Hello
So here is a zelda fangame idea what i really want to make but since i just started learning unity, all i can do is make sprites and backgrounds at the moment.
here is a made up pic how the game would look like:
http://sherto.deviantart.com/art/Paper-Zelda-433329651The project is open to everyone who are obsessed to make a zelda fan game as much as i am.
I had many projects and all was canceled early because, its hard to communicate on web with a different time zone ( im from europe), and usually the other people wasnt that interested after the first hardships.So i welcome everyone who are committed to finish the project.
And if its too hard, takes too much time, then make it short, i dont care just lets make it done.
About the game:One of the problems with my previous projects was : i made the story and the elements of the game alone and the others doesnt felt they own the game idea or they are one of the creators,so this time i didnt wrote the whole story and etc.. just the basic idea.
The sub title would be something like, the tome of ....something, maybe the tome of memories.
The main item would be the magical tome. Its a tome which is missing its pages and if you found one ( usually after bosses ) a new area will open, since this is the book of memories and if the page is restored, the memory of that place will be restored back as well.
After an area is restored you cant reach all of its parts, you will have to restore the sentences as well, because all of the headlines missing their first letter illuminations.After you find the letter, the sentence will be complete and the way would open.
okay thats about the story
the game play would be just as like the paper mario ones but it wont be a turn based system but much like: you meet an enemy, and the camera would fixing on that part of the stage. You can move freely and do whatever you want, but you cant go further until you defeat the enemy. You can escape if you go backward where you came from. Ok this is just an idea and i willing to change it if my partner doesnt like it,just like the item system ( although i think its good and unique ).
The item system would be: after you got something new ( like a bomb ) it would have a ammo bar instead of numbers.If you got a new heart, it wont be added as a new heart sprite but you would have just one heart container and it will be added as a new layer or stripe on that one heart sprite.
About the engine:Im open the every solution but i dont think its necessary to make it in 3D or 2.5D. It will be fine in simple 2D and it would be easier to make.However i dont know pits and stairs how can be work in 2D.
The best would be to make it in unity since as i told i started to learn it also.
just in case ,you can contact me here also:
