Betrum?

i figured he could be more ghostly?

also:

how about having link transported to the new land, similar to the way he was in the other two games. when he arrives, he meets Impa- like the other games and while Farone isn't looking impa accidentally reads from the book a calling spell or something that brings Betrum back from the dead? Betrum blames his death and possible imprisonment on the book of secrets and removes all the secrets from it and because Farone is the keeper of the book imprisons her so she cannot write in the book anymore. link has the book of secrets from the start but cannot use it doesn't know how to until later in the game. Betrum's goal is to use the secrets that he stole from the book of secrets to restore himself to his true form to conquer the world?

i skimmed most of this topic and didn't really see any solid story.

Sorry for being inactive for so long guys O.o Anywho, the project will be made with gamemaker, Ledgible Lettuce, and if you wish to help with the project you can. Kimboy, the game will take place after Ages and Seasons. Not sure about Betrum lighting the flame though, because if I remember correctly Kotake and Koume do that. And Evilwalwuigi, those ideas sound fantastic. But a little add on to it... since Link is in possesion of the book, and Farore is imprisioned inside it, maybe Farore could actually be your partner similar to Navi (But more helpful, and less annoying). I'm going to work on Betrum's main sprite, I'll post it as soon as I finish.

Here is Betrums main form, feel free to criticise:

that just looks like a bad subrosian edit :/
he needs to look more human.

Really? O.o I didn't even use any refrences or nothing. Would you mind explaining in detail what you think I should do to fix it?

How's this? I enlarged it twice so that you can see it easier.

much better.

I sort of dislike the "kenny from south park" hood, but otherwise it looks nice.
since this is intended to be his human form (and he's supposed to be crazy if I remember correctly) this fits nicely.

Alrighty then, I'll get started on the rest of the sprite sheet

Here is the new sprite sheet for Betrum. If any new sprites/animations need to be added in before game completion, then I'll do so:

(Sorry for the bump, but I really am trying the best I can to keep this project from closing...)

Anybody have any c+c on the sheet I did on Betrum? (That is only his first form, and I'll most likely have to add more to it later) I've been trying to come up with a design for his second and third form - But have not been doing so well. I f have time this week I'll see if I can draw a sketch of what I have in mind for his ladder forms.

2 first frames of the second row :
His head/hood would not be that flat.

hey dude. im an animator (and im bored ) so if i need to do something you just have to say it

NOTE: If you are not planning on staying on the two original games path, ignore this post.

About trox17's post

(06-22-2010, 11:10 PM)trox17 Wrote: [ -> ]1. There are 8 dungeons AND the final boss. So there need to be 8 essences.
2. I don't think the game should deviate from the path the other two set, so shouldn't the main item just get added to. Like maybe after you "translate" certain parts of the book in some way you can access more parts of the other dimension.
3. The Master Sword and the Mirror Shield were both achieved by using secrets from the other games, unless the game was set after the other two oracle games.
4. I'm not sure how many people actually realize what Veran and Onox's goals were in the first place. Veran's goal was to light the Flame of Sorrow by sowing sorrow throughout Labrynna, and Onox was supposed to sow destruction throughout Holodrum therefore lighting the Flame of Destruction. After both these flames were lit the Flame of Despair was lit. The Flame of Despair was lit to resurrect Ganon, but they also needed to sacrifice Zelda. Since that couldn't happen Twinrova sacrificed herself to resurrect Ganon.
5. I noticed the Maku Trees are the same gender as the final bosses, so maybe you should do that. Oh, but if the other dimension is like a mirror of the first (which I believe is too much like Ages) then the Maku Tree could be male in one and female in the other, which I believe someone else suggested.
6. I think Vipershark's idea was not a very good one (no offense), and not having the essences bring strength back to the Maku Tree(s) would, I think, deviate too far from the other games.
7. Would fire arrows be necessary with ember seeds? I think it would be better to have ember arrows instead, or something that shot seeds instead of arrows.

1.Completely agree
2.Completely agree
3.I don't think it should be set after...
4.Another flame, possibly? Like the Flame of Chaos or the Flame of Confusion, something that would be spread because of Betrum doing whatever he does with the Book of Secrets.
5.(See 1 or 2)
6.(See 5)
7.Both the other games have items that shoot seeds so shouldn't this one?

Also, the book on Farore's table is just her memory book, not the Book of Secrets, so shouldn't there be a new sprite for it?

I like the general idea, but some things are straying from the path the first two set(and that I'm trying to follow in mine)
