Complete ripoff, that's pretty obvious.
The game is modelled after the original Zelda mostly, in terms of it's complexity, and erm, graphics. It's therefore a 2D game, and it is also my first game in DarkBasic.

This is just a little demo to show off what I have so far. You can control Sakita around a small island in the game, which is all I have 'drawn' so far. You can pick up a sword, a bow and fight various slimes around the island. Not much, but it is a very early demo
The game should work with a control pad.
A button or on the keyboard is your secondary weapon
C button or SPACE on the keyboard calls inventory

The jazzed up version of the zelda world tune was provided by a friend. The tune in the caves was downloaded from vgmusic.com

The majority of the game has been planned out, as far as where levels are, what items will be got, i've actually already programmed in all the secondary weapons, which was probably the most tedious bit so far (damn hookshot!) It will have 5 'complete' levels and 2 or three smaller dungeons. But that's much later, just enjoy the demo for now

Uh, seems to be a little odd bit in my last post...
A button or , on the keyboard is your sword/talk/open
B button or . on the keyboard is your secondary weapon
C button or SPACE is your inventory screen.

interesting... very very very small on my desktop (i might need glasses if i played to long )

you mind turning the music down in it?
i kinda always did get a little piss'd with how darkbasic's standard volumes is set to "louder than HELL!"

hope to see more don't set the collision to sprites though, do an overhead array for it with each square being collide or not - will work so much better

Heh yeah, should be easy enough I assume to add a music control in the game...

Being a n00b and all, i'm not too sure what you mean about the overhead array bit.
I'm not actually using sprites for collisions, the reason being I made a similar game in Qbasic, and figured i'd keep it as close to that as poss. so I know what i'm doing
I'm using a system more like:



Probably not the most efficent way, but I understand it at least

i dunno if its my comp, but does it run really fast for everyone, so fast that you cant really control the character, its a shame cos it looks great.

Very nice, I'm also trying to make a Zelda game in DarkBasic... I've already made most of the engine in GameMaker, but would like to convert it... would you be able to send me a tutorial?
