Q&A
  TFS, will you really finish this?
       A.  Couldn't tell ya.  Plan on it, but the future could change anything.
  TFS, when will we get a demo?
       A.  As soon as all characters (Light,Medium,Heavy) are fully functional upto level 3; the first chapter is finished; and title screen with menu system implemented.  I'd say maybe a couple of weeks.
  TFS, what is the game like?
       A.  Basically like the old beat 'em ups of the SNES era, but you will still feel a heavy presence of LttP.
  TFS, what graphical style are you using?
       A. Link to the Past since it is a nicely detailed style that I can actually edit decently.
  TFS, will this game support saving?
       A. No.  The game will, however, have a leader board and achievements system.  I plan to have users start the game with a unique user name(if they choose online play).  Then the times, monsters killed, etc will be recorded on their respective leader boards.
  TFS, can I SEX u?
       A.  If you really want to...I guess >.>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHAT IS LEFT UNTIL DEMO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Collisions

Bumpdate!

Just replying to let you guys know that all that is left for me to do in order to release a demo is program a couple more monsters, add a HUD, the character select screen, collision system, and finish mapping the first level.

First three are at levels 1 and 2.

The bottom two show light and medium at level 3.

Heavy does not get an upgrade until level 4.

Re: [WIP] Legend of Zelda Adventure

Is there anyway to tell them apart visually, or is it by the weapon they use?

As of right now it is broken down by weapons :/


All of the level ups are real time/in-game
Here's the breakdown of upgrades per level(which is not really a level...just after so many points you get full health and a possible upgrade).:

LIGHT
Starts out with Flame Staff and Green Tunic

~ level 3 - receives a mithril cane which shoots magic missiles
~ level 5 - receives a blue tunic(less damage taken)
~ level 7 - receives a Red Rod(abilities undetermined)
~ level 10  receives a Red Tunic(even less damage taken)
~ level 13  receives a Blue Rod(possible ice attack)
~ level 15  dual wield(gains the ability of using both the red rod and blue rod in tandem)

MEDIUM
Starts out with basic sword, green tunic, and small shield

~ level 3 - receives a mithril sword(more damage)
~ level 4 - receives a heavy shield(can repell more attacks)
~ level 5 - receives a blue tunic(takes less damage)
~ level 7 - receives a red sword(possible sword beam w/ full health)(more damage)
~ level 9 - receives a gold shield(can reflect some magic)
~ level 11  receives a red tunic(even less damage taken)
~ level 13  receives a gold sword(permanent sword beam)(more damage)
~ level 15  receives an ancient shield(can't tell ya yet )

HEAVY
Starts out with a hammer, green tunic, and small shield

~ level 4 - receives a mithril hammer(more damage)
~ level 6 - receives a blue tunic(less damage taken)
~ level 7 - receives a heavy shield(can repel more attacks)
~ level 9 - receives an axe(more damage: possible throwing ability?)
~ level 12  receives a red tunic(least damage taken)
~ level 14  receives a gold shield(some magic reflected)
~ level 15  receives some kind of dual-headed axe(most powerful attack in the game)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am trying to find some kind of risk/reward.
By the estimates and what not with the ideas I have, the easiest character to play would be the Medium character with the Light just a slight touch harder because of less health.
The hardest character to play would be the Heavy character but once/if you reach level 15, you would have the strongest attack in the entire game.

Here's a breakdown of health/skill power:
LIGHT
6 hearts , longest special/skill bar to fill

MEDIUM
8 hearts, mid sized special/skill bar

HEAVY
10 hearts, smallest sized special/skill bar
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specials would be useable once a certain amount of combos or damage taken.
Haven't ironed out what I want yet...probably would change based on level so as to entice the player to keep playing to see the new special.



Just a loooooooooooooooooooooong answer to your question
