Attention: All PSP/Computer coders come here!!!

[Safari Al]

Last night I was up on the computer searching for zelda oot level editor. Then I stumbled across a youtube video a a computer program called Zelda Ocarina of Time 2d. I found this site with a demo for it. Then I came across two articles saying that the programmer for the game died in a car crash. The other had a resonable explanation saying that he faked his death to abandon the project. Either way the project was abandoned. I brought this up because i was wondering what if this project was finished for not only the computer, but psp as well? I was just wondering if anyone wanted a try at completeing this project for the computer and hopefully even for the PSP. I have got the demo and it doesn't look as good as the one on youtube but could be fixed up. the demo is here:

I think this would really be a great homebrew game. Sorry if this is old or in the wrong place.

[splodger15]

Why dont you just code it instead of anyone else

[carlitx]

because maybe he [like most of us] can not code

[splodger15]

hmm.........................

I might take a shot at this considering I hardly working on anything.

There is no definite that I will complete but I might give a try.

[Safari Al]

No i cannot code. That'd be great splodger15 if you could give it a try. Anybody else is welcome to try also.

[splodger15]

Only problem is GFX and where to find them

XD, OoT2D, wow.

The original OOT2D was made by Daniel Barras, aka TRM, though he has not shown any definitive proof of his progress since about Christmas 2003, when the fabled "Demo 4" was to be released that allowed you to go up to Gohma (sp?).

However, even though the OoT2D project is most likely fake, he did create ZFGC, Zelda Fan Game Central, which continues to be an active community with many talented spriters and programmers.

One guest to ZFGC decided to make his own OOT2D, which is the one you are referring to. A month or two ago, he did indeed fake his death because he couldn't finish the product and didn't want to disappoint his fans.

Regardless, splodger15, there wouldn't be too much of a problem finding resources if you wanted to make a Zelda fangame, as ZFGC has tons, and there are also sites like The Spriter's Resource and The Shy Guy Kingdom where you can find some good sprites.

Just a couple of samples of some of the graphics that were created long ago to help TRM with his project:

So yeah, resources wouldn't be a major problem if someone wanted to make a Zelda fangame. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/danthemanms/linkdance.gif

[baracki96]

What language has been used for it so far?

[Safari Al]

The site that DanThemanMS pointed out is the best one to find sprites and such. I really think it'd be to hard for one person to code after reading more about it. You may need a group of people http://www.zfgc.com/index.php?topic=904.90 <-- This site has a post that has downloads for other demos that people attempted.

[carlitx]

nice find guys and leave it to splodger to take it on:D:D

[acn010]

this project is dead

[splodger15]

Thanks for those sites I will check those out.

Thanks DanTheManMS.

I have the menu code done although I am not to sure on what the game should be called.

The Legend Of
Zelda
Something, Something

Anyone got any Ideas

[DanTheManMS]

I was never any good at titles, the best I could come up with was "Myths of Hyrule"

In any case, there are some items that may help you create a LttP-style title screen if you'd like. I actually posted them for someone else yesterday - http://www.zfgc.com/index.php?topic=17559.0

[Safari Al]

Ya for right now i wouldn't worry about the title screen name splodger It'll come to ya. That's great that you got the menu coe done. Somewhere on the site there are title screens that people made and if you would like me to I could ask them to let us use it

I just checked DanTheMan's link and it was perfect for title screens. Thanks Dan.
If anyone wants to help w/ the title screen feel free to. I will try to make one also.

[-Xandu-]

Coding a side-scroller needs a hell lot of time and ideas.

Like Super Mario Power Stars, I stopped working on it to work on XMP2 ;).

[Safari Al]

spolger, is that the title that you came up with for the game cause its pretty good! I'm still working on the title screen and if you need any help setting up the site, I can do that too. Great job

I'd worry about the game first, yet the title and "the menu"..

[Gold Line]

i know about this the guys name is dampe, he did fake he's own death, but he never resealed the source so you will have to start from scratch :(

[splodger15]

Well.

I have the animation done nearly and may release an alpha soon although not alot would be there for you to do but its just showing you.

Edit: Finally Got A Site up

You can check it out here

[-Xandu-]

Well.

What are you coding it in?

[gdf]

faked his own death to stop the project? bit severe. and best of luck splodge dude, you'll need it...

[splodger15]

Xandu Its being coded in Lua I would have done it in C although I dont know enough of the language

[-Xandu-]

Xandu Its being coded in Lua I would have done it in C although I dont know enough of the language

Alright, if you need any help, just PM me ;).

[splodger15]

Wow thanks Xandu I will do

[Safari Al]

Very nice spoldger. When did I bring this up?...2 days ago? and look at the progress splodger has made. awesome.

EDIT: I registered splodger.

[gdf]

LUA? Do you intend it for PSP or PC?

[splodger15]

PSP its going to have like a top view of it and you can walk around although when I hopefully release just a little progress it will just be around Links house although you will be able to notice the GFX

[Safari Al]

Are you using gfx from zfgc or your own custom ones?

Edit: I am currently working on a title screen for you :thumbup:

EDIT2: Finished not too good though. Open fr suggestions credit for sword to dark_link(zfgc) and DanTheManMS.

http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/6950/testur5.jpg

I will delete the black part on the bottom and top.

[Gene]

Wow this project came out of nowhere and it sounds like it will be good. I wish you guys the best of luck!

That's really good, but it looks like the logo could be a bit bigger.

[Safari Al]

K ill probably do that. Any more suggestions?

http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/7396/test2nobpr8.jpg

same credits just resized it. I'll get rid of the annoying gray things on the edges of the Z and other letters later

Open to suggestions

[Gene]

Looks good to me! Nice work.

[-Xandu-]

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u120/SXandu/LOZROH.png

[Safari Al]

That looks pretty good Xandu! Change the font though other than that its good.

here's my attempt at the sword through the z

http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/1931/testrohhm5.jpg

I am thinking about turning the sword upside down and if Xandu won't mind a triforce in the back(thought that was pretty cool)
Suggestions

EDIT!!!!
Put the triforce in back, got rid of gray stuff on edges of letters, Sword flipped


http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/4003/riseofhyrulept3.png

Took a long time to do gray stuff and find triforce. Credits to DanTheManMS and Dark_Link

Suggestions are welcome!

[Alex0692]

looking good any idea on when the final game will be ready? these things take a hell of a long time to do anyway keep it up and let me know.

[parkermauney]

So far I like Xandu's, it just doesn't seem to have as much wasted space.

[Safari Al]

So should I make the logo bigger?

[Alex0692]

think it looks good how it is. try making it that little bit bigger and see what people think.
nice skills by the way you do all that yourself?

[rbervoets]

Heres a video

http://www.monkeyproductions.frihost.net/oot2d/Oot2D-Dekutreetrailer.wmv

It was in with the link!

[Safari Al]

Alex0692:
Thanks for your comments and no i found most of the graphics online and had to modify them to work together and it took a while. Dark_Link made the sword and DanTheManMS gave me links to the background and Zelda thingy and letters. I found the triforce. And by the way splodgger just started the project so it will be a while.

rbervoets:
That is a link to a former OOT2D made by Richard Denton aka Dampe. He either faked his death to stop work on the project or did die in a car crash. I get reasonable explanations on both sides.

By the way Please sign up on the official site located here (http://www.riseofhyrule.co.nr/) please.

[carlitx]
