The day has finally come, I'm finished my second, and probably last Zelda fan game. I've been working on this for well over a year, and am quite proud of it, unfortunately I probably don't have the time for such things anymore, so I decided to finish this up and go out with a bang.
Anyway, the game completely dwarfs my previous effort, Darkness Uprising, but seeing as I'm not strong at either coding or graphics, it's probably not up to the standard of some of the stuff in the WIP forum, yet again this is done, with an overworld, bosses, dungeons, and A LOT of stuff to find. I reckon it'll take a good player 3 or 4 hours to find everything (that's 100 pearls and 17 heart containers). Takes me about 2, and I know it like the back of my hand.
I'm aware of a few small glitches, but they're very rare, such as getting stuck in walls, and to me, unavoidable. Also, I know that sometimes an enemy will pin you against a wall and do some hefty damage, but again, it's a step up from the enemies that stand there and drain your life as seen in DU.
As you can tell, the goal here was not perfection, or to make an epic masterpiece. This was simply a practical step up from what I've done, and on that front I do believe it turned out well. Having said that, feel free to pm me with glitches and typos, I'm only one man, and though I've done a lot of beta testing, I likely missed a few things, and would love to one day release a fixed version 2.
So yeah, that's pretty much the end of the rant. Feel free to add this to your Zelda sites, or whatever sites you might have. Shop it around forums, I don't care. Though I'd prefer if I got credited (if not, I'm splashed over the end credits anyway).
