Entertainment / Eragon-Way Off?
« on: December 20, 2006, 04:40:39 pm »
Who else thought that the Eragon movie was way off from the book? I did. It was my favorite book, not a bad movie, but not like the book. They crammed a 400 page book into a 103 minute movie. Possible? Judge for yourself.

Yes, that's right! Not a huge community right now, but I would like it to be. TheProjects is made on SMF, so expect an experience much like that of ZFGC. There are three admins: Me(head admin), Bboy94, and dlbrooks33. There is also one Global Mod: Shanech. You know these people, so you know you can trust them. The forum is still being put together, so don't worry about the lack of boards right now. But, please, join TheProjects!

Entertainment / Heresy Book One: Sea of Crystal(Excerpt from Chapter One)
« on: November 21, 2006, 09:54:46 pm »
Chapter One:
Ghost of a Man

In the year 2097 on May 19th, the law was officially passed that made it illegal and punishable by death to practice Christianity. Anyone caught committing this ???heresy??? was immediately detained for questioning. If the subject repented, they were released. If they did not, they were killed. A government-instated organization known as ???Xytex??? was put in charge of monitoring this law. Marshal Law was induced, so few get away with ???heresy???. However, a small group of refugees known as ???The Lions??? are standing against Xytex, and continuing to worship the Lord. This is their story... 

   Jack Stewart paced the floor, tensely waiting. Where are they? He thought. Leera and Antwon could generally take care of themselves, but they???d been longer this time. Could it be that they-Jack pushed the thought away, and continued pacing. ???Damn* it!??? Yelled Jack, slamming his fist down on the small, rickety table. He glanced over and saw the large Bible lying on the small podium, which stood on the end of the table. A sudden guilt hit him like a bullet for cursing. ???Lord, forgive me.??? He prayed quietly.
   He walked over to the Bible and, careful not to tear any pages, opened the heavily-worn cover. He began to read Psalm 119:10, ???With my whole heart, I have sought Thee: O let me not wander from Thy commandments.??? Jack closed his eyes. This verse applied to him and the rest of The Lions so much in these times. They had to be extra careful not to deny God or stray from His path-even when they were staring death right in the face.
   Then, the door at the top of the steps creaked open, interrupting Jack???s thoughts. Jack ripped the UZI sub-machine gun from its holster on his belt, and leveled it at the door. There were footsteps. It seemed like two people, one fairly large, and one fairly small, walking down the old steps. Jack waited.
   More footsteps.
Jack???s hand began to shake. Not violently, but shaking all the same. Finally, after what seemed like hours, the door to the meeting room creaked open. Jack ducked down behind the old table. The door then closed. Then, it swung open and a tall figure of about six feet and a smaller figure of about five stepped in. Jack let out a sigh of relief and stood, re-holstering his UZI-
the figures were Antwon and Leera. Antwon stepped toward Jack.
   ???Hey.??? He said in his rumbling voice.
   ???Hi.??? Jack replied.
   ???Something wrong???? asked Leera, stepping forward.
   ???Not really. I just really wanna find out Xytex???s reasoning behind the Preservation Law.???
   ???We all would,??? Chimed in Antwon. ???But we probably never will.???
   Jack nodded. ???Anyway,??? He said. ???how???d it go????
   Antwon???s features darkened. ???Well, we found out that Xytex did know the location of our meeting place. But, we,??? He stopped and glanced at Leera. ???we took care of it.???
   Jack sighed regrettably. He hated it when they had to kill, but it was necessary sometimes. He hated that, too. ???So, the threat is neutralized???? He asked.
   ???Sir! Yes, Sir!??? Said Leera sarcastically, saluting and marching mockingly up to him. Jack laughed for the first time in days.
   ???What now???? Asked Antwon.
   ???Well,??? Began Jack. ???I think we should go to sleep for the night. I???m too tired to think.??? Antwon and Leera nodded drowsily. They were just as tired as Jack, and they had done all the work.
   ???Fine by me.??? Said Leera, wiping her eyes and yawning. She nodded curtly to Jack, then Antwon, turned, and walked to the girls??? community room and her dorm.
   ???G???night, Jack.??? Said Antwon. He turned and walked to his dorm, as well. Jack, however, lingered in the meeting room for a bit longer. He again walked over to the Bible and traced his fingers along the writing on the front cover.
   ???Holy bible.??? He said aloud. He turned and quietly walked to his room at the end of the adjacent hall. He opened the old door and stepped inside. He didn???t bother to turn on the lights. He just pushed off his shoes, threw his jacket on the floor and jumped into the bed. His head hit the pillow and he dropped off into sleep.


   Jack awoke to a commotion outside his room. Breakfast. He thought hungrily. He got out of bed, put on his boots and jacket, and stepped outside his room. ???It is breakfast.??? He walked up to the table. ???What???re we having today????
   Antwon offered him a plate of bacon. ???Here.??? He said, simply.
   
*Although this book is meant to convey a Christian message, profanity is used to increase the realism and the stress of the situation.

Jack took the plate quickly and sat down. He soon devoured the good food, and leaned back in his chair contentedly.
???So,??? Said Antwon. ???what???ll we be doing today????
Jack pondered that. There really wasn???t anything he could think of. ???Well. There isn???t really anything going on.??? Then, Jack remembered. ???Only one thing, but I can take care of it. Antwon, you and Leera manage guard duty. Everyone else, you take guard duty, as well.???
Antwon nodded to Jack, then looked at Leera. She sighed exasperatedly, rolled her eyes, and stood up, following Antwon. The rest of the Lions ran outside after them. Jack remained inside the meeting hall for a few moments. Then, he turned and walked up the stairs, and outside. He turned a corner and entered a large garage. Then, he followed a series of doorways to a small room. Inside, there was a desk, four chairs, and a man sitting behind the desk.
???Hello.??? The man greeted Jack.
Jack nodded curtly to him, and took a seat. ???How is it????
The man threw a manila folder at Jack. ???It???s all in there.??? Jack took the folder and opened it. He read the document:

???Government law number 434562:

Anyone found practicing Christianity will be detained and questioned. If the subject admits to heresy, they will be shot immediately. If the subject denies Christianity, however, they will be set free.???

Jack tossed the folder back onto the table. He shuddered. ???That???s sickening.??? He said, with a look of disgust.
???Just policy.??? Said the man, taking back the folder and putting in his desk drawer.
???That doesn???t make it right, Geoff.???
???You???re right, Jack, but they???re the government.??? Replied Geoff.
???Actually,??? Said Jack. ???They???re not. They???re Xytex.???
???The government, Xytex-same thing.???
Jack laughed. ???I guess. Still doesn???t make it right.???
???Right and wrong don???t have any meaning to Xytex or the government.??? Replied Geoff.
???That???s the sad part.??? Said Jack. ???Not even the rulers care.???
???Never have. Jack, I have somewhere to be. I???ll talk to you soon.??? Geoff and Jack both stood up, shook hands and left.

I created this topic to get your opinions on the death penalty.

I personally believe it's perfectly acceptable. Some people deserve to die.

Zelda Projects / The Legend of Zelda: The Chrome Ball Chronicles
« on: November 18, 2006, 02:24:07 am »
Team:

1.) Jackofalltrades
-  In-Depth Story Develepmont/Ripper and Editor..
2.) Dlbrooks33
- Idea of Game, Spriter, Beta Tester.
3.) Dark Xion
- Coder.
4.) Tre Lantana
- Ideas, Coder.
5.) Shanech
- Beta Tester.

Well, it's finally here. ZFGC's first taste of The Legend Of Zelda: The Chrome Ball Chronicles
 
. I put together this demo just to try to get things rolling. There are A LOT of ideas that haven't been implemented and bugs to be ironed out yet. All graphics, resources, etc. are subject to change. Again, this was just thrown together to illustrate a game idea and by no means represents the final product.

This demo is based off of spookymagician's "pinball game engine." You'll immediately see that all I've done is added music, cosmetic changes, etc. Nothing too major on my part; I just wanted to push this project to get started. [I used unregistered GM 6.1 to edit it for those wondering.]

I had planned on taking a screenshot, but I'm having problems with my videocard currently. If someone would want to take one, it would be greatly appreciated!

Download The Legend Of Zelda: The Chrome Ball Chronicles demo 0.01!
here
 (right-click, SaveAs)

For full credit details and the game's controls, press F1 after starting the game. Also the game begins immediately once it's loaded!

Known Bugs:

The ball gets hung up on walls & sometimes the flippers
The ball is constantly bouncing. This sometimes leads to the ball bouncing back and forth in a constant loop, gradually increasing in speed
... anymore?

Known Issues:

The ball's physics could use being improved
If you get stuck, try using tilt (this will not always work and you may have to reset the ball)
There are cheap ways to rack up lots of easy points (ie: ball getting stuck in bouncing loop)
Mixed sprites/graphics
The MC Link sprite is a messy edit. I chopped off pixels so that he would fit into a 16 x 16 box.
The flipper sprites should probably be just a pixel or two longer, but I didn't feel like making the adjustments.
The "LoZ: CBC" title is on the game board itself. I think it's a bit distracting and probably should be moved to an intro screen, whatever.
Like the "LoZ:CBC" title being on the game board, I also have a Triforce graphic at the top of the board that is also probably distracting. I had thought about removing it and instead tiling a pond or something, but never got around to it.

Future plans (I think it would be nice if eventually we could get the following made in addition to the game itself):

An original looking "The Legend Of Zelda: The Chrome Ball Chronicles" title
A support banner
A custom program icon

Enjoy!

Don't know how many people want one, but I know I do. I think that people would really like it once they get used to it. It could go in The Dungeon, along with forum games.

Here's a support bar! Use it if you support having a forum games/roleplaying forum!

Discussion / LoZ: The Sun's Shadow<Story ADDED! And, TITLE!>
« on: July 20, 2006, 06:52:20 pm »
                                Long ago, in the land of Hyrule, an evil wind was blowing.
                                An evil man, Vaati, had shattered the sacred Picori Blade
                                           and unleashed terrible monsters.
                                 
                             
                                Then, he turned Hyrule's Princess Zelda to stone...
                                      ...and covered the land in a shadow.

                                 
                                But, wielding the strength of the tiny Minish,
                                    and of the four elements, a hero arose...


                                       ...and struck down the evil Vaati.

 
                                       But then, the hero disappeared, and the
                                          land again descended into shadow.


Yeah. I beat Vaati on MC last nigth. After the credits, you know how it says, "But surely, this is not the end of Zelda and Link's adventures in Hyrule"? Well, i was thinking: Wouldn't it be awesome if there was a sequal to MC, maybe in Termina again? Just, a different, longer story? Or maybe Holodrum(where the MC Din is from)? I just think MC is one of the best Zelda games out, so I would love to see it continued.

Then, I thought...I bet someone on ZFGC could...

I could...

PUT TOGETHER A TEAM!

Granted, I can't program or sprite, but I'm learning how to rip sprites, for LoZ: The Chrome Ball Chronicles. Now, would anyone like to help me with this?...Please?

I was thinking maybe Gannon(Or a completely new nemesis) could be in it, and integrate Epona, and the Ocarina songs. Not just one song that wisks you away to...wherever.

So, whaddya think?

Entertainment / OoT VS MM
« on: July 14, 2006, 08:22:37 pm »
Yes, I am doing this. Since the other topic died. I want this to be memorable. Maybe, after it's over, we can make a game out of it...

What?

Anyway, when picking a team, same as last time, except tell your favorite part of your game, and your least favorite part of the other.

Mine will be the example:

I choose MM.

MM Pros:
-Awesome story
-The time limit always kept you on your toes
-The masks add a lot of replay value
MM Cons:
-Too short
-Some NPCs were kind of creepy(Like Happy Mask Salesman and Majora)
MM Favorite Thing: Oni-Link
OoT Least Favorite Thing: The sloooow dialogue

So, 3 pros, 2 cons, and favorite and leat favorite. Lets get started!


Majora's Mask-
-jackofalltrades
-jman2689

Ocarina of Time-
-REV2K6
