    As I'am new to Nintendo with my Wii U. I'am craving for a Zelda title in HD, alternatively Ocean horn lives up to my craving, should it come out before Wind Waker this fall.

    This game is like an April fools joke. Ill wait for release but don't believe that will ever happen. Seems like years have past already. I can't see how anyone can be excited for something that is years in the waiting. Ill be excited if and when this game actually is in my hands but until then it doesn't exist for me.

    Sometimes somethings that are ambitious take time to complete. That's where I am with this right now. It's coming!!

    Don't be ridiculous. Course it will happen just some games take a long time to develop. We're not talking about another endless runner or that. This should be epic but give them time

    If it came out soon full of bugs people would moan. The poor devs can't win. If it doesn't come out this year i'll get you a $15 itunes voucher you, if it does come out you can get me one ?

    I'm excited as I love seeing the early graphics and see it get built up. Bit like seeing a film in production and seeing snippets. But let's not be spoilt and moan we want it now now now. It'll come. Just be patient

    This game looks nifty, and I can definitely see how production could take a while - especially when you include factors like length, maps, items, and so on. Yeah, it's been a while, but as it's been said I'd much rather a well done game that takes ages than a quickly produced one full of bugs and errors.

    What I do with unreleased games that I want is subscribe to the thread, then check every so often to see what's up. (Just be sure you turn email alerts off, because otherwise your inbox can get full fast.) Plus, as it gets closer, it'll often be mentioned in the "upcoming games" sticky in General Discussion. I tend to forget about them when they go unmentioned; I have so many games to try & play. :)

    Nice, frontpage post :D

    I like what I saw. Top-screen LttP view when walking, and great WW feel when sailing. Game looks great, I must hold a stable amount of courage, haven't played WW in years, but I remember that sailing was the most unnerving thing for me, especially on rainy days... yeah, I'll stop talking.

    Hoping if there's some type of replay value so this can earn a permanent spot on my phone :)

    Looks great so far, although something in the trailer makes me assume bad things:

    Please, Please, NO premium currency. I'm fully OK with the game costing 5 or 6 (heck, even 10) bucks at release, but at no price am I accepting a buyable currency. So far, it looks like you earn both coins and gems at a steady pace, just by killing enemies and exploring your surrounding.
    But is there even a reason for two currencies?
    Right now, it seems as if you arbitrarily tried to force another currency on top of a perfectly fine coin-system, just for the sake of it. If the second currency is however necessary for gameplay reasons, please ignore my ranting. Im just afraid you might be headed for the slippery freemium-slope.

    On another, less monetary note, your protagonist seems a bit slow and stiff when wandering his surroundings. Are there plans for adding a more 'Link-esque' movement? Like rolling? I understand that it might be difficult to use the A-Button while walking, since it's already reserved for the sword. But I'm sure you'd be able to come up with a simple way to run or roll around.

    Sorry for the ranting above and best of luck for the future of 'Oceanhorn'!

    Don't worry - no Freemium, no inapp purchase in Oceanhorn. It's purely premium one-time payment -> Full Adventure

    About the movement: Yes, there are additional movements to be unlocked with shoes, e.g. to roll. More info on that will follow later :)

    @Everyone: Thank you for the nice comments and funny GIFs - so happy to hear you all like the video!
