Re: AZCT: A Zelda Classic Thing - Basic Planning Thread
I'd like to make a dungeon.
I kinda want to see how working with Zelda Classic feels like.
if we're doing fangames too, can we make an asrb2t (a sonic robo blast 2 thing) after we're done with this one? it'd be the closest thing to an asmt64, ahaha

I'll do the same thing as Vulpine. I'll do a dungeon if there's not that many people on dungeon design, but will give my place to a more experienced ZC user and maybe just be a dungeon helper or something.
I also want to help with town design if that becomes a thing.

I'm also going to express tentative interest in designing a dungeon. If that doesn't work out, I can probably contribute some graphics or something.

I guess I'll sign up for a dungeon, then.
P.S. What are we going to do about the overworld? I was thinking a hub town and then a region for each dungeon.

Re: AZCT: A Zelda Classic Thing - Basic Planning Thread
I also would like to do a dungeon.
...I can't guarantee I'll still feel that way once I figure out what exactly that entails, but it sounds like a good idea in theory, so I might as well give it a shot.

Re: AZCT: A Zelda Classic Thing - Basic Planning Thread
Don't put my name down yet, but if we need another person for a dungeon after everyone's spoken, I can do that. Though really whatever type of creating we need I can do. Overworlds, dungeons, towns, etc.
That's just to fill in what we might need to complete the project, if we have enough people I can just help people and provide information and all that. I'm still actively working on my A2MT level so anyone following that project as well, don't worry.

Re: AZCT: A Zelda Classic Thing - Basic Planning Thread
I'd be quite interested in participating in this, though... well, I'm not sure how soon you're aiming to start it, but it wouldn't be likely that I would participate before the MAGL2 contest is over, at the least (hoping to also participate in that once I've dealt with some other stuff). I wouldn't mind doing part of the overworld or something though; unless there's suddenly a lot of people that start working on the overworld, in which case maybe I'd switch to dungeoning?
I dunno, I haven't even downloaded it yet so :I

Re: AZCT: A Zelda Classic Thing - Basic Planning Thread
I'm fine with just being a tester, I could do it Pholtos style (AKA with videos) if people are interested in that sort of thing.

Re: AZCT: A Zelda Classic Thing - Basic Planning Thread
I'd be up for testing as well. I wouldn't be too great at dungeon making (although I've tried making a small dungeon in the past... but that was at least a year ago and I forget how to use ZC).
Because Touhou OCs can in fact exist, sounds fake I know.
I can't change my username but I go by Vali/Claire now (aka call me Vali or Claire at your leisure ^^).
I never update this currently playing section anymore, it's probably an RPG or something.

Okay. I updated the post with a list of people who just want to help generally (as in, not dungeon making), or who are unsure about what they want to help with at this point in time.

Count me in for testing, though I need some explaining from the dungeon maker on what they wanted people to do in them. For example, "You should find a secret path one you collected this item" and so on on so fourth.

It's up to you but I think it's a bad idea, as optimally it should be relayed through the design rather than the designer.

Here's a guide made by a good friend of mine. It's for an older version but many things are still valid!

Re: AZCT: A Zelda Classic Thing - Basic Planning Thread
We could use the script below for shops if we want!
http://www.purezc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=52345
(Example shots in the thread) As well as an example quest file. Which are like the roms in SMW. They hold the tileset and most of your data. Note: There's a timed save feature in ZQuest that will auto save your game depending on the time set by you.
But yeah, FFC scripts are no problem for me, I can handle all of them. And there's many.
Edit: There's a Podoboo script as well.

Re: AZCT: A Zelda Classic Thing - Basic Planning Thread
It's just something in case I get really stuck and I have a "walkthough" to fall back on, but a clear dungeon design might avert me from looking at the notes. The problem however for me at least might be how many Items I might need to use and where on one dungeon, especially in the early ones, and not everyone makes levels easy, but that's the challenge of playing a game.Duker wrote:It's up to you but I think it's a bad idea, as optimally it should be relayed through the design rather than the designer.

On another topic: is there going to be a plot, or is there going to be a "plot" in this hack?

Re: AZCT: A Zelda Classic Thing - Basic Planning Thread
Final boss dude issued out a challenge - anybody who can collect all eight (or three or six or twelve or whatever) Golden Crystals and can beat him in a fight wins the hand of his daughter in marriage. Sheath, being the final boss dude's daughter, decides to win the challenge first so that she can remain a bachelorette.
Re: AZCT: A Zelda Classic Thing - Basic Planning Thread
Mmm, I think Duker has the right idea. As a tester, you shouldn't only be testing whether or not the intended path through a dungeon functions properly - the designers should already be sure of that themselves. What you should be testing, and where there is much more potential for error on the designer's part, is whether the paths that you decide to take through a dungeon could potentially cause problems.jayScribble wrote:It's just something in case I get really stuck and I have a "walkthough" to fall back on, but a clear dungeon design might avert me from looking at the notes.

Besides, if you do get stumped in a dungeon, that could just mean there's a problem with its design! If a tester gets to a point in the dungeon where they have absolutely no idea what to do, even after 20-30 minutes of wandering around without making any progress, then the designer probably needs to make the solution clearer. If the tester can just check a walkthrough and move on, though, that problem might never be reported, and that's bad.
Basically, walkthroughs should never be necessary to beat a game, and it's up to the game's creators to ensure that. If you find yourself in a situation where you feel you need one during testing, you should let the dungeon's designer know, because it probably means there's a problem in the game design.

Re: AZCT: A Zelda Classic Thing - Basic Planning Thread
And now the genius of having the designers and testers being separate people manifests itself.
The designer can test to make sure that the intended path works. The tester(s) will be testing to make sure that the intended path is obvious enough.
EDIT: Can we make an AZCT Subforum? I don't want to clutter up the cartridge with AZCT planning topics
EDIT2: I've made a tracking sheet; please correct me if I made a mistake. I'll put together a list of items in a little bit. The "available for" column is more a sanity check - don't expect to have the item available if you're not listed for it. The Noncritical Dungeon Items are just that - noncritical.
EDIT3: Here's the list of items I'm feeding into the randomizer
EDIT4: Whoa, nelly! Here's what I got back.
EDIT4 CONTINUED: TL;DR version of Edit 4:
EDIT5: Amusing that the Bombs are listed as Noncritical, but the Bomb Bag is one of the Criticals.

Re: AZCT: A Zelda Classic Thing - Basic Planning Thread
Wow. Nice work, raekuul! I think we should probably offer the Stomp Boots to go along with the Roc's Feather, but that doesn't have to be in a dungeon, I guess -- could be the main gimmick for the town places.
Once I'm done reading up on all of the items and what they do, I'll start thinking about stuff to claim.
(By the way, we should probably elect an official project manager at this point...)
