LOL good joining up spire

 

[Claire Diviner]

I was thinking of making a thread that updates on news about the URA Project. Seeing as Spire, someone actually working on the project, has made this thread, I'd say it's more fitting. I've already listened to all the tracks so far, and all that goes through my mind is "wow, it sounds like Koji Kondo composed this stuff himself!". Actually, I think I'll listen to the tracks again, they're that good.

 

[freddie1983]

Though sounds an old story... Still it's looking really great and it'd be cool if they actually finished it, although I'm wary of that happening as the last two projects similar to this got dumped about halfway through development, and it really doesn't look like they've made super much progress.

 

[Spire]

That's because they haven't released about 75% (at least) of the progress they have made. There's so much going on with this project and it's far from being abandoned. I talk with most of the team members on a daily basis now because we're all working hard to make this happen. I can easily say that every chance every member gets to progress the development, they do, and that's basically a daily routine.

 

[Claire Diviner]

Plus with all the work, including the music, that's been done, I seriously doubt anyone would just give up on the project. That would be a waste of great effort.

 

[etecoon]

hype, can't wait to see what you come up with.

 

[Bigglestheman]

Can't wait to sees screenshots.

 

[Gatlin]

Stickied-

Good luck with this Spire, looking forward to some previews

 

[KhaosOverdrive]

I've been following this for a while, cannot wait until it's completed.

 

[Spire]

Alright, so Trailer 3 is delayed for the time being. Zeth is getting things together. I haven't seen any footage from it yet, so I'll post it when it's up. In the meantime, here's an image of the entrance to the Palace of Darkness:

Spoiler: Enjoy!

 

[Morin0]

My body and my emulator are ready

 

[Spire]

Exclusive SWF peek!

Wanna see a character I'm working on?

Spoiler: Phantom Lord

Keep in mind this is a work-in-progress.

 

[Claire Diviner]

I don't know what that character is, but I am loving it. I'm guessing either a high rank enemy, like Iron Knuckle, or a boss.

 

[Spire]

Far more important than a disposable enemy. No more information for now!

 

[Claire Diviner]

Well, thanks for the update. I can hardly wait for more.

 

[FooltheFlames]

A Zelda game with a secret Super Boss!? That's something Ive been waiting for a long time, this sounds pretty cool!

 

[zaneebaslave]

Looking forward to see all the lovely characters and creatures in this new game!

 

[T-block]

This looks incredible o_o I'll definitely be following your progress with excitement. Keep it up ^_^

 

[Spire]

I have retired from the Ura Team. It was fun.

 

[Claire Diviner]

I have retired from the Ura Team. It was fun.

Aww. Why does it feel so soon? That said, are they still going to work on it?

 

[Spire]

I became too controlling of the project, not to say I wanted to, but I suppose my constant flow of ideas shook the pillars of Ura, inflating it to a very unstable and unrealistic level. I decided to leave the project so Zeth could properly lead the team. As much as I want to say I helped, I can't say a lot of progress was made in the time I was a part of the team. They were doing great, Trailer 3 was about to release—then I joined and I brought my technological curse. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. I hope the very best for the team and I know Zeth can lead them to completion.

The project has so much potential, with much of it already realized. It must be completed.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

A wise but painful decision

 

[Claire Diviner]

Understandable. If leaving the team is for the best, the by all means, do what you feel is necessary.

 

[Spire]

I've rejoined the team. We are shooting for a January 15th release of Trailer 3, but due to a terrible family tragedy for Zeth, it may be delayed beyond that date. I'll keep you folks posted.

 

[Claire Diviner]

Great to hear that you're back on the team. I am sorry for the tragedy in Zeth's family. If a delay is to occur, I can definitely understand, as can everyone else, I would imagine.

 

[Spire]

 

[etecoon]

Nice, I like how both gerudo symbols are incorporated

 

[Claire Diviner]

Huh, wasn't expecting anthropomorphic versions of Wizzrobes and Darknuts. I do like the designs and attention to detail, however.

 

[Spire]

Glad you guys are fond of these (even happier that you still check the LoZ room so you could have seen them!). Since I've known you too for quite some time, have any suggestions, maybe not for these but other enemies? Not that I'm running dry of ideas, but if possible, I'd like to try illustrating some joint concepts between me and my fellow smashboarders

 

[Claire Diviner]

I think it'd be cool if there were to be a Gleeok in there somewhere. I haven't seen one in a 3D Zelda game yet, so if you guys can somehow fit one in there, that'd be awesome.

 

[Spire]

Unless you don't count Phantom Hourglass as 3D.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Uh oh this still exists :o!

Peculiar take on the classic enemies. Any word on the relevance of Ganon this game?

 

[Spire]

Ganon was sealed in the Dark World at the end of Ocarina of Time. This game takes place two years later.

In regards to the timeline, Ura will split into a fourth branch, so no worries about contradictions.

 

[Claire Diviner]

I never played Phantom Hourglass, so I never knew Gleeok made an appearance there. I suppose there's always the Helmasaur King or that group of eyeballs from LttP's Misery Mire dungeon.

Glad to know there won't be any continuity issues with this.

 

[Orngeblu]

Hey, if they ever do finish this, how does one play this game? Through emulator?

 

[Spire]

Emulator or N64 Flash Cart. If you obtain one, it will be possible to play Ura Zelda on your N64.

I know, that's really awesome. A shame the flash carts are so expensive though ($199!)

I wouldn't buy one until Ura is complete and there's a 100% guarantee it'll run on the flash cart. Here's where you can purchase if you are interested: http://64drive.retroactive.be/purchase.php

 

[Orngeblu]

Alright, thanks. I probably won't buy a flash cart...heck, I don't even have a N64 anymore. Doesn't seem worth it, just for this. I'll probably use an emulator.

Good luck to you guys anyways! :3

 

[Banjodorf]

This project looks amazing, you guys! It's great to see how much work you're putting into these designs, Spire! Not that I'd expect any less.

Can't wait for more info on this. Well done 3D Zelda fan games are the best possible idea ever.
