Project
CHILDREN OF SOLARUS (by the Solarus Team)
I think this project deserves its own topic where we, the Solarus Team, can post our progress and some screenshots, and anyone can post their comments and suggestions about it. The project "Children of Solarus", still not very known, is intended to become a 100% free (as in freedom) remake version of "Mystery of Solarus DX", which will improve its predecessor in many ways. Feedback is always welcome (testing, bug reports, translations, suggestions, etc).
This project, led by Christopho, was started millions of years ago (before the dinosaur extinction), and hopefully will be finished before the incoming apocalypse in 2023. Much progress has been done so far, including the hero sprites, 95% of the overworld tileset (still a bit experimental), some the first overworld maps (remapped recently by Chris), some NPCs and enemies, most part of of the music (composed by Eduardo Dueñas), most part of the sounds, new scripts, and much more.
This is a list of the new work that is planned to be finished for this year 2018: completion of the overworld mapping (at least the light overlworld for now, and maybe the dark overworld too), all remaining NPCs sprites, many more new enemies (art and scripts), the indoor houses tileset, the first dungeon tileset (with color variants for other dungeons), and hopefully much more (including more mapping).
News and screenshots will be posted in the Official Website:
