Title: LOZ: Hall of the Dead - UPDATE
Post by: imfletcher on April 05, 2006, 12:01:39 am: Oh no! Another Zelda fan game from that dude who actually finished one. Well it's not a sequel and it's not a remake but I've taken a lot of old ideas and mixed them into a new storyline. I don't really want to give a heckuva lot away right now so I'll just post some early screens:

Post by: Drewdelz on April 05, 2006, 12:20:17 am: That looks awsome man. I think me and you are the only two to finish a Zelda Fan Game. XD

And that boat scene reminds me of a scene in ZFGC: Gang Wars. :P

Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: bran371 on April 05, 2006, 12:42:54 am: Wow, that looks really nice just from those screenshots. I hope the actual game plays as good as it looks!
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: TwillightXIII on April 05, 2006, 04:20:54 am: Looks good, I played your last game, so i am looking forward to this one. :D
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: alspal on April 05, 2006, 06:43:51 am: its awesome to see your working on something again!
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: Moon_child on April 05, 2006, 07:01:09 am: Looks cool but those hearts don't fit really.
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: Hoffy on April 05, 2006, 07:29:36 am: I have total face this game will reach completion ;). You're a God, Imfletcher. Keep us updated :).
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: MaJoRa on April 05, 2006, 09:09:03 am: This game looks excellent, the hearts are a little too big perhaps? Im not sure they just dont fit, and i LOVE the tress, amazing work! I hope this game gets finished, i think i would play it.
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: TomPel on April 05, 2006, 10:57:32 am: Looks great man! Can`t wait to see this finished ;)
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: Gilgamesh on April 05, 2006, 10:59:57 am: Hmm, looks nice so far. Let's hope it's as original as your previous games.
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: imfletcher on April 06, 2006, 12:15:14 am: Wow thanks for all the positive feedback. I'll be sure to put the actual ALttP hearts in a bit later on.

Oh and a small update: I just finished the entire opening and the large town that serves as the main hub. Now I'm going to start designing the other five areas and their respective dungeons. I'll probably post more screens as I finish those areas.
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: .Imyge on April 06, 2006, 03:44:05 am: Good to see you starting this new project. Looks really nice so far, like your Darkness Uprising(too bad that you couldnt finish the other game, didn't you hardrive screw up and you lost it or something?) Good Luck on the new one!!
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: Fox on April 06, 2006, 05:20:23 am: Pretty pretty cool! I like it! The graphics look awesome! You only may change the HUD (the hearts), and it will look PERFECT. :D
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: cb43569 on April 06, 2006, 10:46:19 am: It looks really simple, yet really good!
Good work, mate! I can't wait for a demo version.
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: aab on April 06, 2006, 09:26:57 pm: It seems like it has a real rpgish and character interactive storyline, and looks somehow original. Nice!
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: Benito on April 08, 2006, 07:59:11 pm: Its looking and playing great, the map I've played, the hud of the game being the town was well laid out and as Sol said the secrets it holds are great (I found most apparently hehe).

I am looking forward to playing this game upon its completion :D

No sir. Everything is either FSA, ALttP, or custom/edited.

I haven't even posted gameplay details yet and probably won't for some time. You see I'm trying out the Nintendo method of revealing games. ;)

The nintendo method is good but you should release something new in abut a week or everyone will forget about it. Nintendo has a huge fan base that barely breaks. Zfgc on the other hand, as soon as the topics left for a month they don't care about it any more.
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: imfletcher on April 08, 2006, 10:50:34 pm: Wll I didn't say I wasn't going to release *ANYTHING*, just nothing important. Maybe I'll put up a new screen or two heh.
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead
Post by: imfletcher on April 09, 2006, 10:30:44 pm: Just Bumping this with three new screens:

(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b202/imfletcher/halldead8.png)

(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b202/imfletcher/halldead7.png)

(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b202/imfletcher/halldead6.png)

Also I can say that I just need to make the boss and the first dungeon is complete.
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead - UPDATE
Post by: Benito on April 09, 2006, 11:38:02 pm: Nice new screens fletch :D keep it up!
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead - UPDATE
Post by: Fox on April 10, 2006, 01:00:16 pm: Very nice! I'm looking forward to a demo! :D
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead - UPDATE
Post by: TomPel on April 10, 2006, 01:06:41 pm: Yes, very nice screenshots! But maybe you should add a HUD and a better heart-sprite? Anyways, looks great ^_^
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead - UPDATE
Post by: imfletcher on April 11, 2006, 12:39:26 am: Well I'm going to change the hearts but that's low on my priority list (in fact it's after finishing the main game) as for the hud, the only info I needed to add was on the pause menu. Uh oh, does that mean Imfletcher has planned yet another twist? I wonder.

Oh and a progress update, I'm done up to the end of the first dungeon (With a neat pharoh type boss). I "COULD" release a demo soon in theory (and a huge one at that) but if people like it enough they may become antsy to play the real thing. Also I'm thinking it'd be more fun to discover the entire game at once rather than already having it 1/5th beat before release.
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead - UPDATE
Post by: Link94 on April 11, 2006, 12:59:59 am: Yeah that does sound like a GREAT IDEA :o but I cant wait for the real thing That looks good demo or no demo
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead - UPDATE
Post by: .Imyge on April 11, 2006, 02:36:20 am: I'd rather play the game all at once rather than having little demos ruining the final product.

I hope to be able to play through many puzzles too. Also I hope you don't forget that when you get hit link should jump back a little, that was one of the most annoying things in your first game that I noticed. Maybe even secret rooms, not involved in the actual gameplay with references to other games, or anything would be awesome. ;D Can't wait to see more!

They're my favourite parts of Zelda games, of course I'm going to have puzzles, and lot's of them too.

Look closely at the screens. ;)

Well I have plenty of little nods towards both other Zelda games and DU. As for secrets, I'm definately going to reward perfectionists if that means anything.

There being puzzles is always good to hear.

Post by: Hoffy on April 11, 2006, 09:55:09 pm: The new screenies look great :). You're obviously progressing well, keep up the good work.
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead - UPDATE
Post by: cb43569 on April 17, 2006, 11:13:13 am: Hey, cool, it's looks pretty good :). I didn't really like the Zelda game you made before (no offense, but I didn't), but this looks a little more promising. The only thing that I found confusing was this, though:

(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b202/imfletcher/halldead4.png)

Um, when you said "aurora" did you actually mean "aura"? Because aurora is just the northern lights, the night rainbow, etc.
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead - UPDATE
Post by: Tabby on April 17, 2006, 12:14:20 pm: Oooooo this looks interesting! Awesome screenies n_n
I haven't played your other Zelda game, but I guess it doesn't matter since this has a different story etc :P

The boat scene, are we allowed to know who that girl is :P? Is it Zelda <___<?
I hope the story will be finished soon ;D

Keep up the good work!

Er yeah that's what I meant, are you 100% sure on the spelling? If so I'll change it ASAP.

The story IS done, it's just that unlike some games I don't unload the whole thing at the beginning. The story will go deeper as you play. Giving off just the opening will make it seem simple and cheap while giving off the whole thing would spoil the game, so uh nothing.

I will say that the girl is Zelda though.

New screen. I'm currently working on the area leading to the second dungeon. I hope to show more before the weekend is through.

Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead - NEW SCREEN
Post by: imfletcher on April 21, 2006, 09:59:50 pm: Well technically it's not a forest but a jungle so I have to mix it up a bit. Maybe I'll toy a bit more with it.

EDIT: Made a small change, looks a bit more lush and jungle-esque. Better?

Looks ok, but the trees are odd, jungles don't have plams do they? and trees are really tall in junges, but lttp graphics don't really cover that...

Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead - NEW SCREEN
Post by: imfletcher on April 22, 2006, 04:01:48 pm: I never said it was hard. In fact I said it was easy therefore I'm just going to do it later. My priority is finishing the game then I'll perfect it. That's how I finished the first one and it's also how I'm going to finish this one.

Whoo! Just finished everything up to the second dungeon. In other words I'm almost halfway done the main quest. Three more areas after this then I simply toy around with menus and such. That's not to say I'm going to be done anytime soon but things are going better with this than they ever had with the Autumn Rune. I'll probably post some stuff from Dungeon 2 when I finish it.
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead - UPDATE
Post by: Hoffy on April 30, 2006, 10:43:37 pm: Imfletcher, you're amazing O_o... You just work so well at these Zelda fan games, it's great. Keep up the good work dude ;). Awesome screenshot!!
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead - UPDATE
Post by: imfletcher on April 30, 2006, 10:56:11 pm: Dunno Sol, I might starve you until I'm done. Then you'll have to beta test the first public release like everybody else.

I'm seriously considering suicide now.

But I have reported glitches to you so far, so it's worth letting me test some more :P

Me too <___< And ONLY from seeing the screens! They just keep coming... and coming... and they're all so
friggin nice ;_;

I shall continue keeping my eye on this game <_<
While the other eye will make sure that you will keep up the good work ;)

Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead - UPDATE
Post by: A Storm in the Desert on May 01, 2006, 01:10:54 pm: This project is looking very sweet! Out of curiosity, is this a new engine or are you using the DU engine? Or a bit of both (recycling for the win!).

(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b202/imfletcher/hotdnew3.png)
Again, out of curiosity, are you going to be altering that entrance? To my eyes it just looks a little out of place colour wise. It sticks out a little.
Title: Re: LOZ: Hall of the Dead - UPDATE
Post by: imfletcher on May 01, 2006, 07:21:30 pm: Quote
If it's the DU engine then he's redone a lot of it because it's quite different.

This is closer to a traditional Zelda game than DU, though it also has it's original elements like all IMFletcher's games do.

I guess I don't need to find an agent...

Anyway yeah, the way it plays is similar to DU in a sense (I changed some items to act like summons) but other than that it's quite different.
