fuck the rules, this is awesome. It's just I'm not going to be the first person to download some random executable from some dude's blog and let it take over my comptuer. If someone can verify that this isn't a virus/trojan thing, I'll play with it.

Doing so right now.

And unless this is a trojan, leave this guy the fuck alone about the 'advertising'. This isn't some faceless jackass trying to get hits on some faceless corperation's website, this is someone who spent a lot of time and effort working on something that he thought we would be interested in. He put some effort into his work and into his post detailing it, so cut him some fucking slack.

EDIT: It's legit. And very nice too.

I downloaded it a bit ago. This is pretty cool... Nice work indeed.

(And I didn't find any trojans.)

Aren't those who register solely to advertise something frowned upon? *Shrugs* Oh well, if there's no problem with this thread, then I don't have a problem with it either. I apologize.

I think its partially to do with whats being advertised.

Like, if someone registers to advertise some sort of scheme where you gotta get people to click it,and recruit them as a gang member in some advertising website, then no.

However, if its something interesting that you put a lot of time into,such as a fangame or a comic, then maybe it's acceptable. I don't speak for the staff or anything, but many people have shown off fan games here in the past.

Well, he made this zelda game and knew that this is a zelda forum, figured we'd like it. I don't see the glaring violation of ethics. If I recorded a heavy metal song that blew people away I might post at the Pantera forums or something. No harm done.

this is freaking awesome. I love the way the overworld is displayed, and the day/night effects. it's too bad that the bushes/grass can't be cut, but it is still in development

I can't wait to see how far this goes

IMO it is a matter of how the advertising is accomplished. We have several examples of "Hey I just started a zelda forum and we have only 3 members I need lots more come join I will make u a moderator" that falls on the 'bad advertising' side. On the other hand, I'd hardly call an on-topic page-long post with screenshots and a list of features for an open-source game the type of advertising we'd like to discourage.

I'll give the thing (the program) a look if I can ever motivate myself to finish one of my assignments :/ I've always liked Zelda 3 😊

Hey! Topic Creator! You should become a ZC developer! With your Elite skills, we could take ZC to a whole new level!

BTW, Excellent stuff you got there!

I'll downloading it right now so I can try it when I get home.
This looks like a promising project.
