The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds' dungeon design | Boss Keys

Overworld analysis inside

[SchriefFighter]

Huh, I've been seeing that video around the internet. Interesting!

[gimymblert]

The whole series is interesting

[JobLeonard]

Not able to watch it now (work), TLDR what the connection to BotW is other than being a Zelda game?

[gimymblert]

The series is leading up to BOTW and will contrast BOTW to the previous zela, it's why the series was started. He do build up to BOTW with tease in this video, though we will have to wait way until the second dlc released and played to have the botw video.

[gimymblert]

Mod alert, model swap is happening, all hell is ready, apparently just weapon and main character, can't wait for total conversion if they have the terrain, enemy and environment.

WORK ON WIIU (use the program wii u usb loader)

Also botw on pc is on its way to become the new skyrim mod heaven, I won't be surprise if skyrim is ported to the engine as some point.

there is also plenty of hack program to enhance performance SPECIFICALLY for botw









I'm personally bound by CPU an HD, gpu seems fine and it's a laptop gpu and there is "graphic pack" for lower gpu (reduce resolution). Xenoblade is kinda fine though.

It is surprisingly infuriating that the last video isn't a 60fps capture

Breath of the Wild CEDEC 2017 developer presentation

http://www.4gamer.net/games/341/G034168/20170901120/
4Gamer article with diagrams (Japanese)

https://twitter.com/gypsyOtoko/status/915037635663425536
Twitter thread with translation and with photos of slides


Interesting stuff:

They had a flagging system where messages would appear in-game marking bugs, things to change with information on the issue



A lot of talk about the game's world design, and how they utilized sightlines and "triangles and rectangles" as guideposts and ways to draw the player's eye.










Heat maps showing how they originally placed events between towers, but that lead to everyone just following towers and having a very linear experience, and it drastically changed after they adjusted this


And they adjusted it by created various tiers of vertical signposts that would distract and sidetrack players so they would wander off toward the one that most attracted their playstyle or needs (ie, aggressive players would go for camps, exploration players would head toward shrines, etc.), and that they deliberately allowed the visibility of these to change during the night.









This is all really neat stuff. The concept of making open worlds "hilly" to make them seem bigger and entice players with landmarks is a super old one, but I didn't realize how much thought they put into it until now.

Here are some other CEDEC 2017 Botw articles.

FYI - I found all these summaries here.JP net notes that devs were in awe, "only NCL knows how to really make games"

Booty of the WIld | Princess Zelda Mod

It's almost done

[truewarrior]

May have to buy a Switch purely for this game. I'd also play Mario Kart I guess... but always been a massive Zelda fan after OOT and MM.

[gimymblert]

Well fan will be more than happy:

[s0]

He rides a road
That don't have no end
An open highway
Without any bends
Tramp and his stallion
Alone in a dream
Proud in his colours
As the chromium gleams

On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he gladly dies
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life

You're not kidding. I finished my second playthrough just the other day. Haven't touched the game after I finished it back when it was released. I enjoyed this playthrough more than the first one! I really enjoyed focusing on the little things now that I knew where to go and what to do.
