Back to the start again

Well almost back to the start again. I wanted to make a 2D-movement but still it looks 3D but all i noticed is that it was just time consuming and nothing new at all. Some things don't work in 3D either as they do in 2D like the fact it looked like my character had no eyes. It just wasn't much fun and i think platforming is not a good genre for a pirates game like this.
So I changed the idea a little bit and want to make a zelda: ocarina of time like game instead. I have a test dungeon running which exist of just squared rooms which can be run through but no obstacle and only collission detection with the rooms

As for the story: it's about Joe Turner, whose father is a pirate called Timmy and his uncle Will and he will join him on a trip. However during the trip the ship get's attacked by a kraken(yes i watched pirates of the carribbean) and his father get's kidnapped. So together with his uncle he will try to find his father again.

I hope i will get something done the first place as starting all over again is a bit annoying. Even though i used tricks to speed up like giving my character no limbs à la Rayman, but even if i don't finish it in time i will continue working on it anyway.
