The Project Zelda Engine (aka Zelda Starter Kit)! *With Download Links & Pictures*, Thursday 22 September 2011 - The Update Patch #3 has been released! Options

[SilentResident]

Now that everyone in the PZE Team is gone for a break from PZE and enjoys relaxation those days of the Christmas and the New Year, I got the free time and the opportunity to give some attention to the poor or low quality icons and graphics of the engine, and I gave them new looks.

But I am not sure if the people will like them. Here they are!

Dungeon Compass


Dungeon Small Key


Stone Slab and Stone Slab Fragment


Dungeon Map


Don't worry if the icons are of different sizes - some of them are for display in the game's Text Message dialog Boxes.

Hope they are good. Enjoy!

And by the way, Happy New Year!

I'm not sure why, but I sorta liked the old stone slab fragment better... Maybe because of it's simplicity.
Although, I cannot say the same for the map. The new icon definitely fixed it up.
Great work and progress as usual... Even though I haven't tried the system yet. I just love seeing the fun little updates

[SilentResident]

The Project Zelda Engine Team is proud to announce the addition of one more form to the engine! The famous Bunny Link's Form!




The Bunny Link Form, which is triggered by force as soon as 2 Conditions are met:
Conditions for transforming into a Bunny Link:
1) Enter a Dark World-classified map.
2) Moon Pearl (Accessory Item) is not in Link's Inventory.

As soon as both conditions are met, Link will forcefully transform into the Bunny Link!
Bunny Link has very restricted abilities in his possession.

Bunny Link can:
-Move/Run around
-Talk to People or Open Treasure Chests
-Interact with events.
-Read and/or perform other intelligent actions
-Lift objects, based on the level/power of his Gloves.
-Wear different clothes (Green, Blue, Red Tunics)
-Use the Magic Mirror (Non-offensive Weapon)
-Use Bottles
-Climb Stairs - Jump down the cliffs.

Bunny Link can't:
-Use any weapons, including Primary (Sword and Shield) and Secondary weapons (Bow, Bombs, etc)
-Swim in Deep Water/Sea

So, if you had any weapons in the buttons that aren't the Magic Mirror or Bottles, before Link turns into Bunny Link, they will automatically become disabled and grayed out (except their Ammo Counters for obvious reasons).







Enjoy!


Update: Hehe, thanks kayden997 for your feedback All the icons, both new and old ones, are stored in the PZE's folder for everyone to pick up which ones he likes to use in his games!

This project has always interested me, and I tried it once. But it was incredibly laggy. (Around 2-3 frames/sec)

Has this been fixed, or was it just processing power on my side?

[Baffou]

Resource Dragon :
I think you playtested the UP3 version of PZE,
The UP4 version (the one the team is currently working)
is far less laggy, especially because it's mostly scripted and less evented.
You can dowload it to PZE Main site to get an idea of it.

Sounds good. Yea, it must have been because it was event heavy, that makes sense. I'll take another look at it when I have some time.

Trust me, it's very quick and playable now.

Morning or evening, dear people! The PZE team is happy to share some info of our progress, today!

The Gossip Stones are implemented to Project Zelda Engine!

Hit them with your sword and they will shake (see picture above) and tell you the current time! Or bomb them to rocket them to the sky! Or simply wear the Mask of Truth and let those mysterious Sheikah stones reveal information that they've heard, give helpful hints, or even reveal the locations of treasure chests, to you!



Upon talking to them with the Mask of Truth equipped, the hit's or tip's message will always start with the following phrase:
"The mystical stone responds to the mask and speaks to you. ...But its words are heard in secret..."

Upon hitting them with a sword, they will say "Boing-oing!" and tell you info about the game, such as the current time of day, etc.

Various information you may get from the Gossip Stones include:




-------------------------------------------------
The Sword Spin Attack is now complete!
In PZE, now, each Sword has its own spin attack graphic and animation.
The Spin Attack also has different radius and power, per sword, based on that blade's strength and size (shortblade, blade, longblade, etc)!

and the Kokiri Sword's Spin Attack animation in Project Zelda Engine:

Master Sword's Spin Attack in game:



-------------------------------------------------
The Earth Temple's Dungeon Map Layout now has been set!
Our team now makes progress at setting up the dungeon's layout, so it can feature as many weapons and items as possible, for the gamers to be able to test their weapons and their capabilities, by solving small puzzles!



The PZE's Earth Temple is using the Earth Medallion's symbol for the dungeon's map layout, and thus, respecting a tradition in the Zelda game series that started with Zelda 1's dungeons and continues to that day!
A basement and a second floor are planned too, although in this picture only the 1F is displayed for now.


Enjoy!

Will the gossip stones fly into the air after a bomb explosion like in OOT?

Exactly! And you can see the shadow of them on the ground until they vanish

Photoshop, saves so much time doesn't it?

Photoshop and Gimp are our best friends! As long as we know how to use them! ;D

@Rukiri, please don't quote whole posts for no reason. It's almost asinine when people have to scroll past a looooong post twice just because a person or two decided to quote them >:|

[Ratty524]

I'm excited for the next release!

Anyway, how easy would it be to replace the graphics of this starter kit? I kind of want to do a similar game with this engine that isn't Zelda.

[Resource Dragon]

Two words.

Spoilers.

That was one word, but two syllables.

I'm fairly certain RD was trolling and you are now the trollee. How does it feel.

[Alejo_89]

Will you implement the engine of movement pixel by pixel in 8 directions, (events and hero) like in the originals one (not square by square like in rpg maker)?

This.

But I was being serious, besides. You could really reduce screen scrolling by using spoilers when you update your thread.

Wait, what?
I think a joke just flew by my head. D:
