Zelda II Engine - DEMO Showcase + Game Idea, WIP

[tehodorrusebelt]

I've been working on this for like a week. I have just begun to work on a new version and to really plan out my working agenda. I offer the last working version (Attempt 4) at the Zelda II Engine.

The coding is entirely mine and all that shoot :^)
The sprites are from the original game, but recolored to look prettier!
The music is mine but it's not great! *<=*D
Has some rough sound effects
Has rough enemies
Everything belongs to Nintendo so I do not claim anything other than the code and music =*)

I am posting it now because I need some feedback on the feel of it before I start working on the new version.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE DEMO:
https://mega.nz/#!ccZliLIY!cMcmThSCb0yExalZ_JK0qHH53Dc8OPs4Bcc6Sg888mU
CONTROLS:
R - restart
Arrow keys - movement, down for crouching
X - jump, hold up or down for special attacks
Z - attack, crouching and standing variations
The red blocks are enemies!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a side note, I plan to work on a Fan Game, here is the rough idea!

The Maiden's Palace
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
Link visits the Palace of the five Maidens, which is sectioned and has different entrances around the land. He traverses the different areas of this palace to retrieve the sacred objects, bring them to the Palace's center and ultimately open the way to the *something* which holds key to entering Demon's Tower where he must defeat the dark mage who has brought chaos.

Names in order:
-Flore
-Pomone
-Diane
-Hebe
-Ceres
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hopefully I can get some feedback! =*)

Sounds interesting.

I made some adjustments to the story!

Link visit the different sections of the Five Maidens Palace, through its different entrances around the land. For each section he must retrieve the respective Maiden's soul (some sort of orb/crystal/whatever) , bring them to the Palace's center and ultimately open the way to *something* which holds key to entering Demon's Tower where he must defeat a dark mage who has brought chaos.
He must slay each of the five maidens in order to obtain their soul, the five maidens are giant semi-goddesses and each use a different object as a weapon.

Here's a cute mock-shot of what a boss fight would look like!

That reminds me of the giant alien chick from Dude Where's My Car?

I've seen that movie but i don't really remember that. Interesting, maybe I will turn my game into a Dude Where's My Car? Adventure :^ )

I have an update on my progress!
I started from scratch and created a whole new engine that is much more like Zelda II

New things added:
-Elevators
-Enemies
-Attacks are disabled but enemies can hurt you, be careful :^D

Engine Attempt 7:

Coming up next:
-More complex enemies
-Pause menu
-Lives/Health system
-Possibly more types of solid blocks (e.g. slopes, ice).


I appreciate anybody who's willing to give it a try and give me some feedback/ideas.
