LttP vs MC?

Two words:
eye-candy

MC has more colors/details going on in the games than LttP games do. Maybe people feel limited by the palette or they feel restricted to keep it in the guidelines of LttP.

I am actually surprised that there are no real 2.5d style fan games since the DS games were released. I thought someone would have really tried to go that style. One or two games may have popped up but they haven't been updated in a long time.

I think since we're talking "fan-games", this comes down to a personal taste rather than there being any specifics. Every style has their ups and downs, but the deciding factor I think just comes from whoever's taste.

LttP is the most easily accessible in my opinion. And as a result, most "custom" resources were made for ALTTP. Lately I've been seeing the same trend apply to MC, which is nice considering I like MC's style.

I think the thing about MC is that it lends itself to more things, just based on the variety of the source material. ALTTP is really homogenized, I love the game, but most of the areas use either exactly the same or really similar tiles. But look at MC- does the town use the same tiles as the field? They aren't even the same palette. The forest has completely different tiles from the field.

I think the graveyard is a good example.

Graveyard in ALTTP Graveyard in MC
Differences from overworld: It has tombstones Everything

Like my little chart?
MC just has a lot more different things to add variety in your game, or to edit into completely new things, whereas in ALTTP if you just used tiles from the game, you could only have certain things, and if you wanted completely new things, you had to start from scratch.

It all comes down to developer's taste. The MC graveyard has a lot of potential, but unfortunately most of the plot device it could have had is ignored in favor of eye candy. That was my one gripe about the Royal Crypt. It was way too short for its potential. Logged

And both are the most recent sprite style of the zeries. ALttP is nostalgic, yes, but there are indeed obvious problems with it. Take the colors, for instance. It's all very washed-down in terms of colors, not like thevibrant and bright MC sprites. The Oracle games (and LA) are okay, but their lower resolutions make fangames on them... well, different. The trick with a good fangame is that the sprites must conform to the quality of the lowest-quality sprite in the game. LA/OoS/OoA kept the resolution and the colors to a good minimum on the sprites, and Link's oh-so-hilariously-reusable poses only accentuate how simplistic the style is. I vote MC, because it's apparently "in". Logged

I was telling him about how this project [KOT] has worked, lurching along for years and drawn by different people from across the globe, and he thought it was beautiful. And he was right, it's awesome.
