🕶️ A bird's-eye view of the beginning of the game (v.0.2.3, on my Linux PC) where Link leaves a tavern where he woke up after being kidnapped and dropped off there by Vikings (after about 5 minutes of gameplay). The graphics are adorable, partly inspired by the Nintendo series (fair use). 📚️ The Legend of Zelda: Mercuris Chest is a (partially) libre and multi-platform reboot of The Legend of Zelda: Mystery of Solarus DX (zsdx), itself thought as the sequel of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (on SNES), an action-RPG game, with the same graphics (reason why it is only partially libre) and game mechanics. This reboot is the most ambitious project of the Solarus Team, it has the ambition to become a reference amateur Zelda, with a huge and open world, many biomes, NPCs and side quests, and characters and graphical elements specially created to give it its own charm.

🕶️ A view of its map editor with the editing of a map from the Ocean Heart game. The UI is divided into 2 parts: on the left (1/5th of the screen) the project tree, on the right the tilesets making up the map with their characteristics (name, description, location, associated music, patterns, etc.) and one map (3/5th of the screen) among 5 (5 tabs) being edited, composed from the tilesets. 📚️ A libre and multi-platform engine & development environment for 2.5D Action-RPG games (not limited to Zelda games). The engine supports heavy computations and low-level operations, so the developer can focus on the logic of the game, based on Lua scripts. These scripts describe the behavior of enemies and actions, and bidirectionally communicate with the engine (which can also trigger scripts according to particular events). It has been put to the test in 6 published games, and 6 more are in development.

#Solarus 2.0 выглядит здорово! :neofox_floof__w_: Этот игровой движок отдаёт вайбами #GameMaker из прошлого десятилетия, поддерживает Lua и имеет необходимый для построения карт из паттернов инструментарий.

Solarus is a free, open source, 2D game engine primarily designed for creating Action-RPGs (often called "Zelda-like" games) that is written in C++ and allows users to script their game logic using Lua. It is considered open source because its code is publicly accessible and can be modified and distributed by anyone under the GPL v3 license.

Creemos que la mayoría de jugadores estarán de acuerdo con nosotros en que tanto Bloodborne y la saga Zelda son videojuegos excelentes.

Y esa misma opinión la debió tener el desarrollador Max Mraz al crear Yarntown con el motor libre Solarus. Este juego es la perfecta mezcla de como se vería Bloodborne si fuera un juego al estilo los Zelda clásicos de la Super Nintendo.

Following #unity 's pricing changes, why not trying to switch to a free open-source #gameengine ? 💰

Nowadays, some are as advanced as Unity, such as the great @godotengine for instance! 👍

And for your 2D project, you could even try #solarus. You'll be welcomed by a generous and warm community. 😀

Ocean's Heart is the first Solarus game to be released on Steam and Nintendo Switch, and it just hit the 100k copies being sold! 🥳
Congratulations to Max! He made a fantastic game! 👏
