Hey, Ahimo, when you enter Gohma's lair, does link turn around to face the door that barricades him, then when he hears Gohma, he turns around?.......tried that, but it looks really bad in 2d
(I've been away, and really don't wanna go through 26 pages of reading.)
That screenshot actually took me backThanks
ok then...10 years.
Guys don't put tons of pressure on him, it'll take forever to get the whole thing done without bugs.
Well not quite; actually if people start with a proper engine first, then develop the game around it the game should stay generally bug free. Most of your actual 'game bugs' would be found during the engines development. The issues that arise later would simply be aesthetics.QuoteAsking him that question will just give you a horribly estimated number resulting in probably dissapointment. The main thing I see the problem in most of these OOT2D projects is that the creators release it too early with tons of bugs and not much features. I'd at least get done with the Deku Tree before I give a demo out, that would end before the deku tree. So you're always ahead of the demo by a bit, and you only post new demos on major milestones, like the entire Deku Tree, then the entire Hyrule Castle all the way to Zelda, then to Death Mountain, then Dodongos cavern. Big updates are better, because that way people will have time to explore them quite a bit. I guess we're just here to test the glitches anyway.
Well; the issue is mainly that the person developing it sees what they wanted to see initially when they had the idea of developing in the first place. There's usually some mental trigger that tells us "I need to see *insert element* in 2d! I bet I could do it!" and once we end up accomplishing that small element in 2d, we're done with our project mentally. We'll get bored with it beyond that.
You know you didn't add walls around links house? As in if X was the entrance, and S was the walkable area. This is what you could do.wow. i feel really stupid

Mhm...
Have you actually done anything else on this game since March, as in finishing the first dungeon?Yes. the first dungeon is DONE!!!!!
You know that when you dive you can go anywhere right?No, its all the same object..... that happens because I made it so you can only walk through the door by walking, because the slashing used to sometimes collide with the door. Its an easy fix, and fixed already
You just hold the dive button and go wherever. I posted screenies on your GMC topic.
I got past mido without a shield, and got owned at the deku scrub, which seems just to be one of those turret engines I saw awhile ago.
No offense, but really your engine just feels like a couple of tutorials mashed together.
Your collisions are still bad, rolling gets you past areas, meaning you didn't change the sprite, but you changed the entire object to a rolling object, which obviously has no collision with whatever you used to change maps. Same with holding pots. Rolling is useless, restricting movement and it doesn't increase speed at all, and the origins are off.
My thoughts, possibly a bit rude, but needs a lot of work engine wise...

I'm working on themLet's try and be cool about constructive criticism, guys. There are no insults in criticism.Sorry, what? There are no insults in any of our posts. It's just the way he put it, it sounds like he's attacking the project, while I'm sure he isn't.
1st of. Colisions. This is the first thing to try and perfect when making a zelda fan-game. It's just so important, I kept getting stuck in your demo. I see you're using GM, try and use masks for every place you can collide with instead of just using the object's sprite. Make a mask for Link aswell.
2nd. ORIGINS. Seriously, whenever you use the sword, your character wiggles all over the screen. You quite clearly messed up the sprite's origins. Look at Link when he runs, his shadow goes up and down. Try messing with the origins for a while and get that right, otherwise your game will feel cheap.
3rd. Rolling looks weird, aswell as the animation. Maybe it should animate faster, try using image_speed to fix that.
There are a few more problems but I just can't remember them off the top of my head.
You should try and get these things done before you continue with development. They're big issues. Other than that, it looks like you got something going.
Best of luck!!
WHAT THE FU--BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!
Where have you been man!?
Guys, I told you ahmio would come backI'm sorry. I was overflowed with homework, etc... and my computer is still laggy. At least the sound works
I agree fully with Jeod's comment!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
....cruzbr....that was quite the limited response.
Anyway, I still am not giving up hope on ahmio. He may have exams and whatnot to deal with. Maybe his computer exploded, who knows.QuoteMaybe his computer exploded, who knows.* Xiphirx walks off slowly

He was last active April 30, 2009, 03:30:19 AM, that's a loong time ago. Seems pretty busy.
!!!!!
That's never, ever happened to me...... Has it happened to anyone else ?NEW DEMO!!!
I'm sorry to say this, but I can describe your demo in 1 word: HORRIBLE!
I've tried the demo a half dozen times, before I erased it from my harddrive. The reason: I couldn't get to the Deku Tree. My computer crashes once I get to a different area than Kokiri Forest. If I go to the Lost Woods or in a house, the memory usage goes through the roof and there is continuously reading and writing from and to the HD. It literally takes a minute to process a key press at that moment.
I think you have to look over your code.
Yeah, and i won't be giving up any time soon......
Done.i need it in the normal LTTP talking font for the A button... :'(
The steeped on tiles aren't as bad as the shadows under the bushes though. There shouldn't be any shadows.they're just temporary....
