Thanks, and there are only 2 images in my sig, so why did u say that?

[Sendok]

blarg...there is a typo i ment one...i saw two so i hit 2...

[peasantlover]

wtf... they are two tiny ones... I bet they take up less space than a lot of peeps one image

edit: Brian needs to get banner ads and some revenue generating things so that him and Nathan dont have to be so ghetto in the sig restrictions

[DanielBarras]

Well, rules are rules, so I got rid of the second one.. sorry about that RyanK.

[Sendok]

Well, rules are rules, so I got rid of the second one.. sorry about that RyanK.
that is a-ok...

[Generic Wheaties]

That GBA cover.. did you draw that Link?

[[[tavis]]]

yo D want me to hit you up with a box art? PM me and lemme know

[alpha]

Wouldn't this be illegal?

[Viper]

Wouldn't this be illegal?
Only if he tries to make profit or use it in Nintendo hardware from it which he isn't.

Dont you feel like you've had the same convo in all 20 of these threads, Viper?

[Viper]

Dont you feel like you've had the same convo in all 20 of these threads, Viper?
I do feel like an old 45 record on the San Andreas Fault sometimes.

[DanielBarras]

That GBA cover.. did you draw that Link?
No Fuzzy, I got it from gamewallpapers.com

yo D want me to hit you up with a box art? PM me and lemme know
Thanks tavis I'll consider that...

Wouldn't this be illegal?
I'm not making any monetary gains Alpha, so it isn't illegal

[Blaksmoke]

Yes yes. Very cool. I can't wait to play it, or hear what the music sounds like.

[HolyPaladin]

Dont you feel like you've had the same convo in all 20 of these threads, Viper?

Honestly, these questions regarding its legality will probably come up from time to time when new people are introduced to the project. There should always be people that wonder about whether or not it's okay so long as there remain people that have yet to be introduced to this work.

[alpha]

Yeah I didn't think that you could make a game using Nintendo characters even if you aren't making a profit.

[ScratchedAt]

Suddenly Daniel returns with the game..

Anyway... why are you idiots asking the same f*cking questions?

WHO CARES IF IT'S LEGAL. HE'S MAKING/MADE IT. BITE HIM!

[HolyPaladin]

Anyway... why are you idiots asking the same f*cking questions?

WHO CARES IF IT'S LEGAL. HE'S MAKING/MADE IT. BITE HIM!

People ask because there will always be people that haven't found out about this project yet and don't yet know whether or not it's legal. The only way to stop these questions from coming up is to personally go door-to-door informing every single person alive that this project is in the works and explain why it is legal. Otherwise, there will remain hundreds of millions of internet users that don't know about Daniel's project, let alone whether or not it is legal.

[Reefstiz]

Wow...that is amazing.. and the screenshots are stunning... Can't wait to play it!

[C.J.]

I started playing my bonus disc again when I saw this. :)

[DanielBarras]

That is my whole goal, and something that I think Nintendo can "take-to-the-bank"... it will make people want to buy/play OOT to find out how true the original I have come... and if I made Majora's Mask and Wind Waker 2D, which I am...
http://www.oot2d.com/ootmmww.gif
Then people will want to check my work with the originals which means more sales for Nintendo, more notoriety for me... and everybody's happy ...

MM2D Alpha Screenshots:
http://www.oot2d.com/mmstuff.gif

[HolyPaladin]

Not just simply as a matter of checking your work against the original, but if somebody plays one of these that hasn't played the console original, they might think to themselves, "Hey, this is a really neat game. I wonder how cool the original 3D game was!" The free 2D game might snag their interest and convince them to pick up the original 3D game.

[DanielBarras]

true dat!

[alpha]

true dat!


It will be cool if you could sell this to Nintendo so they can put it on their GBA games ...i'm sure a lot of people will buy it lol.

[C.J.]

Awesome - Yes.
Will it ever happen? - Doubtful. Highly doubtful.

[KamiKaZe]

^A NONBELIEVER!!! QUICK, SMITE HIM, DANIEL!!

[Shayde]

A non-believer in it coming out on the GBA...

[C.J.]

Kami, I'm often forced to ask myself if you're retarded.

[DanielBarras]

Yes, I think he just means he doubts it will be on GBA, not that the game will come out on PC... so it's ok Kamikaze

[KamiKaZe]

..... *runs away*

[C.J.]

*trips*

Anyway Daniel, do you realize how cruel it is to tell us you'll be doing WW in the same fashion?

*dies*

[Notedog]

Your a staff member now? Is this what Mach and Viper were talking about? Is this that whole Nnow likes games especially Zelda games thing?

[DanielBarras]

Yep Notedog I'm a staff member now, I am currently talking with Brian and David about merging ZFGC with NNow to make the Largest Zelda/Nintendo Forum ever made.

P.S. I've added an installer to 3a/3b which you can now download at the site!

[Notedog]

So much for the big surprise.

[peasantlover]

lol Notedog

[DanielBarras]

Installer is complete, just download 3a / 3b and you'll have a .zip with Install.exe inside, run the program and when it's done you can delete Install.exe, and you'll now have installed OOT2D to your Program Files/Ocarina of Time 2D folder, a shortcut will be on the desktop and in your start menu

http://www.oot2d.com/installer.gif

[Viper]

Schweeet!!!

[Blaksmoke]

I'm clicking next! Nothing's happening!! :bawl:

[DanielBarras]

That's just a screenshot of the installer, you can download 3a or 3b with the installer at

Dumbass Blaksmoke...

[KamiKaZe]

lmao!! tell me you weren't actually clicking on that picture blaksmoke

[majik ninja]

Hey DanielBarras where you the peron who actually thought up this idea and made it? I think its awesome! Ever think of sending it into nintendo or somehting when your done?(assuming you are the one who made it)

[peasantlover]

Blacksmoke > NNOW

[DanielBarras]

Yes Majik, I thought it up, and made it

[kcaj]

I live in england, do you think there is any hope of me getting it here.

[KamiKaZe]

^Idiot...

lol, j/k. You should be able to download the game at his site when he's finished. For now just enjoy the demos.

I mean that I can't buy winzip beecause it cost dollars not pounds.

[Skull Kid]

You don't have to buy Winzip. When it expires, it will still work.

[HolyPaladin]

Yeah, I've always used the trial versions of Winzip, even long after they expire. They complain about wanting me to upgrade and stuff, but I just ignore it. I've raped and abused Winzip that way for several years, I think, and plan to continue raping it for everything it's worth.

[Peter]

I thought winzip was built in. Just rightclick it and unzip the folder.

[Sendok]

^not always...i just got winzip on my laptop and its alreay complaining that i've used it too much...apparently 30 unzipps in one day was "abuse"

[Gunpei]

WTH is the point of zipping a file when it usually just makes it like 100 kb smaller. I hate having to unzip files.

[DankHero]

wont it be hard to do Majoras mask

[DanielBarras]

WTH is the point of zipping a file when it usually just makes it like 100 kb smaller. I hate having to unzip files.
Because some browsers will not allow the download of an .exe

[OnBake Platinum]

www.7-zip.com

Opens all compressed files and is free. As in no "Buy me" screens.

[KamiKaZe]

Oh not the evil 7-up thing....

[HolyPaladin]

WTH is the point of zipping a file when it usually just makes it like 100 kb smaller. I hate having to unzip files.

How much it does or doesn't compress depends on what you're compressing. I've had some files only compress by around 1% while others compressed around 97%. Zipping might be useful if somebody wanted to do something like save a boat-load of jpegs onto a floppy disk (like folks that are stuck dealing with older computers that still have floppy drives). Then, as Daniel mentioned, it helps uploading files to servers that don't allow you to upload anything other than certain specific file extensions.

[Blaksmoke]

Lmao. It was a joke. I'm not that dumb.

[kcaj]

OOT on gamecube had a lot of glitches, obviosly they are not going to be in the 2D version are they.

[HolyPaladin]

:wtf: I don't remember OoT having any glitches.

[MagicJuggler]

:wtf: I don't remember OoT having any glitches.

Infinite Bottles Trick? Riding upon Epona while using a Hookshot. Infinite Gold Skulltulas?

That being said, I salute you Daniel. I too am learning Gamemaker, and I have an idea for a project. Just let me know when you're free, and I'll send the details.

[peasantlover]

Lmao. It was a joke. I'm not that dumb.
you are teh funny
:2raise:

[DanielBarras]

:wtf: I don't remember OoT having any glitches.

I have six pages worth of Glitches.

http://www.oot2d.com/preview6.gif

[Blaksmoke]

I wonder how you're going to fight Morpha in 2-D :eek:

[HolyPaladin]

Infinite Bottles Trick? Riding upon Epona while using a Hookshot. Infinite Gold Skulltulas?

Oh, that stuff? No biggie. The only way I've ever heard of those types of things in the game is by reading articles about them. I've never heard of anybody finding this stuff by accident on their own. I'd say that 99.9% of gamers that played the game never discovered any of these types of "glitches" during normal gameplay.

[DanielBarras]

First release of a teen link sprite...
http://www.oot2d.com/Ruto.gif

Thanks to RedFusionOwnz for his Ruto sprite.

[Skull Kid]

*craps pants*

If I was any good at making sprites, I'd help you out.

[KamiKaZe]

Wow....now I can't wait to see him riding around on Epona shooting arrows. :D

[majik ninja]

Whens demo 4 going to be finished?

[DanielBarras]

http://www.oot2d.com/Sages.gif

[majik ninja]

Good God HURRY I want to play it so bad, it looks amazing.

[KamiKaZe]

You can't rush perfection.

[DanielBarras]

I also updated my Majora's Mask 2D sub-menus to look more like the 3D ones... check em' out...

http://www.oot2d.com/mmstuff.gif

[[[tavis]]]

you should seel it for like 15 bucks a game, I'd pay it.

[Blaksmoke]

Creating the play controls for the masks will be crazy...

[MagicJuggler]

Hmm...I can envision how the system would work...

Daniel could create a variable for Link called Mask_Equipped. Whenever you click on a Mask in the menu, the mask is equipped (mainly by setting variable Mask_Equipped to an appropriate value). Conversations would then be altered determined with a variable check. If Mask_Equipped=a certain number, a certain conversation would take place.

The crazy thing will simply be programming every single encounter/conversation/statistic modifier/etc.

[Mach]

]']you should seel it for like 15 bucks a game, I'd pay it.
Patience, everything will come in due time...

[BWorth]

that is awesome!!!i registered at your forum. I used to work in gamemaker.But it was HARD!!!!!!I was making a online dbz game....but it all got deleted..... *cries* :( and i was REALLY far too...i had a couple maps, all the characters.....:(

[cubemanguything]

I use game maker only to make small games though

[BWorth]

i just started a new game in Game Maker. Seeing wat Daniel can do, it just made me want to start another game. lol..so anyways, it will be a Naruto game. and i am taking the sprites from the naruto gba game, they look kool, they almost look cell shaded. its kool. I'll make a thread soon, and post some pics.

[[[tavis]]]

Patience, everything will come in due time...


people will just pass it along the internet.................I was being nice

[DanielBarras]

Well, I'm back everyone... just moved to Arizona today!

[Blaksmoke]

Hello again!

[Viper]

Welcome back buddy. I hope Arizona does better for you.

[Mach]

All I can think of is that magical number: 9,000!

[Skull Kid]

OMGOMG BUMP!!!1!1 BANNED

j/k. Welcome back. :)

I cant download this demo....can anyone tell me why!!

[DLX]

Wow, excellent work Daniel, I admire your work and your passion for Zelda. I am eager to try out your final work.

[DanielBarras]

I'm all moved in in Arizona, and today's my 26th birthday... w00t! I'll start working on the project now!

[Omega]

Hey, happy birthday, Daniel! If you need any help with porting your game eventually, just let me know, I program in vb, c++, java, php, perl, and asp. I've also used Game Maker extensively but only for turn-based rpg's.

[GuitarRiff07]

lol so would i

[koten]

welcome back (even though i never welcomed you before...) but anyway, maybe you can implament conectivity in some kind of super Zelda 2d - 3d bundle. That would be so awsome

[downtime19]

Hopefully I'll be playing it in the next couple years on my new DS.

[Miyahon]

greetings danny boy, All my friends are clamouring for the deku tree demo. from the nintendo officail forums to some off-beat european ones

[Miyahon]

I wonder how you're going to fight Morpha in 2-D :eek:
yeah that and the rising water levels will be tricky, as with some of the odd parts of the foret temple.

[Shayde]

Hes a fake.

Its never coming out.

[Viper]

Hes a fake.

Its never coming out.
Considering I've played three of his demos and he was a staff memeber here, I can vouch he's no fake.

[Shayde]

Out of curiosity, which demos would these be?

Demo 4 has been at 99% complete for probably about a month now.
Everyday I lose faith in him.

[Viper]

He just went through a major move and a huge domestic situation. I think he has earned our patience.

[Vishus]

Did he make a SNes ROM of it? It would so damn convenient if he did. Just download and all I have to do is use the darn emu. Controls would be even more awesome.

No lock-on, No 1st person view, and No rolling. Actually rolling is ok.

A=Hit
BXY=Items
L=Action
R=Shield

Thats it! Awesome huh.

[HolyPaladin]

Out of curiosity, which demos would these be?

Demo 4 has been at 99% complete for probably about a month now.
Everyday I lose faith in him.

I've started on several video game projects with the same program he's using for his, and I've never made it very far along on any of them for one reason or another. I just don't have the time required to devote to these projects, and it can be rough for most other people to devote the time required to work on projects of their own, too. A good game isn't something that somebody can slap together in a matter of hours, but they require countless hours on top of countless more just to make a modestly decent game. That's a lot for a single person to do, and it would be more than understandable if life gets in the way and delays progress on these types of things. These kinds of things move along as fast as they can, and that's generally not as fast as everybody else thinks they should.

[Vishus]

It would be great if someone paid him like Nintendo so he would devote 40 hours a week to make this.

[Mirai]

It would also be great if the chickens down at work cooked themselves but it aint happening...

[Vishus]

Who said it was? I just it would be great.

[Mirai]

Who said anyone said that it was?

[Haver]

Nintendo shut him down.

[Jushiko]

That a fact?

[Shayde]

Doubt it since this has been around for like 2 years (?).
They hid the OoT2d forum on ZFGC.
The forum demo was supposed to come out last Christmas...I hate to say it, but I'm calling shenanigans on the OoT2d project.

[peasantlover]

Did he move his website, or is it gone?

oot2d.com now working..

[japand00d]

is this crap done yet?

[Viper]

Doubt it since this has been around for like 2 years (?).

The forum demo was supposed to come out last Christmas...I hate to say it, but I'm calling shenanigans on the OoT2d project.
I haven't talked to Daniel in a few months, had him on our staff for a short time too, but he had a few private problems that were interfering with the development. It's by no means a hoax, I've played it. Sadly, I'm unsure of the fate of the project.

I'll contact him soon.

[Mirai]

Damn straight you will...

[TyBO]

Look at what I found!

http://www.zhq2.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3118

For those of you who are too lazy to read all of that, it basically proves that Daniel is fairly incompetent at making his own sprites, or coding in Game Maker for that matter. Most of that stuff was done by people who supported his project. Also, he's been taking way to many "breaks"... he can't possibly be as busy as he says he is. Last, it says he made a ton of promises that he couldn't possibly keep, such as "porting" the game to C++ and then to GBA on a Flash Cart... doing that would take a lot longer than he sais it would.

So, I hate to be the one to break the news to everyone, but it looks like OoT2D will never come out. I know, it really sucks, but I'm afraid it's true. :cry:

[Shayde]

Except that Daniel said many times that there was a very slim chance he would port it so it could be on the GBA. He said it so many times...but yeah I think its fake too...

[Knux888]

[Skull Kid]

Since Daniel's back, I decided to resticky this. :)

[DanielBarras]

My new website http://oot2d.zfgc.com
I'll be updating some stuff tonight like the items (http://www.zfgc.com/dbarras/items.html) section

[HereticPB]

I was wondering what happened to this.

[Spatula]

thank you, daniel. i was worried.

i have read,
http://www.zhq2.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3118
that post.

and i am curious. daniel, if you would please enlighten me about it, i would be honored.

[DanielBarras]

I would be glad to... TSA is an immature person who has nothing better to do than come up with consipiracy theories, lies, assumptions, and more.

He mentions about me not saying that sprites/tiles were made by members, when it was fully shown on the site under the credits page (as he even mentions).

The donations page was due to the fact that we were using EZboard and it cost me $520 for 6 months due to the amount of bandwidth, once we moved to InvisionFree I took the donation page down.

Also he mentions that a GM decompiler does not exists, he is assuming here as well, I myself even have one, and to prove it, I challenge anyone here to post a link to an .exe made in GM 4-5.3a and I will gladly post the .gmd for it (YOU MUST HAVE MADE THE GAME.)

TSA claims that anyone with experience in GM can make my demo in 2 weeks, that's fine, but now that the game is being made in C#.net with DirectX 9.0 SDK I won't have to worry about decompilers, and I sure as heck won't have any hecklers telling me they can pull my demos out of thin air.

Sorry for the rant, but that is my answer.

[Generosity of God]

i'd like to play this. good to hear that it is still going. take as long as u need Dan

[DanielBarras]

New mix, Minish Cap tiles and LTTP pallette.

[bamax]

^agree. I really hope you will finish it soon,cant wait to play it. good luck.

im glad. thanks man. i look forward to it.

[Shoelace]

How far along are you on it?

[mariomania88]

when do you think demo 4 will be released

[DanielBarras]

Since I have switched to C#.net it will be Demo 1 and it will contain all of Young Link's exploits (up until he pulls out the Master Sword)... I am currently at around 60% of that.

[Shoelace]

Cool, I will be awaiting it.

[Deucez]

good luck.. looks great

[Ravster]

So Daniel Barras what stage you on now?

[DanielBarras]

It's Daniel, not Michael... and I'm finishing up making language packs...

Check out my new site at http://oot2d.zfgc.com

[Ravster]

Woooow, thats looks cool so far.

[Shotgun Plasma]

I am looking forward playing full game, it look sweeeet

[The_Cat]

When you finish that I want to put it on my laptop. Then I can pretend I have a DS and I am playing a Zelda game on it! haha

Seriously though, I hope I get a chance to try it out. It looks cool.

[Ravster]

^cool idea bout the DS, lol

[DLazare91]

finish asap but dont rush. it looks amazing cant wait.
Oh for the demo i cant figure out the controls. a little help?

[Spatula]

i look forward to you proving half the internet wrong.

[Viper]

Daniel gets featured in EGM. Good job.

[Ravster]

^woahhh. thats wellll cooooooooool

[Shotgun Plasma]

WOW, he getting famous in his own rights! EVERYONE, POS REP HIM!!

Nintendo shutting him down website, the more reason nintendo feared losing slaes...stupid.

[Viper]

Shotgun, Nintendo didn't shut him down. I've talked to him, he shut it down himself to concentrate on the work. Even says so in that article.

[The_Cat]

That's awesome! I hope Nintendo recognizes Daniel's talent and gives the guys a job. That would be a dream job for 90% of the people in this forum.

Edit: BTW Daniel, what do you do for a living? Are you making the game in part to help get a job? It would be really hard to hold a full time job and recreate such a huge game.

[Viper]

I forgot what he does for a living but he does have a full time job. It's been a year since we had him on our Staff.

you making the game in part to help get a job?

Here is a sample of an unreleased interview I did with him a very long time ago that will answer your question. I may try to get ahold of him and update it.



NintendoNow:
Sounds like things are going great for you. Why did you decide to make a 2D OoT?


Daniel Barras:
Well, Link to the Past has always been (and probably always will be) my favorite game of all time, the puzzles, the gameplay, the levels everything about it was top notch IMHO...
Ocarina of Time had some wonderful Items, a great storyline, and incredibly large levels and an overworld that made you salivate... I wanted to capture that same feel in Link to the Past style, for nostalgia sake.

[DLazare91]

getting featured in EGM is pretty cool. Pretty soon you'll see articles about this all over the internet.

[Dark-Kaomi]

This is such an awesome idea. I really hope he can put the full version out with in the next few years. That is so cool that he got featured and noticed. That'll be great publicity, and maybe it will get him a good paying job.

[The_Cat]

Thanks Viper. That would be cool if you could post an updated version of the interview. I would like to hear more about this.

[Pigobenus]

How long has he been working on this?

[Shayde]

Demo 4 was supposed to be out 12-25-03

[Viper]

I'm going to try to contact him again.

Man, I had him on staff here for a while. We should have locked him down in the NNow basement.

[DanielBarras]

I'm sorry for the absence. By-the-way, Shayde? Demo 4 was in GameMaker, and I've switched over to C#.net with DirectX 9. Viper offered to host my site because I'm no longer at zfgc.

[goku2057]

Seriously dude, let us host your site.

[DanielBarras]

As soon as I get the word from Viper.

[Viper]

Welcome back Daniel. We'd be delighted to help you out.

[DanielBarras]

Thanks Viper, I got your PM and I was very happy to be in EGM this month, aside from the Page 60 article, there is a picture of my Gohma screenshot on page 46.

[Viper]

Really?
*grabs EGM*
certainly is.

Were all the screen grabs back in the gamemaker version?

[DanielBarras]

Yep, just wait though, there's gonna be some really nice stuff in the C#.net version and I think it looks much better too.

[Viper]

Can't wait.


Why do I feel like I'm interviewing you?

[DanielBarras]

Just got off AIM with Mach, he's going to talk with Omega about the subdomain. schweet!

[Skull Kid]

Awesome!

Just remember to give a special thanks to NNow in your credits. I kid, I kid.

[DanielBarras]

Hey SK... long time.

[Viper]

Good, I'm glad you like the idea *of being on our staff again* and really getting the game *and your writing* out there as much as possible.

*these really arent that subtle are they?*

[Crow]

*no*

[Skull Kid]

Hey SK... long time.

Yeah. It has been.

Bowser's still around too. He's now known as OnBake Platinum (and he's still a n00b).

[Xtreme Nemi$i$]

Wow, I never go to the General Gaming thread and just did now and saw this. I read the first page thinking of the guy who was in that EGM article, wondering if it was you. Then I skipped to this last page and you said it was. Unbelievable idea and talent that you have. You must be very happy of your accomplishment. Your almost famous now after being in EGM. I can't wait to play this 2d rendition of OoT.

[Shadow Voa]

Wow I dont stray from the Nintendo section too often, (unless Im visiting the PS2 section for a little Sony rep threatening)but this is the first Ive heard of this project let alone see. This sounds...wow I cant even describe my glee since I saw that EGM image and the only image Ive seen so far. I just need one thing..more pirctures man!! Im dying to see that Gohma image or anymore that are out there...or even play one demo. Dan keep at it man, now Im off to salvage whatever social life I may still have left.

[FireFly182]

I know you've been asked this so many times on ZFGC, but what happened to version 4?

[Psy]

Try reading the thread, FireFly...

He switched over to C++ to stop hackers from decompiling his work in GM, so he basically started over, and now he's supposedly about 60% through with it.

Anywho, any info on that subdomain?

[Spatula]

i dont believe a word of it. hype, hype, hype.

show me the game and ill believe you, mister barras.

[Shoelace]

Me, I believe that he is making the game (hopefully it will be awesome), but I argee with of the majority with the people that he was lying that he was that far in his game (he said he was very far in the game like a year and a half ago). The people didn't like it when he lied, but I still have faith that he will come through in the end and show us proof and maybe a demo becasue I really would love to see this project a reality. But as of right now, I still don't believe he was really that far into the game since the pictures were fake.

[downtime19]

holy hell, how old is this thread?

[fishbonetaher]

quite old, i tried finding the website, but it is nowhere to be found. Does anyone have his new website? where i can atleast see some of those mysterious screenshots.

[Skull Kid]

It's only a year old. :rolleyes:

Whatever happened to that subdomain deal?

[Viper]

He pulled the website offline.

The subdomain probably won't happen. I think he's just too busy with personal life lately.

[Dark-Kaomi]

Well, I hope everything goes okay for him. This idea is a very good one. I, personally, love OoT and 2d graphics. Too many memories of both not to. I hope he can get back to working on this soon, this is truely a magnificent idea, and may bring 2d back just a little bit. Zelda rules!

[Dark_Cloud]

Well, this thread is really really old. If he comes back with more news I will sticky it again.
