RetroPlusAssetPack - Zelda Hyrule Inspired Textures

Retro+ Asset Pack

Modern makeovers of your favorite 16-bit retro games — built for Hytale.

This File Must be unzipped in order to operate properly. I worked on getting it to work zipped for hours and hours, there's just too much not lining up with the asset validations. I worked to correct them and I didn't have any errors on world load but nothing worked. Trigger volumes went phantom and doors just wont open. 

Newest Features:
-Fully implemented Creative menu
-Fully functional Crafting Station with all items. 
-Fully implemented Rupee Currency System
-Added Hyrule Overworld Map with completely custom assets
-Completed Hyrule Castle Dungeon with completely custom assets

What is Retro+?

Retro+ takes the heart and soul of classic 16-bit games and gives them a high-quality modern treatment. The shapes, colors, and feel are instantly recognizable to anyone who played the originals — but with crisp textures, better lighting, and the polish of today’s standards.

This is a pack designed for Map making but I'm doing my best to keep everything accessable in vanilla. Let me know if you have any ideas for handling this level of additional assets. 

Current Focus: Zelda-style RPG Assets - And its proving to be a very big project in itself. May end up being just a Zelda Asset Pack. 

Build a bridge to Hyrule - You now have the ability to travel through a tunnel to Hyrule as it was before Link moved to town. There are no buildings just Zelda inspired landscape to build your own Hyrule! Costs 100 Rupees

Create a Portal to the Actual Overworld- If the portal is not in the workbench its in the creative menu within portals tab. It really doesnt need to cost anything as you dont get anything from it unless you run a dungeon. (Though you could go in a raid the assets, LOL).

Hyrule Castle Dungeon- While in the overworld, navagate to Hyrule castle and simply walk into the door. There isnt a direct portal to the Dungeon, you must go through the overworld to get there, or use commands. /instance spawn Zelda_Hyrule_Act_01.

I've already added the ability to transfer vanilla items into Rupees but to take it one step further I am introducing mobs that drop hearts and rupees. Hearts work similar to food and will give you a little life back. 

Green, Blue and Red Knights will show up in random areas throughout Zone1 Plains. 

There was a complaint about the Knight just kinda standing there, I neglected to mention that it was my first time making an NPC and it was somewhat of a prototype. Now these Knights are pretty aggressive. but if youre well armored they are pretty easy to deal with. 

BTW: I Recommend going into the dungeon with no armor or weapons for the full experience. If you go in with weapons that are better than the fighters sword or any armor at all really, its going to make the dungeon pretty easy. I do recommend giving it a try with no gear for the extra challange.

And of course you cannot beat up those bad guys without your ancestrial Sword and Shield. Purchase each for 50 rupees. I've also added a mirror shield design, basically just a recolored version of the Basic Shield, On is not better than the other however, because they are both unbreakable OP shields. 

Coming Next: Lets make some dungeons... 

Current Content – Zelda-Style RPG Theme

A rich collection of blocks, slabs, stairs, carpets, plaster walls, doors, windows, and more inspired by classic 16-bit RPG worlds.

Highlights include:

• Hylian-style bricks, stones, and tiles in multiple variants
• Detailed plaster and floor edging for authentic building
• Functional Link’s Workbench with custom crafting categories (Possibly Leaving Soon)
• Nature elements, cliffs, paths, and decorative pieces
• Walls that work like stairs so build themselves when turning
• And so much more. I couldnt take pictures of everything but there are some really cool QOL items added that I think many of you will enjoy.

Future Themes (Roadmap) 
I’m actively expanding Retro+ with more retro franchises. Possible nexts:

• Super Metroid - Mechanical Blocks, ?
• Castlevania – Gothic castle stones, haunted manor details, and classic horror elements
• Sonic the Hedgehog – Loop rings, checkered zones, and speedy platformer style
• More retro titles based on community feedback (NES, SNES, SEGA, etc.)
