Project: Ocarina

Introduction

Project: Ocarina is a faithful re-creation of the places from the classic Zelda game, Ocarina of Time, in all their 64bit glory. But this is for the Oculus Rift!

Visit and explore the the most memorable places from this amazing game in a nostalgic walk through your past! See the world of Hyrule through Link's eyes.


Plans

This started with the Kokiri Forest demo, and now aims to grow. First up on the agenda is...

The Temple of Time




A beautifully crafted area. Home of the Master Sword. Eventual resting place of the 3 Spiritual Stones. Instantly memorable music.

Hyrule Field




Central hub of Hyrule. Large fields of trees and bushes. Runoff from Zora's River that forms a moat around Hyrule Market.

For non-area additions, next I aim to give the user a body. One that's fully animated to run, walk, jump, and crawl.


Downloads

TBA

For now you can play the original demo that spawned this project, Kokiri Forest. Available over on the following thread.

Looks cool. Are you doing all the 3D modeling yourself?

Is there any chance to see maps from Majoras Mask?

I love this, still one of my favorite games! Really love the work you put in the areas you've worked on, everything looks polished and has the same feel as the original game. I've also been working on a project like this (apparently I am not the only person that loves Ocarina of Time 😛 ), but my version feels far from perfect.

Will you put audio in this version? I believe the music and sound effects are really important in Zelda games. Anyway keep up the amazing work, I am a big fan.

Yes and no. I start from a RAM dump from a emulator and go from there. Different things require different amounts of work.

That hasn't been my plan. There's plenty to do with OoT! If there was enough demand for a place from that game though, I'd definitely consider it!

What type of audio? In Kokiri Forest I added some audio beyond just music. Waterfall, rolling boulder, and some to the bonus scenes.

I wanted to add footsteps and jumping type sounds, but without a avatar body, every way of going about it sounded kind of hacky. So for that stuff, I want to focus on getting a animated body first.

I also would like to revisit the Kokiri Forest night scene and add the wildlife sounds. I just wore myself out of sifting through the sound banks to be able to go back and find all the different ones.

I'd be pretty excited to see a temple, or maybe even inside the Deku tree. Falling through that web with the rift on? Terrifying. :lol:

Still, I'm really excited to see anything from this game, Kokiri Forest was such a pleasure, I can't wait to see more 😄

The Temple of Time is pretty much done. This past week I started work on the next area. I'll probably be announcing that on my twitter or blog sometime in the next week, once I have a bit more done with it.

I know I'm not posting much about it, but I definitely still am working on PJO. I'm taking a slower pace and not grinding as much as I did on the Kokiri Forest demo. I'm also mixing in working different things (that may or may not make it to release) in the project to keep things less tedious. I also started a new, small project recently. I'm so new with game development, I find it best to set things aside and focus on things just for learning experiences.

Here's a couple pics I've posted on my twitter I the past couple weeks, to tide people over. 😃

I'm having a blast being your guinea pig/beta tester for these. Let me know when you've got some new stuff for me. I LOVE the temple of time, especially the sounds.
