Also, remember 64 kb file size limit? I love huge maps, which you can explore, so I'd like to see what others have towards this idea.

Total Posts: 19 | yeah dude, a zelda maker for the 89 would be so phat! i'd make some phat levels... the map doesn't have to be that big, maybe even just a 50x50 main map, 30x30 sub maps, and 10x10 rooms would be good... and if you wanted more you could just make another one, and have a password for it if you want to be able to start it, but that would restrict going back and forth i guess. although you could segment map files in to 4 or 5 different files and have the calc pull them out of the archive as they are needed, that would probably work too - i've always wanted to make a zelda game for the calc, but i don't have the programming skills, this would be awesome, but finish SAS and SC first. |
