Probably you already checked my signature, most probably you don't, but I really hope and think, that a community based around rom hacking and editors like this site is a proper place to advertise a project like glZelda(2) and I hope to get enough responses to show the project leader that a project like this is really appreciated.
But let me start from the beginning: Most of you probably already know the famous Zelda Classic, if not, you should really check it out, because it's a duty for every Retro, SNES and Zelda Fan to play it at least once. It's an engine recreation, to play and recreate the complete feeling and gameplay of the first The Legend of Zelda NES game without an emulator on your PC and enhance it with new quests, functions or items. Today it's an awesome editor with plenty of possibilities. You can create a completely new game and work with the original NES Sprites, but it also supports ALttP and the BS-X (and more!) sprites. But deep inside its core is still kinda old school, without enhanced gfx capabilities and features. More than 5 years ago Benjamin Arnaud created glZelda to show an engine with editor which was build with up-to-date technique and other fine features and it really was and still is stunning. 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNiQuC5egJk Download the video her (with additional editor part, had to remove it out because of the silly 10 minutes Youtube time limit) And I really mean stunning, because if you think about, that all this had been done 4 years ago, than it's just too nice ending up as a mere tech-demo. As time goes by, the author already thought about a revive of the project and posted the following comment at his blog: Posted by "Benjamin Arnaud" Online features!! Yeah, but till the end of 2009 it was quietly and the project was dead before it really started. But 11/30/2009 the author came back and created a thread in the Zelda Classics board: Posted by Benjamin Arnaud Sadly, the project got nearly ignored at the Zelda classics board and only a few answered. So I decided to write him an email, here's the conversation log for you: Posted by "MasterPhW" Posted by "Benjamin Arnaud" Now you can see, there's still legitimate interest by the creator of glZelda, but he really want to see, that there is a community which is interested and would show support for him and his tool. So after I got the mail I started posting the video to Youtube and information/advertisement posts at 8 different websites, but after that I had some real life issues, so I than disappeared from glZelda advertisment. But I already made an impact! He showed reaction at his new site (or should I say 3 reactions? You could also count Support & Suggestion and the Contribution thread at his board). Before my disappearance I was preparing a big promotion campaign with two additional videos in 2 scenarios never seen before (with appropriate enemies as well) in glZelda (Dark World is one, but the 2nd stays a secret till release) created with the old glZelda engine to show its potential, but because of these serious real life issues I hadn't time to finish it yet and that's a real shame! Scenario 1 has finished music, font, nearly all sprites done, sketches, ideas and an alpha but is missing still a lot mapping and I didn't even started with scenario 2, but already created sketches and support files. If anybody knows a good spriter and/or mapper it would help me a lot to just get the advertisement train finally rolling! But even without them, I decided to restart the effort and thought this site needs a glZelda2 topic aswell! If you are interested in this project and would like to see a Zelda 3 Classic engine with modern gfx support, write an email to [email]bunjeee@gmail.com[/email], reply here or at his site and tell your friends about this project! He/we will still need you as a community! Talk about it on Facebook, Youtube or Twitter and help me to advertise this great project! But most important: show support and help making glZelda a reality! Thanks for reading MasterPhW ____________________ |
