With two dead-line filled coding jobs keeping me busy 7 days a week and barely having done any coding besides this for 8 or 9 months, I’m ill prepared for this LD. Tired, no proper dev environment set up, blender\u00a0 isn’t compatible with any of my old stuff. So have to compromise a lot – most likely won’t have anything finished by the deadline.<\/p>\n

Also, I don’t like open themes like this. And this one is the worst I’ve ever seen – it’s basically as good as no theme at all – make any game and have an old man say “it’s dangerous to go along take blah” and it will perfectly fit the theme. So yeah. Having watched a play-through of the first 20 minutes or so of the original Zelda (shamefully have to admit I never saw the game before) I do have a vague idea though (“remake Zelda” :P). Any finally knowing about this game is one good thing I can take from this LD \":)\"<\/p>\n

So anyway, the plan is to fix up my C+Allegro framework to latest versions of everything and use it. And right now I’m writing a custom Blender export script from scratch, for Blender 2.5. Took me some time to figure out where to place the addon… so hopefully I can speed up a bit now. Here’s a screenshot of my progress so far:<\/p>\n
