Hi! First of all let me say that I love this project in both concept and execution! Link’s Awakening is my favorite game and I’m so happy to see someone else with the same level of love I have for it.

I play LA a lot, and am making an indie game inspired by it (see my Twitter, not gonna post a foreign link on your forum lol).

When playing this, I noticed some gamefeel things are very different from the original, particularly movement and combat in some places, and I wanted to volunteer to bring those things more in line with the original game, if you would be interested in that. My own project has required researching the disassembly of the original game in BGB emulator, and comparing behavior frame by frame. With this effort I’ve been able to capture the gamefeel of LA very accurately.

Everything here is almost perfect, and I adore the Mario Maker visual style you’ve developed for this. If I could make my muscle memory for the original game seamlessly slot in, I think it would elevate this even higher.

And hey, even if you’re not interested in another contributor, I would nevertheless love to chat about LA with you. :)

Let me know what you think!

The developer released the game with the source code included (in source.7z) and then went radio silent, so I suspect they knew what was gonna happen and knew they may never get the chance to update the game beyond 1.0.0. Since they haven't said a word since release, though, we don't know for sure what their intent was with the stealth drop of the game or if they intend to come back and release updates or accept contributions.
