CartPC - Jeff loves Zelda

Moloch · August 23, 2012 10:25am

Jeff loves Zelda and has wanted to make a version for c64 for a long time. This is his latest tinkering ...

AWESOME work Jeff. I am glad to see someone using CartPc also smile

Guess you have a new graphician then... cool

Fuzz · August 23, 2012 11:41am

Awesome!

... and he is working on the roof

Moloch · August 23, 2012 3:52pm

and now some ground cover ...

Jeff · August 23, 2012 4:00pm

Thanks for the feedback guys. :-)
Sofar it's just a bit of fooling around and learning how to pixel.
But I really love working with Cartograph PC. Makes it easy to try out ideas, that I get from time to time. ;-)

Still, I haven't forgotten the CT music! ;-)

I'm glad to hear it, really like both versions of the editor here. Of course, CartPC is easier to use because of interface, etc.

That's pretty sick!

aNdy · August 24, 2012 7:42am

The only problem I see is that you are using up a hell of a lot of chars already. Other than that, for hires, it looks absolutely awesome! Great work!

From what Jeff said the other day, if he ever went forward with this it would probably be a screen game not a scroller. So he could swap out charsets between screens if need be

I figured as much, in which case this would be awesome!

DO IT Jeff!!!!!!

(after doing CT choons...)

Jeff · August 24, 2012 1:11pm

Yeah. but if it was a scrolling game, I see no problem in at some points to simply switch from one screen to another (when leaving one screen).

Anyway... those roofs I did, damn... they are not easy to make look good. So I made them more simply (use less different chars) but also I think the view of the roofs now fit
the rest of the buildings better. Or what do you think? (still learning ;-)

Moloch · August 24, 2012 1:26pm

For me, the perspective on the new roof is a bit off also. It is better than the previous, which was basically top down.

I did some research and it appears your current perspective is very close to what was in some of the Zelda games?

Jeff · August 24, 2012 1:30pm

Yeah, it's not quite there yet! Perhaps I just wanted to try to avoid the end parts of the roofs.... anyway, will keep trying, but thanks for the feedback. :-)

aNdy · August 24, 2012 1:36pm

Good progress.

I think maybe a mash-up between both roof gfx? The second is looking good, but lacks the side bits of the first...

Jeff · August 24, 2012 1:44pm

Andy: yes... I was just suggested to make the tiles on the front of the house of same height.... right now it looks a bit like if it's an open box.... as if the roof was lifted up from the building on the backside of the building. :-)

Jeff · August 25, 2012 4:45am

Managed to do one type of roof that I am pleased with now.
Added a few more things. The water will ofcourse be animated, when I get to that point. :-)

aNdy · August 25, 2012 6:05am

Nice!

Moloch · August 25, 2012 12:19pm

Yeah, that looks way better!

Jeff · September 1, 2012 1:22pm

Did a bit of work to see how I could get zelda-type dungeon stuff to work out...

Moloch · September 1, 2012 7:44pm

Thats looks really cool, far better than the similar layout game Malcontent released six months ago! Very nice

Fuzz · September 1, 2012 7:57pm

I'm pretty sure I'm ready to play it NOW smile

aNdy · September 2, 2012 3:49am

Nice! Get some colour cycling going on those floor tiles for true Minter psychedelic effect!

Warlock · May 15, 2013 6:26am

Just revisited the forum post today and I am still amazed how well these came Jeff have you worked on them anymore?

Moloch · May 15, 2013 10:20am

I say we steal these maps and charsets for another game! STEAL THEM! wink
