This is a project for a 3D Zelda fan game. The theme of it is exploring new areas and solving puzzles by traveling to multiple different realms.
Im committing to keep this project alive for as long as it takes to finish it. Or at least maybe a demo or two. Whether that would be years from now.
The Beta Names were: "Shadow World" and " Blade of Power"
I'm going to hold back on the updates until i get enough helpers and supporters
Helpers Require:
Experience with Engines
Experience with UDK
Experience with Models
Experience with Art/Concept
Experience with Models from Scratch
Experience with Textures/GUI
Experience with Scripting
(ETC)
Help support the game!
The Legend of Zelda Elemental Portals
The main story is pretty much kept the same but certain chunks of it is being altered repeatedly. I'm not gonna say anything about the story anymore until the game is in development.
Switched from Wind Waker to Twilight Princess style.
vvvvvv Simple concept of Logo Below vvvvvv

Do you have any additional mockups or in-game screenshots, and out of curiosity what software/tool are you using to make this game?
-
With all due respect, this has to go into discussion.
-
Do you have an actual team for this
-
this could be the biggest project on this site
I don't mean to rain on your parade, but before I see proof, I would think twice before undermining some of the projects on this website. I can name a few off the top of my head (Echoes of Aurelia, Horn of Balance, and our very own King of Thieves) that are quite grandiose in terms of content.
Seeing as there is no proof or screenshots whatsoever, I think I'll be moving this to Discussion.
With all due respect, this has to go into discussion.
Thanks for the suggestion, but the administration team is full enough to not need a rent-a-mod. Thanks!

It sounds interesting enough, I'll subscribe to this. I'm guessing Hyrule Field will be an overworld...
-
Wii U, Gamecube AND PC? Quite ambitious...
-
You have a team to work with you in this project? If so best to plan everything out, then do the coding and all that other good stuff.
Your project and idea reminds me of the other 3D project that was posted previously, the missing piece :huh:, can’t remember the name right now.
Another thing to know is what will Link be doing in order to progress in the story, such as collecting this to create that and or enter here, for example in OOT where you need all the medallions in order to get inside Ganon’s Castle, etc. Also the purpose of key items(Boss remains in MM = 4 giants = going to the moon/end game)? But like I said, make sure to plan it out first before creating.
But good luck man. XD

there are 6 overworlds. XD
i have a team XD XD XD XD(ME) XD
im using game studio a8 (3d game-studio)
:huh: :huh:
yeah it exits ::)
for free :)
(Im also using unity and blender.
-
Ahh, reminds me of a younger, more ambitious me :)
I think we'd like to see more of your concepts! Box art doesn't tell us much.

I remember when I first had my first beer. jajajaja just kidding. I kind of do, but it was 3 shots of 151 when I was in the 7th grade... and I was !@#$% shitfaced. Anyways.
This reminds me of when I was first getting into GameMaker(haha, that's what the gm means in my name!) and I wanted to do a 3D game. So, I followed Marks Overmars's tutorial on making a 3D first person shooter... I did go a little beyond the scope of the tutorial by adding my own enemies, but that was it. I couldn't do anything more with the project because I lacked the technical know-how to accomplish such a daunting feat. Also, mere experience is a huge plus too.. because you would be more wise.
Some of your choices seem rather far-fetched. I hate to be the guy who ruins your fun but I honestly feel like there's something a bit odd about you.
After hearing Zelda hasn't been seen since being attacked
^ Might want to revise that sentence because I literally asked myself, "wat", when I read it.
You should first develop a story more, then work on the gameplay design. Then you start doing the interesting stuff such as coding. But honestly, you should start with a smaller project. This is seriously a huge task for one person. Try maybe, something 2D? 3D isn't all that great anyways. Its easier to produce higher quality stuff in 2D than it is 3D. Which the quality is what matters anyways.
-
Alright now that I'm less focussed on being an ass, I completely agree with gm112 here. I think you should probably sit down and get your design together. Think about what you really, really want to see in the game, and what you might not have time for. Flesh out a really simple demo of a sprite walking around so that way you kind of have an idea of what the tech would be like. Do simple things first, and then when you're done with the simple, start thinking of things that are slightly more grandiose.

My friend, working alone is not easy, I am doing a project alone I got pretty far and learned a lot of coding as I went(I always asked questions, therefore learn from it and from my mistakes), and there are others doing the same Martjn dh for example and look how far he’s gotten.
Before doing anything you need planning, concepts, etc.
Then comes the coding and gameplay/screens.
Working alone is not easy WL12.
EDIT:
But if you do need a story I can provide you with one of my old concepts that are pretty damn interesting.
For example, Ganon takes over and rules Hyrule for 20 yrs., The hero is killed by Ganon’s men in front of his sons, and his families/friends eyes and the Hero’s sons take off with a friend to avenge their father. In order to progress, the player must reunite all races of Hyrule and destroy 4 fortresses with Hyrule, doing so will cause Ganon’s barriers to fall from Hyrule Town and prompt the sons of the hero to advance, along with their recruits, the reunited races of Hyrule.

sorry...
Back on topic
jeez so many questions!
I am not working alone i have a team. Hylia's Workshop was our "company" name.
Don't be surprised but i am 13. I and i admit i am a little optimistical. XD
we had to plan every detail.
still working on the concept art
6 over-worlds *hint hint* elemental portals *hint hint* forest fire water desert wind shadow
Thats all i can say. I'm at school so i cant say much but yeah that's it.
See ya
Ah!!! That clears up the overworld confusion. Good sir, I think you mean regions. An overworld is something that contains several regions and is pretty much the entire map. Having 6 overworlds is pretty ridonculous unless you have some serious intergallactic action going on.
Don't worry about optimism and enthusiasm. It's really good to have that young. A lot of people lose that at my age. Hold on to it, but keep your feet on the ground there, little man (or woman, you never know when another female might actually join).
-
There is hope for you yet, young one!
Also, please stop double and triple posting. There's an edit button for a reason!
-
I hope it indead is regions, for a zelda fan game with several elemental bound worlds using portals to travel between has already been in production for years. Though it would be interesting to see how different 2 games with a partial same concept but different in every other aspect would be.
But as the others have already said before, we would like to see some more of this and not only the idea.
-
the over-worlds look the same but its resources are bound by the element that gives its name. Also each world has a primary tribe. I guess i could give them away..(Some are obvious) Forest-Human Fire-Goron Water-Zora Desert-Rito Wind-Koroks. Dark-No life forms (In the legend it said that this realm was never used until someone found it)
-
Could you please verify what you mean by "worlds"? What's the purpose in having multiple overworlds? It looks like what you're talkinga bout are different regions of the same world.
Also Human.. don't you mean Hylian? ;p
-
So what happened to Hyrule? Did the goddesses shatter the world due to the races battling against each other? The title and the story feels a bit generic. It's not a bad thing though. But I always believe the story of a game helps make it stand out. I'm assuming there will be either a hub area, where all the portals connect (maybe like a central dungeon?) or this game might have a Mario game layout where you beat the worlds in a certain order. It'd be cool for Link to travel to the fire world just to collect a key or something so he can progress more through the forest world. Helps and improves gameplay and linearity.
Well, that's enough from me, I look forward to seeing this in action. =)

Hi Shane!
Anyway, I hear you got the box art done! http://zfgc.com/forum/index.php?topic=40432.0
So...what about the game itself? And how in the world are you going to make it a Wii U, Gamecube (Seriously?) AND PC game? You need to lower your expectations...a lot. At least before you actually start making the game...

Oh hey Jared! =D
Yeah, I'm curious to why it's being made for the Gamecube also, and not something more modern like the Wii or DS. But start making it just for the PC. Start small, grow big. =)

Info snippet to gm.
Hylians and humans are both mentioned in Zelda game. Hylians have pointed ears and can hear the goddess.
-
whatever you want to call them. Im just saying the human race only lives in the forest.
-
That is a whole lot of swords and shields.

Soooo...are you coding this from scratch or just playing around/hecking the game itself?
-
Actually I have to rely on the wind waker iso and modify and code it myself. It's a bit quicker that way.
-
My job is being the producer,and script planner. I kind of am the one with all the planning ;)
-
Okay, well, it's not really legal to just mess around with the iso and release it...as quick as it is, it's just not legal and not really cool either. As producer and script planner, you don't need a codebase or a game right now as it is. You can plan with paper and whatnot. Wait until you have coders and custom graphics before messing around ;)
-
Ok I get it. Right now I'm just focusing on the jobs above.
-
Phew! The storyline took a while, but I finally finished from beginning to end. Same with the heart pieces!
-
This story has a bit more of interest to it. This is just about the realms and portals. Its also about the balance of the hero of time.

Actually you're entirely right! That's actually the root of the game to connect the portals. The dungeons appear in all realms because of the gods. The gods gave Link a trial to prove he is worth for the master sword. That means each realm is connected to the dungeons in a different way. After defeating the boss his reward is a piece of the master sword. Once he gets all the pieces, he needs to go to the tower of the gods to complete one more challenge to be able to forge them together in one last blessing.
Also about the antagonist, he is not Ganon at all, but he is connected to the term "a thief of the dessert has made his greedy wishes out of the gods power!".

I love it but this game/project is alive? XD

Yeah its still a work in progress although the work is slowed down due to a few amount of helpers. I also am not going to post any updates for a while at least until i have enough people to help us out. :P
-
What's up, need help?

What's up, need help?
Yep, but that depends on what your good at and what you prefer to work on.
