Description
Where no dorks have gone before.I made this bit here as a thank you to all the people who have supported and followed my work all of these years. Because of all the positive feedback, I'll probably continue to work on Hyrule: Total War after the dust settles, and assuming the Big N doesn't step in after the recent Steam Greenlight incident. It's been almost a week though, and the page was taken down with no word negative word from Nintendo on the matter. I'm still holding my breath, but things are looking good at the moment.
Assuming the worst case scenario does happen, I will most likely re-brand my work into my own IP. I know it's not quite the same as having Zelda in the title, but it will be the only way to salvage all my work in that situation.
So thank all of you for tagging along for the ride. Thank you Jim Sterling for catching and most likely putting a stop to this mess before it got worse. And if any representatives from Nintendo happen to stumble on this, I thank you for letting me mess around in this sandbox that is your intellectual property. I know I've spouted some extremely harsh criticism against this company in the past, but I do not want my personal opinions about their recent products to translate into wishing harm or infringing on the profits or image of the company. I wish Nintendo the best, I'd probably not be trying to make games if it was not for them.

GladΒ to hear things turned out well. BTW do you plan on including a tutorial mode in the final version as well as a working advisor feature? Some of us who are into this game might not have played total war before.

Interesting re-imagining of the King of Red Lions. Personally, I want to see what he looks like as a war galleon rather than a dinghy.

Adorable.
Also, is it just me or does WW's art style seem better when hand drawn rather than 3D?
π: 0 β©: 1
Most of the artsy Zelda games look better when drawn in 2D. Even Skyward Sword had really beautiful artwork, it just somehow lost all of that when translated to 3D.

I think you'll be fine, seeing as it wasn't you who originally put the game up on Steam Greenlight and tried to monetize it.
Best of luck-- I always love seeing your work and I hope one day to play a finished version of H:TW!

And hey thank you UndyingNephalim for going against the tide and having the passion to release something fresh and interesting on table, in spite of all the haters. We really appreciate it. And hey, even if the worse case scenario occurs you'll still have supporters by your side, I know it.
On another note, wow, you doing the WW Style for your Art. I love it. You do it well. Great proportions, and of course a nice manly Link :3Β
Speaking of which did you ever get in contact with the idiot who sold your game on steam?
π: 0 β©: 1
I've discovered the person responsible, it seems he's a 12 year old kid who probably didn't know any better. I've been unable to get into contact with him.

Oooh okay. Just didn't know any better. Still an incredibly dangerous and dumb shit move to do but hey at least he's been called out for it.

Hope everything settles calmly and peacefully and that you can carry on doing what you do

Yeah they got the same scarves like the dorks they are.
As for re-branding, I would rename the characters and setting, change around appearances, and that sort of thing. I would keep the gameplay and general story though.

I would say Hylia doesn't represent any specific Zelda game, nor the Zelda series in general. I think she probably just represents any man made idol that has sacred traits projected unto it by the people that made or follow it. A lot of the themes in HTW revolve around different groups of people idolizing otherwise normal things, usually because they fail to do the research or don't even know about or understand more legitimate deity figures.
I can't count the number of times Miyamoto-san gets complete credit for creating Zelda when he's flat out said he has not. Most of the setting and lore from the Zelda series actually originated fromΒ Takashi_Tezuka , who's ideas are almost entirely based on putting spins on Tolkein's work. Still, you'll run into debates with fanboys who throw Tezuka under the bus and go about about how Miyamoto is the voice of God in regards to Zelda because they've done no research at all and are projecting idol traits unto him. Fun fact, Miyamoto wanted to put aΒ fully automatic assault rifle in Twilight Princess before it eventually evolved into the Crossbow from Link's Crossbow Training. He does not necessarily have the final word, and some of his ideas really are baffling and rightly shot down by his own crew.
I think I'd say my games are anti-fanboy and not anti-Zelda.

Yeah, you bring an interesting point about different interpretations and the inability of certain individuals to accept them.
There are several instances in the past that individuals have, and I can't seem to find a better way to phrase this, claimed that I have broken some 'invisible law' for portraying a character in a different light. A prime example is my version of Agitha, who obviously is a pretty large spiral off of her canon portrayal. Despite this, my choices are actually based on conclusions I've come to from canon evidence: in Twilight Princess she's a ten year old child who locks herself in a dark and poorly lit basement, talks to bugs, has parents who are clearly not around to take care of her (and are even implied to be dead as she is the sole owner of the house in it's deed). These are clearly the ingredients and seeds of a person who will grow up to be, in the best case scenario, socially damaged and awkward.
What I find strange about this notion of not accepting different portrayals is that characters have been portrayed insanely differently even within the Zelda series itself. Every character in Hyrule Warriors is almost nothing like their portrayals in other games. It sort of irks me that Techmo Koei can transform Impa into a juggernaut bruiser that completely goes against everything established of her and the Sheikah, but I make Princess Hilda visually look just a little more evil (she was canonically an antagonist before having a change of heart at the end of the game) and I've somehow committed a crime? It's a bit hypocritical and makes no sense.
