News was light for Zelda fans at the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase today, but one title from Square Enix in particular stood out. The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is an HD-2D action RPG made from the team behind the critically acclaimed Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default games. This charming adventure stars the traveling hero Elliot and his companion fairy Faie as they venture…

Also just shillin this game a bit, a Zelda-like called Horn Of Balance, if you loved Zelda Link to the Past, this game takes a lot of cues and inspiration from it. They recently launched a Kickstarter for it, only got 10 days left and still got a fair bit to go, really deserves some more love, they certainly put a lot of love into this, and hope it meets the goal.

Give this a try and share around, folks!

Lenna’s Inception

After a long development cycle, Lenna’s Inception has finally been released!

One of my earliest posts on this blog was about an early, in-development version of the game, so I’ve had my eye on it for a while.

The basic concept is that it’s a Legend of Zelda style exploration game, but the entire progression is procedurally generated. You won’t know what the map looks like, what the dungeons are, or even where the nearby shop is until you explore the map yourself.

There’s a toggle in the options menu that lets you watch the generator at work, which of course is one of my favorite features.

There’s an obvious comparison with speedrunning randomizers, but with a game that was built from the ground up to be generative. Which means that it can do a bunch of tricks that require full control over the game design, like the rather elaborate map generation that carefully gates your access based on what items you have acquired. It’s not chaotically random, either: the second half of the map is gated by one of your quests, so even though the map is different every playthrough, there’s a logical structure behind the generation.
