I whipped up a new HUD. Credit to cazallx for the hearts, and Credit to Deku_Stick for the flippers.

Dark Xion was working on the enginge last I heard. When he finishes that, we can post in WIP. We should make a new topic, though. This one should be like a discussion for new ideas, that one should showcase them, and inform people.

Hey I'm not actually a member for making this thing (well duh you know that) but I have a suggestion. I was playing MM as Goron Link and thought of this. What if you put the masks in the game somehow. And each gave you different abblities such as Goron Link would have the magic/spike ability and/or he could control rolling around. This could be a sort of power up so instead of just moving the flippers you could actually move Link.

Those are some great suggestions Bboy94!

so, what has been done so far?

I'll try to summarize (correct any mistakes or any omissions I forgot and left out)
  • Game title: The Legend Of Zelda: The Chrome Ball Chronicles
  • Graphics style: Minish Cap
  • Gameplay style: similiar to Sonic Spinball
  • Resources obtained so far: Link sprites, flipper sprites, HUD

Also different people have been doing a lot of brainstorming on gameplay details and storyline. What was the result of the Reg/Unreg poll? I assume this is officially being programmed in Registered GM?

... I never have enough graphics ppl. I will just make a pinball engine now to test it out if you want, but how do want it to work, just basic pinball, or do u want to be able to control link at certain times in pinball mode?

I thought this was going to be similiar in style to Sonic Spinball? Maybe for now, just create a simple pinball engine, then later expand on it.

I would need a full graphics set (talking at least one level, the flippers the character and everything else you would want in the first level) before I would start programming anything

Do we have a full graphics set yet? jackofalltrades, I know you mentioned that you were working on the sprite font, how is that coming along?

While we're waiting on Dark Xion to finish the engine maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to start posting game resources (sprites, tiles, sfx, music) that would be appropriate for the game (in Minish Cap style.) I also thought it might help development if, whoever was interested, started putting together some mockups to help in the brainstorming. Maybe begin designing the layout of the levels, etc.

Also, what does everyone think of having the resources external to the program? I think it would be cool if this game was modifiable and it might would help with download sizes. As updates to the game would become available a user would only have to download those specific parts instead of the whole package. (Engine, graphical updates, etc.) Just a thought.

Thx Shanech
Um, Jackofalltrades (I'm trying to say this without sounding arrogant, but it's hard.) If you need help with the story (You're the one doing the story right) I might be able to help (again not trying to sound arrogant) cuz I'm pretty creative.

 :o lots a parentheses.

Yes, I am, and yes, it is coming along, but no one can see it yet. Sorry, I just like to keep stories secret.

Also, I like the idea of modifying the graphics.

And, about the font, I said I needed help on it, so if you want, it might be easier to use MC font. It's basically the same.

Oh ok I understand JackofallTrades.
I have another suggestion for the mask idea but it's pretty simple. Goron Link could also have his ground pound and jump. Deku Link could shoot bubbles, use Deku flowers, and walk on water.  And Zora Link could swim, (unlike normal Link, remember sometimes he needs flippers) create his electric forcefield, and I think the boomerang fins shouldn't be in the game cause I like the regular boomerang but whatever not my game, and finally if you don't choose to do boomerang fins you could make an electric attack so it's not just a forcefield.
Sorry if I'm imposing on you guys with my ideas these are just some opinions I  thought would be cool and wanted to share them.

but be sure to give him credit.  also, i'l make a new topic in the WIP when we at least get 1 screen and one test engine.

Hey sorry, I was outta state unexpectedly for a little bit, but anyways it's just about done, i have everything except how I am gonna make the physics system work, and I had a question about that. Have any of you ever heard of GM Physics? It's a really good external library that allows for some of the best physics in GM Games, I was wondering I could should use that, the only reason I ask, is because it will no longer be a self contained exe file to run the game, you will instead need a dll in the same folder as the exe to play, once you get back to me on this I can finish and I will send an exe and the gm6 to dlbrooks or jackofalltrades. Again sorry for taking so long.
