History:
I Started Legend Maker 8 years ago as a Zelda Maker fan game, with very little experience in game development. Zelda Maker was taken down by Nintendo, so I decided to do my own thing with it. It went through a lot of practice & iteration before coming to this point. I'm the only person working on this project.
Release Date:
I'm targeting to release Legend Maker at the tail end of 2024, if possible.
Legend Maker is a Zelda Like Maker game. The game still needs a lot of work, mainly in polishing up mechanics & UI. The full game will have steam workshop support for sharing levels & Texture mods.
