Just a general update regarding a few pieces of news from around the block. First off is…
Minish
The Minish Cap guide has been updated, and now takes you through the third dungeon. Have fun with that, and be sure to thank Michael! You can view it on The Minish Cap Guide page. Next up, we have…
Manga
As many sites around the community have been boasting about, the “original” Legend of Zelda manga has finally been translated into English. Overall, it’s one of the better mangas, at least in our opinion. It goes quite deep into the theme of the original Logend of Zelda game, but it also deviates from the plotline quite a bit. That could be a plus or minus, depending on where you stand on the canon. Either way, I nabbed and colorized an awesome piece of art from it, seen to the right. You can check out the site it’s hosted on (called BerriBlue) here. And still more news is…
Kakashi
Though not ready yet, we’ve made good headway on the demo engine. Keep in mind that when our release comes, you won’t see much; the engine is essentially the core of the game, involving the character’s coding, movement, etc. The rest wiull start to come along soon once we get over this hump. Once again, we apologize for the wait, but know that we’ve been very busy. Though it’s unlaunched, I can tell you all that we’re working on a seperate website to specifically cover the game. More news soon! And finally, we have the…
Pegasus Boots
To cut to the chase, our site’s been growing in both traffic and size. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a longer load time added to our already long load time. So after a few cuts (we promise you won’t know the difference!), we’ve been able to reduce our load time by an average of about 40%! Overall, we’re quite excited about this, as it makes the world a more friendly place! In the future we hope to cut down the load times even more. Thanks for checking us out!
Just an exciting update- one of our staffers has just won a big cash prize for designing a winning PC game! Most of you may know Alex Plunkett as being our lead coder for Kakashi: The Search for Tingle. The total prize money was $500.00, which we’re sure he can use to create even better games! Stop by in our comments section, and tell him congratulations, and also thank him for working so dilligently on the Kakashi title.
An interesting tidbit to accompany yesterday’s post confirming the announcement of the release date, I thought some would be interested to hear that almost 2 months ago, there was a report of a possible outing of the release date coming from a leaked image of Gamestop’s internal listing of games to come in the latter part of the year. The list includes several other games that all have correct release dates, and the date listed for Zelda Wii is November 1, 2010. I would suggest taking this with a grain of salt as nothing is certain until we get an official account from Nintendo at E3 here in a matter of weeks, but this is an interesting and intriguing article and picture I thought some of you would be interested to see. If this is true, I know where I’ll be at the stroke of midnight on Halloween night this year: my local Wal-Mart!
