Title: [Pre] Zelda: HFP
Post by: Henry on September 18, 2007, 07:35:09 pm

::==============::
Background information
::==============::

I've noticed that the majority of Zelda fan-games are made with GameMaker. Unlike those games' programmers, my game programming is mostly done in Flash. I've made a couple of little things in Flash such as games and personal Flash animations, but for the past few months, I've been working on a Zelda fan-game. The reason (other than the obvious fun-factor creating games can give)? I needed something to help separate my fan-site, Zelda Dimension (owned by myself, and my girlfriend), from other fan-sites.

Of course, a Zelda fan-game is anything but new and different, which is why I'm working on a game that's not your normal Zelda fan-game, nor is it a wanna-be-MMORPG. Everything is saved online, and while it's largely related to Zelda, it's basically its own game, too. Other than The Adventure of Link, Nintendo hasn't made Zelda games use an actual RPG formula - well, I'm going to try to. This takes away from the experience that you get when playing action-based Zelda games, but oh well - it'll create its own new experience (I hope).

Other bits of information

For 2007's April Fools, we released this (http://zeldadimension.net/exclusive_games/zelda_hfp/april_fools.php).

More information regarding our fan-game can be viewed on the official Zelda: HFP site (http://zeldadimension.net/exclusive_games/zelda_hfp/index.php).

The game has a different aspect to it from other Zelda games in case a situation with Nintendo's franchise comes into concern. That way, we will be able to change some things around, but not the "entire game".

I noticed this on your site a while ago. It's looking good so far.

The graphics makes this game look really fun, I'll support this as long as it's not like TLoZ: The Lampshade. =P

Thanks for the support, guys.

Well, The Lampshade of No Real Significance was my inspiration towards actually making a Zelda fan-game. Previously, for my site, I made things like interactive maps in flash (for example, The Great Sea for The Wind Waker).

Oh wow, Henry, I had no idea you came to ZFGC.

As for your fan game, it seems you've got some great ideas so far but not a lot of progress. The one screenshot promises an interesting use of Flash, and I do look forward to seeing what you'll pull out with this project. There's not a lot to comment on so far, though.

Yup, I do come here, and I know there's not much to show, but thanks for the support.

A new screenshot was added to the first post in this topic. The screenshot is from the login page, and although you can't tell from the JPG, the lines on the giant Twilight Portal change colors, and the inner circles, and Triforce symbol rotate.
