C-7, wow, that's an wonderful game
(and a fun concept)
! The gameplay is reminiscent of the best kind that made the genre so popular.
My game (if I do succeed in nailing one together) will definitely be orders of magnitude less complex, so thanks, I'm now pretty convinced I can go forward with my idea.
<defend class="tLoZ">However, I think your comparison is not really fair: OoT and LttP were released resp. half-decades and decades ago; if Nintendo were to publish them now, they would definitely appear less dated & less constrained in terms of quality and content ...
And I'm sure you'll agree they [generally] beat contemporary games
(and even many popular games today)
in their intro screen, er, sleep. </defend>
shinkan, thanks for your post. So you have laid out the complete game world in a single layout? Or in fact different layouts for different areas, as this bit seems to imply?
all maps I have uses only 1 layout and two tilemap images.
I'm leaning towards the latter method, as I feel that would be... cleaner, for lack of a better word.
