TRIANGLEGM'S PROFILE
TriangleGM
38
I was born in January of 1982 on a U.S. airbase in Misawa, Japan. My family returned home before I was old enough to form memories, but between my uncle marrying a Japanese woman and my family keeping a lot of Japanese toys, cookware, and customs around the house, I've always felt a weird connection to the land of the rising sun. I'd love to visit Japan someday, but it hasn't happened yet.
I was raised on VHS tapes of G.I.Joe, The Last Unicorn, the Rankin/Bass version the Hobbit, and so on. I know what the song "Domo Origato, Mr. Roboto" is really about. I like to write. I like to create. When I can find time, I run table-top D&D, study screenplay writing, design board games, and well, I use RPG Maker XP.

Legend Maker
I haven't actually tried SMBX yet, although it seems like I would have. It is eagle-eye view style. They also have a youtube channel with a number videos and a facebook page where they respond pretty well to questions. Dream Mix is their company name.
Dream Mix at facebook...
and on youtube.
Zelda Classic... OMG, I think that may actually be what I thought used to be Zelda Maker before they changed their name. I had remembered seeing some kind of Zelda game-making engine a long time ago, and when I went to look for it, I found Legend Maker. Now I'll have to download Zelda Classic so I can compare.
Unfortunately, I have some work to do first, because last night Bill Gates decided I needed to have Windows 10 installed. It was a long angry night. Now, I feel like I should either create a new system back-up disc, figure out how to revert to Windows 7, or both before I install any more new programs.
... it installed Candy Crush King on my computer ... that game is like the mascot for everything I hate about smart phones. I do not want a computer that works like my phone, I already don't like the way phones work. But I digress!
Since it is no longer directly a Zelda themed, Legend Maker has original artwork and graphics that are something like a hybrid of Zelda and RPGMaker. The way the interface is set-up in the alpha is extremely fluid, but since it is only one component of the whole program I don't if it will always be that way. I can say that I had a lot of fun throwing together an old-school style dungeon in relatively short time.

Legend Maker
I just downloaded the alpha demo for Legend Maker (formerly Zelda Maker). This has once again reminded me of the difference between an alpha and a beta. It's not bad, it's just very early in development. I had some fun playing around with it anyway though.
What's there right now is rather limited, and nothing is explained, but it's enough to make a dungeon with chests, enemies, items, and some simple old-school "puzzles" in the way of movable blocks, bomb walls, key-doors, etc.
I was very excited when I saw it come back up with the new name. I had seen it a while back and didn't know what happened to it. Evidently they had to do a lot of redesigning graphics and so forth in addition to the name change. If anybody's interested they do have a facebook page at Dream Mix, and the kickstarter just went live a couple of days ago.
I had started making a "Zelda parody" with RMXP, but being able to do it as an actual adventure in the proper style is going to be so much cooler.
Has anybody around here been following this? Are people excited about it?
