Interview:
Q: Can you tell us what made you decide on making a Zelda game rather then something else?
A: I played Zelda as a kid and it's something that stuck with me. I'm a really big fan and always had my own ideas that I thought would be cool
in a Zelda game.

Q: Was it hard to get started on this project?
A: Yes, there are so much possibilities you have to choose from: 2d or 3d and what engine to use etc.
Also a year ago I didn't have any knowledge of 3d software so I had allot to learn.

Q: In your topic there is some mention of others having helped. Is this a joined project?
A: Yes, it is a joined project. It did not start out as one but I realized that it was just too much work for one person.
I myself am working on the engine of the game with "logicbricks" and phyton (just basic phyton for now) and mapping/modeling.
Moffett1990 is the story writer. He and I bounce ideas back and forth. He also designs the characters/maps and draws them out.
Wagner is the animator he animated almost everything.

Q: What are some of the things you'd really like to see implemented one day?
A: We want this to look and feel like a Zelda game. So our main goal is to get that done, but we might put some of our own ideas in there.

Q: Can you tell us something about the future of this project, like the release of a demo or the implementation of a story?
A: The demo will be released soon. We got it working now, but it still needs some final fixes.
This game will be released in 4 versions: Windows openGL, Windows non-openGL (for older pc`s), Linux openGL and Linux non-openGL.

Q: Do you have any advise for others who are thinking about building something for themselves?
A: Be patient and don't give up.. Game making comes with allot of trail and error.
Before you start do some research what program is the best for you to use
