Temple Maker 64 is the work of a solo dev who left his full-time software engineering job to make a Zelda-like level creation suite.

The short version

  • Temple Maker 64 is the work of a solo dev who left his full-time job to make it happen After Super Mario Maker , you'd think Nintendo would give its other retro franchises a similar DIY treatment.
  • Since the Japanese company hasn't, other game developers are filling the void instead.
  • So far, that's mostly meant 2D creation suites that allow players to craft The Legend of Zelda levels with a Super NES aesthetic.

What happened

But at least one developer is pushing the idea into the 3D era. Temple Maker 64 is the work of Akela-morse, a solo game developer who left his job a year and a half ago to focus on the idea full-time.

Why it matters

In an exchange with Polygon, the 27-year-old creative says that he got the idea after seeing titles like Quest Master , Super Dungeon Maker , and Super Dungeon Designer.
