The Legend of Zelda: Forgotten Gates is a Zelda fan game with Final Fantasy-style combat and a dash of Rogue-like. It is inspired by and uses characters from the online roleplaying community Triforce MUCK.

Join a merry band of roleplayers as they weave a tale of adventure in the world of Hyrule. Monstrous forces stir in the land, kidnapping various individuals and leeching their innate magic. As the heroes rescue their friends and gather clues about the incidents, they uncover a plot to reopen long-lost portals to distant lands where powerful artifacts lie hidden. Can our heroes beat the sinister hordes to the legendary relics? More importantly, what can our roleplayers do if the guy who started this campaign has to take a night off? Guess somebody else could take over for a bit, but the story (and the gameplay!) could turn out a little different depending on who's telling it...

Forgotten Gates is currently in a very rough, barely-playable alpha stage, but it boasts procedurally-generated random quests, complex enemy behavior, and heroes both familiar and original. The final game is expected to feature a unique interactive narrator system, support for creating your own quest generation rules, and over a dozen playable characters.

Battle banter almost done (for now)

Yet another month that's been mostly about coming up with battle banter. I finished Arumarg's, did Fallon's and Mituni's, and got around halfway through John's. John turned out a little more work than I expected because I did a lot of variations for one of his skills, Morale Fiber (which weaves vines around an ally to increase their defense). See, a running joke I have with John is that his crow companion Scruvo is always trying to set him up with any eligible ladies they run into, so I decided having John use this skill on a female character should trigger this quirk. X) Here's a few examples:

Zelda: "Y'can always depend on Johnny-boy to protect a princess!" Scruvo declares proudly. "Why, he's so good at it, y'might as well keep 'im by y'side forev--" "That's enough, Scruvo!" >:P
Irina: "Makes y'feel safe, don't it?" Scruvo quips as John's protective vines wrap around Irina. "Just imagine how much bettah it'd feel if it wos Johnny-boy's arms--" "SCRUVO!" >P
Ruto: "Gotta say, y'look lovely wrapped in foliage," Scruvo remarks to Ruto. "I bet Johnny-boy'd be thrilled t'see ya walk down the aisle like--" "WE'RE NOT EVEN THE SAME /SPECIES/, SCRUVO!!!" DX<

While I agree that this project has potential the current build really doesn't feel ready for release. I realize that the release was probably pushed a bit for the Release Something XIII event, but it really feels like it should have been held back for a bit longer considering how prone this game is to crashing.

Wow, an actual video for my game, wasn't expecting that, especially so soon. :) Thanks for that, and thanks for finding those bugs, hadn't seen those before.

Your welcome.

Though I would have had this posted sooner if my upload speed to youtube wasn't so slow right now. I've been waiting almost five hours now for the next part of my Let's Play for Wild Arms 5 (PS2) to clear.

I like the look of those battlers. Mapping is a little square.

Thanks, it's encouraging to hear someone express an interest. :) Unfortunately you'll be waiting a while as this project is currently on hiatus, but I do intend to get back to it.
