Graphics / A collection of my old LoZ HUD's

« on: March 17, 2007, 03:55:48 pm »

Title. But please note that I made these back when I was still SolemnGamerForever (almost two years ago), so it says to credit me as SGF. But if you are to use these now, you know that's not the name to credit. Also, if they're not too good, I'm not too experienced as a spriter, so don't be too harsh.


First HUD that was any good. It was good for the rupees, the heart is somewhat inaccurate. Feel free to edit that extra pixel out before using it if you have to.


My first rip of an HUD, from A Link To The Past. If I remember correctly, this is the one I got the most positive criticism for.


A custom rupee and some custom number sprites.


The hearts from OoT, made from scratch. Feel free to mess around with the alpha of the "defense hearts," as I call them (when the fairy near Ganon's Castle increases your defense)


The hearts are the good part of this one. The rest... eh...


And the rupees are the good part of THIS one. The hearts are okay, but you may think them a little inaccurate.



EDIT: Off topic.... YAY, 200 POSTS ^_^

EDIT2: Change of plans, you don't need to credit me for them, as they're old and I don't even use them anymore.

Entertainment / I got a GB Micro ^_^

« on: March 04, 2007, 12:05:02 am »

Title. Got the black one. And it's really cool... you know, with the faceplates, brighter backlight on the screen, smaller size, etc. I also noticed that it gets more battery life than my DS did (That's not the whole reason I got it, though. I got it because my DS's memory was messed up, and the hinge was broken because of my little brothers... didn't want it breaking more)

Anyway... I got it used for $50. Not bad. But the faceplates are really beat up >_< Gonna get new ones soon. Anyway, I'm using a camo faceplate (you know... the army suit design) and I like how it looks on my Micro. And I like how some of my games look on it, compared to how they looked on my DS and my GBA-SP.

So... Who else has got it, and what accessories do you use with it?

Audio / "Eve Of Sorrow" Version 3

« on: February 05, 2007, 02:42:59 am »

This is a song that I had originally released back in August on Kousou Games and PureZC. I'd updated it once, changing around the instruments, but that was only released on PZC until just earlier today, when I released versions 2 and 3 on Kousou. I just updated it again, adding a rhythm part.

This rhythm part is rock based. So it'll be a slow version of what you'd expect in a rock song. I think I overdid it on the fills, but it sounds great.

http://solarrain.110mb.com/midis/EveOfSorrow_V3.mid

One more thing: It stops abruptly at the end, without finishing with an E-minor chord on the piano. Can you guess what this means? Yes, it's written for looped playback.

Give it a listen and tell me what you think ^_^

Entertainment / Some lyrics my friend wrote a while back.

« on: January 28, 2007, 07:42:46 pm »

Yeah, my friend Kyle M. wrote these a while back for my band (when he was still in it <_< ). They don't rhyme, but when I arranged the song after writing the music part, it sounded cool together.

It's a love song, called Inverted.

We all have that one special girl
That makes us feel all funny inside.
But we need her in our lives.
We all know we may have a chance,
but we are too afraid
To ask that question that could change our lives.

Girl, you invert me.
You're the one who can change my life.
I wish there was a way for me
To get you to understand my feeling.

I have that special girl in my life.
I know how it feels, wishing and waiting.
If only I had the confidence
To ask that one question.
Then my life could change for better or for worse.

Girl, you invert me.
You're the one who can change my life.
I wish there was a way for me
To get you to understand my feeling.
(repeat chorus)

(solo)

(sing chorus)

(song end)

Recruitment / Help Wanted - Gaming Central (Just a layout designer and I'll call it even)

« on: January 25, 2007, 11:18:01 pm »

I've posted about this before, but meh.

Gaming Central, if you don't know yet, is a forum I started earlier in the month that is gaming and entertainment based. We are currently looking for, not only new members (well, if that was the reason I posted, I'd be posting in the wrong board no matter where I posted O_o), but for people to help out as well.

Here's what we need:

1 Forum Layout Designer
EDIT: I just decided to leave it at a layout designer and then call it quits for recruiting.


This is where the forum is located. I'd use an SMF forum on another host, but as I already stated, I can't find any free hosts that support PHP...

gamingcentral.smfforfree2.com

Thanks in advance.

Discussion / Sonic game (Not titled yet.)

« on: November 20, 2006, 02:24:52 am »

Anyway, yeah, I'm going to work on a Sonic game with my brother... No idea what it's going to be called yet, but I do know that it's going to be in Sonic Advance graphics.

Going to start working on it this week. I'll try to throw together a zone and make a mockup sometime soon.

The Legend of Zelda: The Lost Kingdom

STORY
In the land of Termina, one boy was well known... One boy known as the Hero of Time...
This boy had rescued Termina from the falling moon and the wrath of Majora's Mask...
But on his way back to his home land of Hyrule...
A mysterious portal appeared, sucking him in... There was no escape...
He appeared in a normal looking town, the people were going about their business and whatever you would expect from a town...
But then a soldier appeared and asked him to come to the castle.
The king, a tall man with a red suit and a moustache, told him, "This land is Maurenia. I have brought you here myself."
Link asked, "Why?"
The king continued. "I have heard of your exploits, how you saved Hyrule from Ganondorf, and Termina from Majora. I want to ask you... Ganon has returned and is attacking our land... Will you save us?"
Link willingly agreed to take on this quest, and set off...

INFO
This game is going to be made in Game Maker 6.1. It's going to be in LTTP or MC graphics, or maybe mixed (since they go well together), I'm not totally sure. It will have quite a few custom items, and of course many of the usual ones. I will attempt to put the ocarina in this game, but no guarantees.

Audio / If you record your music, how do you do it?

« on: July 28, 2006, 02:09:20 am »

Title. I mean, do you use an 8-track, your comp, or what? I use a TASCAM US-122 USB audio/MIDI interface to record on my computer, using the Audacity program.

Graphics / Another Custom HUD (first in a while... yet probably a bit lame, as usual.)

« on: July 23, 2006, 01:27:46 am »

Well, here ya go:



I intended this to be stuck in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen... Thought it'd be cool if it was put in a different place than what we've seen so many times already.

Oh, and also... This is sort of a rearrangement of one of the ones I made when I still went by SolemnGamerForever.

Audio / "Eve Of Sorrow" [Completed!]

« on: July 16, 2006, 01:48:37 am »

This MIDI is unfinished, as the topic suggests, but hey, it's a start. It's called Eve of Sorrow. {Edit: Nope, I finished it last night ;D}

It's a bit repetitive, but the instruments come in one at a time in the first minute-and-ten-seconds, which gives a good sound. There are two pianos, an electric bass, and a choir voice. Right now, it's only 1:50, but the finished MIDI will be around 2:30-ish, which is an average length for a song.

Also, the order in which the instruments come in is... (skip this if you don't want it to be spoiled for you) piano, bass, second piano, and choir.

Also, if the name is taken by any chance, please let me know and I will try to think of a new title.

EveOfSorrow.mid

Edit: I tried to upload it, but it didn't seem to upload right when the page uploaded here. Hold on, while I find a place to host it...

Edit 2: I uploaded it to MegaworM. The link is on the post now, as you may have already noticed.

Edit 3: I'm done with it now! The link above is now for the finished version.

Title. I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004, so you can either give me the HTML coding or where to go to put it in.

Coding / [Request / Listing] Help with Sword Engine (GM 6.1)

« on: May 06, 2006, 09:58:42 pm »

Okay, I need some help. When I'm trying to program a sword engine with a Link sheet like MaJoRa's, how do I make the sword so that it doesn't appear above Link when he slashes up, or for the beginning of the slash when to the side?

Discussion / The Legend of Zelda: The Lost Kingdom [First Mockup]

« on: May 06, 2006, 02:45:28 am »

The Legend of Zelda: The Lost Kingdom

This is a game I started work on about a week ago. The engine is just started, and I have the movement, rolling, sword, and part of the HUD engine, done.

Story:

It was a new day... one not to be soon forgotten...

Link had just saved the land of Termina from a falling moon and the evil clutches of Majora's Mask...

But on his way back to Hyrule...

Link was sucked in by a mysterious portal that appeared out of nowhere... He tried to escape, but failed.

He appeared in what appeared to be a normal town in a land called Maurenia. A minute later, a soldier appeared and asked Link to come to the castle.

Link met up with the King of Maurenia. It turns out he has heard of Link, and how he saved both Hyrule AND Termina. Although he had nothing to do with Link being sucked into Maurenia, he tells Link how Ganon is invading the land, and asks Link to save it.

Link agrees to save the land, and sets off on yet another journey.


Screenies:

(N/A)

Mockups:

Link in Maurenia Town (Old design)



No demos yet. I plan to have one out when I get the first dungeon done.


Progress:

Maps:
Maurenia Town (New): 50%
Overworld: 0% (excluding Maurenia Town)
Level 1 - Forest Depths: 100%
Level 2 - Crater of Mount Drathas: 100%
Level 3 - Ice Tower: 0%
Level 4 - Temple of the Earth: 0%
Level 5 - Air Temple: 0%
Level 6 - Palace of Shadows: 0%

Discussion / LOZ: The Lost Kingdom (I have a feeling this title is taken... If so, tell me.)

« on: April 30, 2006, 07:40:21 pm »

This is a game that I started production on today using my old Crystals of Time engine (I cancelled COT). It will be made in MC graphics and take place after MM. I WAS going to make it in LTTP graphics, but I decided not to... Some things will be LTTP-ish, but not all of it.

Although this is now WIP, I have no screenies, mockups, or demos. So until I have something to show, it belongs here.

Story (Overview)

On his way back to Hyrule from Termina, Link is sucked in by a mysterious portal (Does this scenario remind you of another fan game's intro?). He appears in a normal looking town in a land called Maurenia. Later, Link is brought to the palace, and the king tells him that the land is being raided by Ganon, and he begs Link to save the land. Link agrees and sets off on yet another journey...


I hope to have some screenies up soon, and hopefully a demo in a month or so.
