Facet Of Worlds....

[ShadowTiger]

Edit: Thanks to Demimore and Dark Bob, I can now post screenshots!


Above: A Scene from the dark forest.

Above: The Evil Lair entrance. (The first dungeon, not actually L1.)

Above: The River Man's bridge. And yes, it's got Z2 music.

Above: Also River Man's Bridge, but from the Over World.

Above: The humble town of Terin in K'Aria. Yes, you can go on that balcony.

So I hope you like the shots, and now that I can host files from Demimore's Angelfire place, (To which I am forever indebted, so thank Demimore.) I can show pics of whatever I want. Just be sure to give credit to Demimore and say a quick prayer for his sake. He would have wanted it that way. (He's banned, not dead. )

And now, the rest of the post:
Behold, my friends, I have begun work on a new quest. I have officially (well, nearly. ) abandoned TP under the control of NeoPuff. You may speak to him for the demo, or look in my sig. It's still there.

I have begun work on a quest called Facet of Worlds. (Nicknamed FoW for short. ) It will have a very large span, being somewhat similar to DoY. (Yes, I will openly admit that the general scope of DoY wowed me, so now I'm trying something similar.) So far, I've done quite a bit, and I begun the project during Christmas vacation, and that isn't all that much time actually.

The quest will feature:

*10 or so worlds, each unique. 2 or them will mirror each other.
*Cycled Combos used pretty well.
*Animated Door Opening sequences. I've got the tiles if you want.
*Many references to other games, specifically the Zelda Series.
*Completely Original Items. (I.e. I drew them all myself.)
*I fixed up some of the tiles, and made a lot of new ones.
*ZC Humor!
*A vast, fairly linear overworld with many interesting themes.
*A massive rock. (You'll see. )
*A Very intimidating castle inside the big rock. (Again, you'll See.)
*A fairly promising graphics pack that you can use to take tiles from.


Progress so far: I've got about 1/3 of my OW done. (Er, overworld.) I just put in a sequence in which you try to cross a bridge, and a Z2 style "you need a bridge pass" sequence comes up. It really seems like something out of Z2! You'll see it soon if the demo is under 1.39 MB.

Now what I need from people are ideas for other worlds. I've got a desert world, a void, (That'll be cool.) A Ghost land, (I need destroyed buildings, if you can spare any.) A Volcanic Realm, and a world similar to the regular OW. That one will even sound similar. But It's not quite the mirrored one.

So that would be about 5 different worlds. I need ideas for 3 more, but please, no jungle themes. I can't work well with trees and foliage. (Don't ask.) And I've drawn in many tiles already to suit the themes.

Wish me luck.

Just a thought
I have
Iceland
Spaceland
Waterland

[ShadowTiger]

Hmm... Thank you. "Spaceland" will be similar to the void. I want the void, well, to be a real void. I'm not sure what I'm going to be putting in there, actually. (Well, there you go, considering it's just a void! heh heh.)

So I still have 5, but thanks for the suggestions.

Actually, I have another request. Other than making several threads in DevExch, I will post them here. All who provide will get major positions in the credits. (Yep, that's right folks, you get your name typed out by me on a notepad document! )

[Jigglysaint]

ZC humor, eh? That idea has already been suggested before :confuzzled:

[ShadowTiger]

Yeah, it was probably by me.

Y'see, it's humor like when you pick up a Special item from a guy, and he disappears, and you can add the lines "And now I'll disappear for no reason." And then he does. ) It's humor like that. But in that specific occasion, (When you get the sword.) I decided to drop it. Perhaps I could find a special, unique brand of ZC humor. The Avatar that I was trying to upload that I constructed in ZQuest was a kind of ZC humor.

[Zaggarum]

THis is going to be cool I wouldn't mind being a tester? how 'bout it?

[ShadowTiger]

Actually, I already have you listed in the credits as a tester. So I can't put you on the team, because you're already on the team.

How's that for ZC humor? Bad? Yeah, I know. Well I'm working on it.

And you can see pics in my Geocities account. I've created a new folder called "Screenshots!" for everyone to see. Go check it out and tell me what you think.

And a note to all testers, I will have to release a demo before you can begin testing. As soon as can burn the file to a CD and ship it to school, (It's about 1.75 Mb so far. Shocking, right? I thought so. And I just started. ) then you will be able to test it. I'll PM you all when that time comes. Until then, enjoy the screenshots of River Man. That was more fun than you'de think.

I think, if it could be done, that something like a backwards world would be neat and funny. The folks Link meets could talk backwards and maybe even animate backwards too(that would look very goofy and funny). And puzzle could be solved backwards too. Like the block push one, instead of pushing a block onto a button, push the block off of the button(if that can work). What do you think? Could this work? Also, how about a townworld? Everything, even the dungeons could bee a town. Or an underground world, where everything would be underground? Like one big neverending cave.

[ShadowTiger]

OK. That's it. I'm putting you in my credits.

The ideas are great. I'll think about making backwordsland (That's one word.) World 5. Thanks for the idea. Just tell me a good custom boss for it. 'Cause I'm stumped.

Edit: Oh yeah. The town world is World 2. There aren't any enemies in it at all, as far as I know. The dungeon will be a gold mine in the middle. The boss will be a shadow creature that you have to strike like Ganon when he's invisible. But you can, of course, block his fireballs. It will be a nice, quaint world. I think everyone will enjoy it.

You'll love my 4th world. Especially those of you with blackened hearts. :sb: HA HA HA HA HA! *snort* Heh heh. J/K. Really, it'll be very spooky and..... dead.

I've already added my comments someplace else, but could you possibly list the testers? I'd... like to be one if you don't mind.
