LoZ ORPG GUI WIP + Map Mockup

[Dark Crusade]

Here's a treat from K&J Productions for Halloween, a preview of our upcoming game, Legend of Zelda ORPG. Keep in mind, the GUI is a work in progress, and the map is a mockup.

Enjoy-


Feedback welcome, thanks!

I have three words for this.

Thanks for the post, and considering that this is a work in progress mockup, I can confidentially say-

_It will only get bigger, it will only get better_

Looks pretty damn epic, ive been looking for a zelda mmorpg for soooo long. Everything looks great, i no im not supposed to comment on the sprite but it would be a perfect screenshot without it.

Thanks Marsh, we hope to make the first successful LoZ ORPG. What do you mean by perfect screenshot without the sprite though?

[codemeister1990]

It looks more natural without the character sprite, try photoshopping it out
Also…I don't like the character sprite, its too large, I liked the ones from the gbc/gba games more  :cheesy:
Just as a side note ^
anyways, the map looks AWESOME

I should have explained it more, i meant that everything in that screenshot looks perfect to me, there is nothing i would change. Except that sprite, i don't like the look of it.

Why would we photoshop it out? Its a mockup of the in-game experience. It is the main player sprite (with a green tunic, kokiri sword and shield). If you don't think it fits in, we probably can try and change the palette again for the sprite. If we wanted to remove the sprite, we could do something easier like paste a ground tile or two over him.

Ok, just read Marsh's post. Might have to get some more opinions on the sprite, and then we'll consider adding some changes.

What do others think?

[codemeister1990]

I'm assuming since your a zelda fan you've played OoA? and OoS?
Those kinda sprites
or the first zelda. Those were my favourite sprites
The second zelda game was alright, sprite was kinda weird
never got far into the game anyways, got bored

[Dark Crusade]

Take it from me, its pretty insane to make a 32x64 sprite in the style of the old NES/GB sprites. And we are trying to go for a LTTP feel, but plan to remake the OoT hyrule in 2D.

[Minilinkki]

totally win.

LTTP?

[Marsh]

im guessing link to the past. It was the best zelda game hands down.

[codemeister1990]

Link to the past…link to the past....
screenshot? I can't remember which one that is

Bump, more feedback on the sprites would be great.

[codemeister1990]

the sprite is too large compared to the map
lower the leg and body size
maybe just all of it in general
good luck :D

[Aydan]

It looks pretty darn good!

I hope the final product will look as good with alpha blending etc ;)

I like the tiles. Are they custom made by you? They are obviously edits ot LTTP ones but they are quite nice.

For me though a true zelda 2d mmo would have to use the LTTP graphics but either way if this game actully goes anywhere without a lawsuit then il try it ;)

Good luck with that! Nintendo are feisty about fan games!

@AydanWatkins:

As I've mentioned at least 3 times so far on this topic, yes they are custom. Completely, from scratch. They are not edits. They are however in the style of LTTP.

@AydanWatkins:

Well considering we won't be using anything of theirs except a trademark, I'd say we have pretty good chances. If we do get any cease or desist letters, we'll just make a few name changes here and there.

[Aydan]

Aha sorry I cant see much with this halloween theme ;) and its late so im lazy reading hehe!

Yeah you could probably get away with it aslong as you rename a few things.

Graal used to be Zelda Online but they just change the name and a few small things around.

Nintendo are really REALLY feisty over their games. But still I hope you get it out I really fancy trying it!

[japez]

Oh yeah, btw.

If you steal anything from these mockups…

We "will" kill you.

[Sean23]

if the game gets popular wont this be considered copyright infringement? i think it looks lovely kreator, just curious on how this is going to pass shigeru miyamoto unless you have rights and permissions?

[codemeister1990]

that's the thing..
it's not and they don't XD

[Sean23]

They almost look like they stole all ideas from minish cap buildings and just added more anti-alias and detail on the roofing, and as far as the bushes and rocks and pavement goes, there scarcely close to the actual game. theres a thing called a fan game, its something offline, but when you expand something that hasnt already been made online from the original makers then thats copyright infringement, the name of that city is also a name in zelda.

[Dark Crusade]

Well, all we can get in trouble for is their trademarked names. And If I'm correct, the only name we are using is 'legend of zelda', I'm pretty sure Hyrule etc isn't. So we could just do a simple name change to say, World of Hyrule.

And if we run on donations only, (hence being non-commercial), and do retain the Legend of Zelda name, they won't sue us, only send us a cease and desist letter at the most.

As I said before, we are going for LTTP style. If the tiles look like any, it should be like LTTP. (or so we hope, as its the style we are going for). But I will say this one final time, all graphics are 100% custom BY US from scratch.
