The Catacombs

[hyrule center]

please no bad replys but i decided to make it the legend of zelda the catacombs

because i thought i had a good zelda making skill

 

[DarkMage31]

So is this still a "Castlevania" type of game? I like Zelda better anyway. The graphics are lookin' great too! Good luck with this one!

Its great that you want to make your own titles but people do go in for first impressins alot, so try doing them in a better graphics program, like PSP or Fireworks. And if you don't have them I am sure people here would be willing to work on them for you.

Are you planing to have a spell system like in the GBA games or stick for the traditional cross, holywater etc... set?

 

[hyrule center]

i am planning on sticking with the holy water exc but remember

i am making it the legend of zelda the catacombs

here is a shot from the catacombs

It's looking good but I would like to see more screens :) ....

 

[DarkMage31]

So it's sorta a mix between Castlevania and Zelda?

 

[hyrule center]

uhuhhhh it is kinda going through a evolution there will be more screens alot more
heres the dark cave (not the one from pokemon)

 

[DarkMage31]

Oo, cool! What are the arrows for?

 

[hyrule center]

the aroows are fo i made parts of the cave unpassable so there is a big path

i wanted to show how to get through

 

[DarkMage31]

I think you should get rid of the arrows and make it more challenging by having the player have to figure it out.

 

[Arcdemon]

No

Yah I like that idea too take away the arrows but you don't have to if you don't want to

ok i have got a dark cave before and after

1st is before 2nd is after
and my site for the game is in my sig
heres the stats

instead of making it entirely black, you should give the player a
couple of clues. Some 1 pixel lines or something to guide the way.
Of course, these would have to be transparent.

 

[hyrule center]

actually i da have some arrowsleft and my own little secrets

 

[DarkMage31]

Here's another idea:
Use a difficulty selector at the beginning. If you set it on hard mode there are no arrows, and if you set it on Normal there are some arrows, and if you set it on Easy there are lots!

 

[hyrule center]

well so you mean i have to do the game 3 times

 

[DarkMage31]

No, just turn on a switch for difficulties. Then in your events you can check the little switch thingy on the left and have a different page for each difficulty.

 

[hyrule center]

i have never understood the switcheshow do you do it

 

[DarkMage31]

Switches are things that go on and off. Look at your light when it's off. Now flick the switch. What happened to the light? Something changed! Flick it off. It went back to the way it was! WOW! Okay, that's the concept. If you have a treasure chest, you go up to it and it says "You found 1000 GP!" Then you go up to it again and it gives you another 1000 GP. Something wrong with this picture? We need to use a switch! After the first message, use a "Switch Operation" to flip on a switch. Now hit "new page" On the left are little check boxes. Check the "Switch" one and chose the switch you just flicked on. Now write a message like, "It's empty! NOOOOO!!!!111oneoneone." What happens is you get your $1000 and it turns to page two by flicking on the switch. The next time you approach it it will stop giving you money. As long as that switch is "ON," the chest will never revert to its pervious state. Cool, huh?

So all you need to do is make an event for each arrow. Make three pages and put a check in each one where it says "Switch." Make three switches for the three difficulties, and give the hard version no graphic and the others the arrow graphic. So when "Hard" is flipped on, there will be no graphic. If you flip on "Normal," there will be an arrow! So all you need to do is go back to the start of your game and make an auto-start event that gives you a choice for difficulty. Depending on which one is selected, turn a switch on!

i still do not get it how do you make a difficulty setting event
and if it is in the beginning of the game how do you effect the arrows
