Legend of Zelda ORPG - Feature Discussion

[Dark Crusade]

Myself and Japez are working on a Legend of Zelda ORPG, and Robin (EPIC PROGRAMMER) has offered to design an engine for us. We want to make sure we don't forget any important features, so we would like to hear what you think is necessary in our game. Please provide all suggestions and recommendations.

For example- cuttable grass. Be as specific as you can as well. Such as recommending how grass will respawn, and so forth.

Thanks guys.

You can catch fairies in a jar. I don't know a lot about Zelda but when i played you could do that and it replenishes you HP or life if you die. That would be pretty cool.

Edit: Have alost every item on Zelda like the bow with fire arrows and ice. That big hammer and that green leaf.. etc.. but im gessing that would be queit hard.

I haven't seen any LoZ game that actually lagged, so make it less laggable

Well, it sure would be nifty to have bombs you can toss at enemies, and if you could sail the seas. It's be tough, but, it'd be awesome.

Interactive tiles.
For example, you take an exploding arrow and you can shoot it at boulders to clear passage ways.

Don't spam, xD its obvious that he double posted due to forum lag. It happens to me often.

Thanks for the suggestions guys

It's a glitch, i got a database error when i posted that.

You think i would post the same thing twice?, thats just idiotic.

the boomerang, hitting items with it and bringing them to your feet is a classic in all zelda games, and maybe special boomerangs or hookshots can even bring monsters to you, except for boss monsters if you have any.

[japez]

Yeah, Good Thinking.

Sounds hard too do. But with Robin helping, i'm sure we can do it. :P

Hi,
I´m a Zelda Fan, and if i think about a nice Zelda game, i want to have a good storyboard, nice quests and a very big count of Maps. I like Zelda-Games, wich r like a real Zeldagame (Mastersword,Weapons,Grafik, Link etc) if u know what i mean!  :P

It may be a good idea to add some personal things to zelda to make your game "special" when compared to the many previose ones. When making a game based off a popular one it's a good idea to add a little personal flare whithout going to over the top as to change the original concept.

[Dark Crusade]

Well I've planned an insane list which is over 4000 words long. No more suggestions needed, you name it we probably got it. xD

[Robin]

I'll be programming the engine in October/November time, during my time out of College. It's up to Kreator + Japez on when they want to have it out.

[janpk]

We're releasing a closed alpha first, It should be ready by Christmas.

We'll make a topic for closed alpha registration soon.

We haven't started the GUI, but it will be epic.
