Hi guys!
I've been making this game for almost a year now, and now suddenly I just don't feel motivated to continue anymore. That's why I came here, to seek motivation to continue on this rather huge project.

Story (spoiler warning)

The main story is about Vaati who steals the Book of Elements, which is said to hold a great magical power. He also attacked Zelda (who tried to protect the book) by turning her into stone. Before the guards were able to catch him, Vaati teleported away.
Now this is where you come in. As Link, you have to save princess Zelda by unlocking the true power of the Book of Elements. The only way do that is (besides getting the book back) collecting the four elements of Fire, Water, Earth and Air. However, each one of the elements is guarded by a mighty guardian (aka boss), which you have to defeat in order to get the element it keeps protected.

There will be sidequests, different weapons, many enemies and different healing potions/food.


Well yeah, that's kinda what I've got for story (I know it sucks ). The game is using Minish Cap graphics.
The game is entirely programmed in Java, most sprites are done by Nintendo.

What's been done so far

• Some basic quests (will most likely be re-done later)
• 2 different Swords with different attack strength
• Rupees
• Different food and healing potions
• Basic walking and area switching
• Shield
• Save/Load game
• Some very (VERY) basic NPCs and monsters (will most likely be redone later)
• A very, VERY basic combat system
• Ingame music and sounds
• Pause menu (items-, map- and questmenu)

What needs to be done

• More quests
• More items and weapons
• Better monster AI
• Bosses
• More areas
• An options menu where you can turn off sound and other stuff

Well, that basically sums it up. I've playtested on my Sony Ericsson Z710i, and it works fine on it (some random out of memory crashes still happens sometimes).

I really hope that you guys can help me get my motivation back, please test the game on your mobilephone (or use an emulator on the computer) and tell me what you like. I'm counting on you guys

Controls
UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT (2, 4, 6, 8) = Walking, selecting choices in menus.
7 (aka GAME_A) = Select currently selected choice, attack (if a weapon is equipped).
9 (aka GAME_B) = The action button, use to speak to people, save game, buy items (basically every interaction with objects)
# (aka GAME_D) = Use shield (need to obtain it first)

Notice: The controls are based on my mobile phone(Sony Ericsson Z710i)

Thanks =)
I might continue if enough people want me to

yeah definitley continue man! you've come so far, I would definitley play it man and Im sure loads of others would as well.

Thanks. There is a download link in the top of my first post if you would like to tests it. Can't guarantee it will work though, it uses much more memory than most other games =P

I've decided to continue on this project. I also released a new version, Beta 5.5.

Changes:

• Greatly improved NPC's animation system to make it easier to implement more advanced animations.
• Major improvement to the combat system. Whenever you hit a monster, they will be stunned for a short moment and flash white.
• When you kill a monster they will drop a rupee on the ground instead of adding it directly to you.
• A sound is now played whenever you succesfully hit a monster. A sound is also played when you pick up rupees or get it as a quest reward.
• You can now open the chest at Trillby Highlands!
• Added one extra heart, giving you a total of 20 HP instead of 16.
• One of the snakes in Western Woods has been moved slightly west.
