Why not both? Zero is a long term WIP as Vile's clone.

Ah, you mean stage "1-5". So it is.

That's just a tech demo stage, so no real thought was put into its design. That stage doesn't even exist in the master source, so don't worry about it. It won't be in any official release.

Maybe Joy2Key a controller emulator. The internal joystick support our development kit (Game Maker 7.0) provides isn't able to properly cover the game's range of controls, simple as they are.

You'll need to get a gamepad emulator like Joy2Key. The built in gamepad support the engine were using has is terrible, and won't cover our game's needs.

Properly set up Joy2Key is just as good anyways.

Hmmm... the Link info is outdated. Some of his abilities/powers have been changed. More info will be posted once he's closer to completion. For now ignore the outdated gameplay info and enjoy the screenshots.

Fortunately most game companies have concluded fangames pose little threat to them and shutting them down does little but make them look like jerks.

For the most part game companies are willing to look the other way so long as you don't break the following rules:

- Don't make a profit (That could have been their money)

- Don't make a direct remake of one game (Could threaten future remakes of their own. A fan made Chrono Trigger remake was shutdown because of this)

- Don't shamelessly insult their company or use their characters in an obscenely inapprorate fashion (A game having Mario doing porno stuff wouldn't likely go down well with Nintendo)

Nintendo most likely knows about us at this point, as we tied for best in show at the recent NCFC convention and have been a hot topic at the MFGG forums. Sega, Capcom, and SNK have all released statements saying they're ok with fangames on the most part. If an other company were using content from tells us to stop, we'll remove their content and move on.

For those complaining about the difficulty, yeah we got a bit carried away with cranking out alot power play stages first. Over time easier stages should be added, or at least some of the stages will be toned down a bit to force some easier game play in.

Don't expect it to ever get as easy as modern games though. There will always be that 8bit/16bit era brutality going on in this game.

Heh, well it was more Dr. Pepper and scavenged leftovers for me. But the Nintendo Power magazines were definitely there :P

No new worlds. We got our hands full with the 11 we already have planned as it is.
