When low on health, you'll now enter Peril Mode, a new mechanic which allows comebacks against very strong foes. Will have further potential with the Rings system💍 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

The feedback seems to agree to keep minutes in, so I decided to go with this. It means I won't be keeping the option to change into the 12-hour format. Thank you for understanding.

I'm currently in the process redesigning the clock for the HUD, would you like the minutes shown even though they won't matter gameplay-wise? Screens for reference.

Added more rupee variants, based on how many you'll drop upon death.

Curse be to imprudent adventurers who perish alongside half their riches... For death is a cruel toll often paid in cold... 🪦 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

Finally starting this game

The Bomb + Arrows combo is back! There are a few ways to activate it: -Press both item buttons at the same time -Lift a bomb, then press the bow button -While aiming the bow, press the bomb button #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #pixelart

On a small hiatus, but I remade my controls sheet for better clarity :)

Today's post is on the smaller side, but you can now choose between a 24-hour or 12-hour format for the in-game clock 🕓 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

Brief overview of one of my favorite Linktober drawings! #Linktober #artposting #process

You like options? How about having the HUD below the screen, like Link's Awakening? #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #pixelart #retrogame

One of my design goals is to make Link more agile, so now you can jump while carrying items! Plus, thrown objects from the air will go a little farther than usual! #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame

Working slowly on mounts, which won't be done for a while... But here's a peek nonetheless 🐻 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame

Was kinda difficult to choose for some of 'em.

Now you'll be granted 2 abilities per transformation. For the 1st Gen Ring, you'll get to use the Wooden Sword & the Silver Arrows (provided you have rupees!) As a bonus, a Shield & the Stepladder will be equipped automatically. #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #pixelart

New setting to show amount given by item drops: -"Specific" (default) applies to bombs, arrows & seeds. -"All" applies to every item drop (including rupees). -"None" deactivates this feature. #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

There's a number of settings to choose from that will allow a more classic Oracles feel, such as standard 4:3 ratio, two inputs only, no item quick change, white border, and even no minimap! #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame

No more losing your ears: Take a listen at the new Magnetic Gloves sound effect! + a comparison with Oracle of Seasons at the end. #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

Now 700+ of you poor souls following this crazy ass project of mine, so let's do a lil' vibe check: How do you feel about the state of the fangame so far? And what's one thing you're expecting out of it? ✨ I'm no wish-genie, but I'll try my best in leveraging interest.

Who said the Shovel had to be a boring item? Here's 2 new combos, one with Roc's Feather and the other with the Pegasus Boots! #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

You can also drop seeds from the air using the Seed Satchel! #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame

Hi

I've added a new type of Mystical Seed: The Deku Seeds! These mix the Deku Nuts & Seeds from Ocarina of Time into a single item, having different effects whether you drop or shoot 'em! #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

We're starting with one cut ability: Blizzard! Mixing elegance and cold winds, the inspiration came from Yuki-onna, the "snow woman" yōkai. The visual design was forwarded by @thebanbanbeast.bsky.social and I, while our main artwork was done by @souprspookr2020.bsky.social! #Kirby #WackyEpisode

October 10th is Kirby: Wacky Episode's 2nd anniversary! 🎉For the first time, I'll be releasing never seen design documents and information all throughout the day. Plus, I'm hosting a Q&A under this very post! Keep your eyes open! #kirby #fangame

Some new dialogue add-ons: New action icons, for "Skipping Text" (A) and "Next text Box" (B). Also an option to tweak text box opacity. Here's to even more verbal abuse! #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

Choose between "new" and "old" control schemes for the Mermaid Suit! Accelerate by either pressing the action button or the d-pad/joystick. Whichever you choose, you can now move slowly while holding a direction, so no need to mash🧜‍♀️ #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #pixelart

This new character is giving off some heavy Oracles Impa design vibes and I'm all for it haha!

You can lock your direction, making it easier to aim in certain circumstances. While using certain items like the Seed Shooter, it also allows you to move while aiming!🎯 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

Thankful for the feedback on the snow effect. Last time I'm posting about it (promise). Here's how it's going to look, in 3 different versions.

Same scene, but with wintertime & falling snow vibes ❄️ #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

Working on weather effects, so I decided to recreate one of the most iconic Zelda scene: Link's House on that fateful night, from A Link to the Past! GBC-Style ⛈️ #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

Sorry, did you want to go faster?

Like I promised, here's some more minecart stuff. A lot had to be taken into consideration while making them, so I hope they feel authentic to the original games!🎢 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

Don't expect any of my games to feature an easy mode. By design, I hope to be able to indirectly coach you to improve naturally as a player. And in case I fail to meet that criteria for you, please don't hesitate to drop it and go look elsewhere for a game you might enjoy more.

Hey, artists! Quote with your fanart! #pixelart Zelda edition

Since my Zelda stuff likely isn't coming out for a very long while, might as well try to promote the old dog again so y'all have something to try (or revisit) in the meantime. Some of the Sword & Icy Sword combos you can pull off, for flexing purposes.

It's been almost 10 hours and I'm still not over this announcement. DQ7 is a top 3 favorite Dragon Quest title in my eyes and I played both previous versions. They could've chosen the more popular 8, 9 or any game in the Zenithian trilogy, yet still went with this one. Awesome.

I'll talk more about minecarts at a later date, but just know I'm quite proud of the effort that went into them.

My little test dungeon is coming along! #zelda #fangame #gamedev #retrogame #pixelart

2 years of development for my Zelda fangame! :) Thank you all for the support, here's a new compilation video! [Platform: PC - Release date: TBD] #zelda #fangame #gamedev #retrogame #pixelart

New Ring, yet again: The Quickstep Ring! Turns rolling into evasive, rapid maneuvers. A few i-frames are given as well, helpful! #zelda #fangame #gamedev #retrogame

Here's how the different times of day look with the Desaturated Filter on. #zelda #fangame #gamedev #retrogame

I hate shaders... :( Woes aside, there's gonna be at least 3 visual filters: Regular, Desaturated & Grayscale. Honestly might end up as bauble, but my mind was dead set on giving these as options. #zelda #fangame #gamedev #retrogame

New item: The Swordmaster Ring! Adds advanced functionality to your sword slashes, akin to what was seen in Four Swords Adventures. 4th slash in a row becomes a spin attack. Would love to allow it to disarm enemies as well, but we'll see! #zelda #fangame #gamedev #retrogame

Giving myself a kick in the ass and working on some grotto thingies. All WIP footage. #zelda #fangame #gamedev #retrogame

Been very deflated & unmotivated from life, so I'm seeking inspiration. If y'all know about or are making some great fangames, I wanna check 'em out, if possible!

Changed the Spin Ring to the Double Spin Ring. Its effect is still 2x spin attacks, but the way they chain is now different. It allows more practical usage by adding movement. (Enemy HP is modified for showcase purposes) #zelda #fangame #gamedev #pixelart
