Artist anarkhya(https://www.deviantart.com/anarkhya) made some really nice custom detailed overworld graphics and put them in a Tiled map. I was able to mod it into ZALiA and do a run with them. Video also includes some new player character sprite-sets. Enjoy!

This is just something I was having fun with one day. It includes a mix of graphics from Zelda II, Castlevania 2, and original works.

This is the west edge of North Castle Lake. The mountains look great but are straight ripped from Castlevania 2.

I think this was going to be a cave entrance somewhere on the west edge of North Castle Field. The mountains look awesome but are straight ripped from Castlevania 2.

This was meant to be a quest along the path on the west side of the Rauru Woods. The bridge is out and you have to drop to caves below to restore it somehow.

I think this is coming out of North Castle.

A lot of stuff just mashed on top of each other.

I think this was meant to be the entrance to a town.

You don't really see any npcs interacting with each other in Zelda 2. I like the look of two npcs talking to each other or maybe walking with each other.

2.5D Scene Mock-up
Very early in development, while planning out scenes, I modified one into a 2.5D style. The up and down arrows, as well as the <-WE-> directions were part of an idea for the game to not have an overworld.
2024-01-22 16:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostItem Sprites Work
A look at the photoshop file where ZALiA item sprites were designed. A number of these designs were based off of previous Zelda item sprites and some Kid Icarus ones as well. Although I'm proud of my sprite work, you can see I'm not that much of an artist. My process is to just try every possible pixel iteration until something looks good XD

A Randomized Vinesauce Thanksgivirnin
So, Vinny Vinesauce streamed ZALiA again and there were 10 THOUSAND people watching! Wowowow.
Vinny's streams just keep getting more entertaining and this Thanksgiving was no exception. If you haven't watched Vinesauce before, I suggest you spend less time with your life responsibilities and check out them vods.

Super Secret Cucco Tease
This video was made by https://www.twitch.tv/schmidtty_games right around the beginning of 2023 and was to tease the ZALiA community with a secret super cucco hidden in the game that no one had found yet except him.
The search for super cucco was sparked w...

I'm currently hard at work cleaning out the code getting it ready for release. While doing so, I'm beginning to build community content systems. The first being alternate music options. The system is mostly in place at this point so that I just need the music files. Then, all it takes to listen to them is to change the music set in the options m...
2023-10-08 02:45:03 +0000 UTC View PostZALiA Overworld with 8x8 Tiles
This is 1/4 the image size of the normal map with an 8x8 grid instead of 16x16. Some tile graphics are custom to make sense with the size difference. Don't know why I spent so much time on this.. maybe these tile graphics can be used to fit more overworld on the in-game map.

Recently I've been polishing up the game and working on a few extra things. I've been streaming most of it at https://www.twitch.tv/hoverbat.
One major thing is rebinding controller buttons. As you can see in the image, casting magic is set to the left trigger button.
