Grappling Hook)
I would'nt do the cane of samara (as you say) because it is only in one game
How about the
Roc's Boots, Like the Hover Boots but for like unlimited/limited time.
-
dude that title screen says "oracle of seasons"
-
Off-Topic: Don't worry AKB, I was never really good at spelling either, I just failed to understand grammar rules/punctuation etc. Even though i'm no master at the whole grammar/spelling thing. I try my hardest to make it understandable. Moral - Just keep at it, you'll eventually get it
On-Topic: I wish you best of luck. The Oracle of Secrets sounds shady, mysterious. I like that, though I don't know, Oracle of Secrets seems like you were just trying to think of something that sounds cool. If I am not mistaken an Oracle is like a prophet or something along the lines of that, and a Prophet of Secrets seems a little scary if you ask me. :lol: Though, who am I to be saying this type of thing, its your game and your idea. I wish you best of luck.

Actually the name reminds me of the third Oracle game Nintendo planned to make originally - check here (http://www.gamespot.com/gbc/rpg/legendofzeldaoracleos/news.html?sid=2608152&mode=recent)
They did have different names back then, but since they were named after the oracles in the games (Din = Oracle of Seasons, Nayru = Oracle of Ages) it stands to reason the third one may have ended up being Oracle of Secrets since that is what Farore was.

Yeah I remember hearing about that a long time ago on an Episode of Icons(Now entitled Game Makers) on G4. I always thought they were going to have a 3rd one but they never did :(
-
Thanks to all who like the idea, and I'll get on the Seasons thing and do my best.
And I like the grapple hook and seed bow.
Also, the game is going to be the third game Nintendo never made and all that's left is the name of the land.
;D akb0492
-
Do the hook and the bow, and I will kick your ass. You need some original items, not some bow rehash. Think something zelda-y, yet not anything that Nintendo has made.
Also, make Farore the oracle, and don't make the plot stupid. That's all I can say.
Bow is already done in Links awaking XD and abk0492 do you read every post in your topic?
-
All I said was I liked them Hyrule_boy, so why don't you do the same? Besides, why do you insult people? :)
-
Ok ok lets not get a fight started, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Do what you want, and if you need any help just ask the people who are willing to help. Just make a good game and keep it up, you've got my support.

That's actually pretty unfair. He spelled criticise perfectly in British/Canadian english. Mos tpeople spell it wrong. Anyway, if you're using drag 'n' drop, well,s imply, good luck to ya. (honestly.) If you're using code, then you will need to work on spelling. i once made a game with a guy who actually was great at GML but couldn't spell too well, he got a number of compilation errors just because of that, even though his coding itself was really good.
Personally I think ZFGC'ers on the whole are too critical about spelling, rather than sympathetically encouraging people we/they just yell at them. Good luck with this, and don't listen to other people, fantastic games can be made with drag 'n' drop and very little code.
-
all I said was I liked them Hyrule_boy, sow why don't you do the same.
besides why do you insal people? :)
I don't get it! what do you mean?
-
I should have the title screen in a couple of days, but the demo will be longer. I have three projects in school, two are due this week and another after Thanksgiving break. Besides that, I get the Wii next week. TP will be great.
AKB0492
;D
-
Good to hear they haven't made you leave with their criticism. Something about this game makes me nostalgic.
-
OK, Quick Update
TP- Almost done, I just have to beat Hyrule Castle and the boss of the game.
OoS- same as before :'(
life- :-\.................... it stinks
OK, I could use some help on a race (ex. Goron, Zora, deku, subrosion....), and please give a name and description.
Thanks,
AKB0492 ;D
-
Just Google, the Desert Collosus and go to the Compendium there is a list of races.
-
You know, you could really research them stuff by yourself.
I find you're way too reliant on ZFGC... Not that I'm complaining, but;
http://www.zeldawiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
might help.
On another note... May I please ask how old you are?
-
OK quick update
TP- almost dune just got to beat Hirule Casul and boss of game
OoS- same as before :'(
life- :-\.................... it stinks
OK i could use some help on a race (ex. Goran, Zora, duku, sarocean....) I nead name and discripshon
thanks
AKB0492 ;D
If you ever need any help ask me

I meant a new race, and I'm 14 if you must know.
If you ever need any help ask me
Yeah, if you know a place with a tutorial on the scripting that would help (as in what each does and how to use it).
-
I'll PM you a couple of new races when I get a chance.
-
ya if you know a place with a tutorial on the scripting that would help (as in what each dus and how to use it)
TRY HERE XD (http://www.zfgc.com/forum/index.php?board=124.0)
-
nintendo was actually goin ta make dis one but they didnt have time
-
That is why I want to make it.
-
That is why I want to make it.
Then start by writing the title good its "The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Secrets" NOT Zelda the oricale of Secrets
-
Happy?
I'm I sure you're a friend? You're very cruel to people unless they PM you.
Like SPELLING.
For the last time, no more criticizing!
-
OK, everyone quit pointing out the obvious. But seriously, akb0492, please try to have better grammar or at least run your post through a spell checker. Also, criticism is fine so long as it is constructive, and fixing the title will help your game, so it is not wrong to say that the name should be changed. Anyway, I am going to take the liberty to go through this whole topic and fix your posts, but you should try to do this yourself before posting posts.
EDIT: There, all of your posts that needed fixing have been fixed. If you need help in the future, PM me and I will help you out. Now no one can make fun of those previous posts, and if they do I can moderate them. Everybody move on and discuss the game ideas and not the person making the game.
-
Thanks, but :'( I use a spell checker.
the problem is that I have to use what they give me (I can't seem to put grammar and spelling together. for that reason my grammar looks bad).
But thanks, allot!
;D
-
Other than a few typos(which we all do) your grammer is fine, so how is this coming along?
-
Well....... finals are next week
and I go to my dads the day they are done.
sow..... ya
______________________________________________________________________________________________
yaaaay... finals are over today which means I get off at noon,
and that also means I go to my dad's, ;D
But I won't have gm in Verina T-T sow I'll be cheeking up every sow often.
-

Are you just doing coding right now? Or do you have a screen?
-
I'm HOME!!
My mom neads me to do some things first but maby I can start bake up the coding after School tomaro.
you should check some info on how the original OoS was going to be
If you have a link or can tell me ware to find the info I will (have looked and failed to fine it).
-
Oh my God. I was just thinking about the same idea for a game, with Farore as the Oracle.
Apparently Nintendo were gonig to do it but they ever actually went through with it.
-
well I can take any ideas and will credit you (or you could help). If not, good luck if you try to make it.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
As You can see, I have changed the name to its original English version. I will modify the original storyline and post it when it is done.
-
haha, nah it was just an idea I had...Nintendo were going to make it but their plot was awful.
-
I know, But I'm still going to modify it (even thow it will be a lot of modifying).
If you look at the attachment, you will see the new title for The Mystical Seed of Courage
Farore, the Oracle of Secrets, responsible for managing the Secrets of the Land of ______was kidnapped by____. The brave hero Link learns of this and sets out to save the oracle. However, _____ learns of Link's quest and splits he Book of Secrets into nine pieces, scattering them throughout the land. As a result of this calamity, _____???s secrets are thrown into chaos and they are appear from no ware and becoming real. In order to save Farore and find the missing pages of ???The Book of Secrets??? our hero Link must travel back and forth between ______ and this new dimension, while receiving help from the spirit of the "Tree of Mystery" and also the strange "Uura Tribe" found in this other dimension.
Well as you can see, there are blanks. they includ
-Name of land
-Name of 10th dugen boss
Another thing is that I have no idea what to image the Uura tribe as.
but thats all for today.
-
Erm... I think Nintendo was going to put an Oracle of Secrets in Oracles series, but dropped it due to linking problems...
-
Part true, CAPCOM made the games under Nintendo. They did not have the time for the third game and liking them would be hard.
