This is my first project for the NDS. It's a Zelda platformer. I'm doing my best with this game. I have already Implemented:

-> Collision system for any map of any size
-> Level system, every level is a .c file with it's images. Easy Level change. I can do as many levels as I want :D
-> Bombs that hurts the hero when exploding
-> Arrows Implemented
-> Most of the swords attacks implemented, normal, in the air and spin attack in the floor and in the air.
-> Title screen
-> Life system with hearts just like in traditional Zelda
-> Lots of sounds for the hero
-> 8 direction boomerang with a well done movement :)

Credits to Semijuggalo for his awesome Link sprites

I haven't yet decided the name, so let's call this game "Zelda Platformer" :P

Visit my Website (http://usuarios.lycos.es/lupidangame/) to see any updates or the vote in the poll :D

Thanks for your feedback.

OOOoooooo... Zelda. Drool Lol. It's a very intresting premise for a game. Keep up the good work.

:eek: :D This is amazing! Platform Zeldas are my favorite!!!...Well, there was only 1, but it was way underrated. This will be a very good game especially with the use of items and weapons. Consider me from now on to be a loyal fan.

[lupidan]

Thanks for all the feedback :)
Now I'm doing a enemies engine so I can create an enemie with just a function. I'm working very hard to get the engine done, once that it will all be creating levels.

I plan to release a demo once I have the basics and the tutorial level done ;)

[Vegetable]

Well, there was only 1, but it was way underrated.

Three, actually.

[cnt2010]

Three, actually.
That would be the CDI Zeldas, right?
Yeah, I guess you could count them. :p

I can't wait for the demo. Lupi, you are awesome.

[Öhr]

you know that it is illegal, or do you have the license of nintendo to use links name???

the letters look like the ones in dslua...

[Praxis]

If he doesn't sell it for money then it is fine that he uses Link's name IIRC.

*remembers the chrono cross remake fondly*

too bad that was shut down, even though it was to be a free title too, utilizing the unreal engine.

your treading on soft ground. hope it works out tho. looks great.

btw...are those modified megaman zero sprites? :P

[lupidan]

Those sprites are from a website, Spriters Resource, a person named Semijuggalo made them, and yes, I yhink they are based on Megaman Zero Sprites.

And no, it's not illegal, there is also a webpage with lots of Zelda games in progress for the PC and as long as you don't sell it is perfectly legal. www.zfgc.com <--

[DimensionT]

This and other games like this are about as illegal as a 5 year old kid tracing a picture of a Pokemon or something and giving it to his mom. OMG!!! That kid just stole a copyrighted picture and gave it away for free!!! Put him in jail!!! Lol...

The analogy used does not reflect my opinion on the quality of Lupidan's work. :p

[Gamelver]

oooh...looks great :).

you should definitely use some Zelda II music, though :D. mmmm......Zelda II....and...*bleargh*...Zelda CDI :p.

never played those (CDI zelda games), actually, but I seem to remember them looking like crap, and supposedly being played so as well.

[RedKing14CA]

A reason to buy an NDS... maybe ill get one after i get my PC built....

[GaMeR_2000]

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Major love for my main man Link!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks amazing!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!

yea it looks RLY familiar. but i dont care that game was hella good and ran fluidly. if u can do that on this game it would be 10x better then mega man.

i love the look of the game so far. i took a look at ur website and its all spanish :| w/e, just keep up the updates mayne. cant w8 for this game.

PS: if u want some good zelda music go to this website www.ocremix.org it has a bunch of remixed zelda songs. my fave is gerudo peeples and it would be SO sick if u put that in the game. ;) good luck.

[DeclanM]

how did u make it dude? i mean wat program :D

[The Hombrew Hunter]

They must be. They are COOL though. A sprite comic uses them. The sword and standing made it clear, that's MMZ.

[justicejj91]

while were on the subject of zelda, someone should try to port Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask as a DS homebrew...

[Shadowblind]

whew, that'd be something. Its not exactly legal, is it?
But thats a cool idea.

[shadowking]

sweet. ima zelda fan so ima surely play dis game lol. o and like kichigai said, those do look like edited megaman sprites lol, it has da same movement style. who cares tho it looks nice. great job :D

[lexluthor]

Nintendo have no right to shut him down. Its not like this game is going to in anyway effect their sales. Whilst it may be played by a fairly large homebrew audience in comparision to the genral DS owning public.. thats tiny.

[masterpaul]

The ground graphics that you using... don't match.
I'm sure that you could find better graphics for that.

And if you can't find better graphics I could help you. Just PM me.

[ACID]

Man this looks nice kudos

[TrevorBoyd]

me and my brother cannot wait for a demo of this game.(we just got our Supercards.) I think it looks nice....just please put out a demo soon!!!

thanks,

TrevorBoyd

[lupidan]

Hi, Lupi here.
I'm soon releasing a demo, very soon, I'm now working so hard to get a nice demo done.

Cya ;)

[The Hombrew Hunter]

WOOOOO Can't wait for full version!

Wow, you're the only coder on this game...You rock!

AND, since I have 210 MB left, I can fit it on WOO!

[lupidan]

OK GUYS, I UPLOADED A DEMO
More info in my website:

I want to send this new to the admin, how to do it? :confused:

[Junixx]

I am waiting to to download this game :)

About sending to admin, i think you can post something in the "Submit News" forum

~Edit~

Ok, it wouldnt play on my GBAMP, but i played it in Dualis and i must say it is a very good demo!

[nights0223]

Awesome demo. I have been following your progress for a while, and I must say, I am most impressed. Everything works so smooth (well, except the sword swinging animation, heheh). I can't wait til the game is completed. Nice work.

[lexluthor]

Has there been any more work on this.. outside the demo. It looked to be such a great release. Hope it hasnt died out like so many other great projects..

[Flawless_2007]

Now there needs to be a smash bros...lol

[Zure123]

actually there is one smash bros but its a tactical game ^^
