Title: Open Graal: Lost to the back abyss of the internet? Post by: pixelghost on February 08, 2012, 06:20:18 AM This is old news though, ZC has been rocking for a while and still continue to rock it.
another good engine but old, and i still currently use today due to its open concept, is Open Graal. Open Graal is basically a remake of the Zelda: A Link To The Past. but has a twist.. it is all completely customizable. from tile sets, gui's, inventory screens, has its own built in editors, its own scripting language. basically you could make anything you want with it. best part about it, its multiplayer! you could create multiplayer servers with up to like 700 people if you like. or more! depends on your computer power. i highly recommend jumping on the forums and checking it out, the engine, trying the graal classic server and others. there is many different types of servers, with different tilesets, or you can create your own. amazing community of developers, and a lot of tutorials to get you started as well. and spread the word, the more people playing this, the better it is. im serious. TIG needs to do a review of Open Graal if zelda games are in the flavor of the month. i wish more people were on. countless hours on tilesets and new weapons etc and not a lot of people. and this game is amazing! seems like its been lost to the back corners of the internet. then again if you do not know what you are looking for, it is an easily missed title for the PC. for developers, this is an open source project as well, you could bust into some coding and begin working on the enginer yourself basically. i am sure they could use the help. for the pixel artists out there. Boy, will you have a hayday. The editors and stuff use GIF, and PNG file formats in 8 bit for design and tileset implement. anyways, i highly recommend it, and we kind of need more players over there for it to start moving forward. hope to see you all there! the more people rocking and working on this, the better it gets. annnnnd honestly, running around maps you made and quests and dungeons you created, puzzles, items, etc with friends and other people, with fully customizable content. you cannot go wrong, seriously. http://forums.graal.in/forums/ Title: Re: Open Graal: Lost to the back abyss of the internet?
