A Link to the Dream - Link's Awakening Remake

[Issac]

Looks really cool in my opinion! Would love to try it out one day

Sorry but I'll stand by what i said, ALTTP is now being used for more things like mario has games released by Nintendo. Yes I know blah, blah nostalgia and all that but come on use something a bit more flashy, Only thing I will say is the redheaded zelda is nice but I think an edit of minish cap Malon's sprite would of worked better.

Ok then fork the game code (it's open source), just replace the Link PNG sprite file with Malon's one and boom! Done. Everyone's happy.

I could make the sprite sheet for you but I have a few life issues i need to deal with I mean I would make the sheet for you but it all depends on time, However if i did make sprite sheets for this I would like to be credited.

One thing I like about this one is FMV. can't wait to see real Japanese art style of Link in FMV!

Wow, first time I've seen this, would definitely like, although a release (final version especially) seems unlikely (but fingers crossed for you!!). And the vote is a resounding yes from me: LTTP visual style is timeless - anyone mentioning Minish Cap's visuals - great game, I finished it again a few weeks back .....but, ney. 'Meh' graphics spring to mind.

- Did you not read his last reply?! Clearly not... and the 'I want crediting' edit is fukkin hilarious, definitely made me laugh!

Fork the game and change the sprite sheet in your own version.

Just add your name as an author in the project file (manually or with Solarus Quest Editor).

im not a coder only a spriter hence why i said i'd make the sheet

I don't think I've ever seen someone this salty about a graphics style. Damn near half the posts are people saying ti looks good and they are looking forward to it, and the rest of the posts are you shitting on it. How about, the next time you have a thought just let it go.

 

[WiikeyHacker]

I'm not salty about it I just feel ALTTP Is being used to much and needs to have something else used instead. So in retrospect i'm just saying it's not bad to try something new.

I prefer the original GB Link's Awakening / Oracles graphic

 

[WiikeyHacker]

The oracle games were amazing titles no denying that.

I think it's pretty clear that WiikeyHacker hates the Super Nintendo. I have no nostalgic attachment to the system whatsoever, and yet, Chrono Trigger is my favorite RPG, MegaMan X1 is my favorite traditional 2D platformer, and I'm very excited for this project, more so than the official remake.

 

[WiikeyHacker]

I actually do like the snes just not a fan of ALTTP as everywhere I go people are praising the top down perspective and re-using it over and over again, As a matter of fact my most loved games are Bahamut Lagoon, Seiken Densetsu 3 (or Secret Of Mana 2 for you "westerners") and Fire Emblem Tharcia 776. It's just I find ALTTP too over hyped and over praised when there are much better games of the franchise out there Twilight Princess and the oracle games are to name a few even the bs third journey game is a better game. I actually haven't ever played Chrono Trigger but i heard it's got designs similar to Dragonball Z so my Boyfriend would like it

It wasn't until this post that I actually noticed you're from Japan. To this day, none of those games have been officially released here in the USA.

I was thinking of making a "triforce of the gods" joke.

 

[WiikeyHacker]

That and I'm not overly fond of America, Britain is alright with the exception of weeaboos those people piss me off beyond words can explain.

 

[WiikeyHacker]

That's all there is to it really.

No need to code anything because we developped a game engine and its game editor (i.e. graphical user interface) to allow people like you to create games more easily.

Very neat project. When it first came out, I was astounded by the graphics. But now, especially compared to some other games, I really dislike the graphical style of ALttP, and really don't think it had aged well. Maybe using Minish Cap would be better.

 

[oclero]

Maybe using Minish Cap would be better.

I personnally love Minish Cap art style, but there is not a better/worse one: it's a matter of taste. Maybe for you MC is better, but we're not creating the game for you; we're creating it for us.

I don't want to repeat myself again and again but... We decided to use ALTTP art style because of nostalgia, and because of the artistic decision to recreate what the game could have been on SNES. We even plan to print game manual, boxes and cartridge stickers to recreate the exact feeling of what we experienced as children.

If you really dislike the graphics (it's your right), you have 2 options:

1. Don't play the game, neither watch videos of it (easy ).
2. Change the graphics by creating the tilesets and sprites from Minish Cap. You can do it because our game and game dev tools are free and open-source (a bit harder, but you'll learn a lot and make Minish Cap fans happy ).

We don't plan to remake the game with Minish Cap tiles and sprites because people in the team already spent months and months to create all the custom art (hundreds of tiles, sprites, sounds, musics...) needed for the game. So if you want to do it, go go go go !
