Well I've actually thought of that, but become adept at bending ZC and Zscript how you want and programming a game from scratch are two completely different things. I just simply don't know enough about programming to conceivably finish this as such a thing. Granted, having the ability to use and recycle objects rather than ffcs would be much less constraining, but look at all the awesome projects people have started on the web only to see an 'abandoned' or 'cancelled' tag next to it. Tons of them. I couldn't really hope to learn a new language and make a game out of it by myself with my spare time like I could with zc.
I've also decided against that, and am just making Link translucent. That way I can get the ship to 'roll' and whatnot.
You know, I could ask you the same thing. You're putting together an entire side-scroller and shmuper with a zelda clone, yes?
