Here's an interview with game developer Seth Fulkerson, better known in the scene as Dopply. Seth is the dev who completely remastered both of the notorious Philips CDi Zelda games for PC and made them actually playable! His next project is a game meant to be a "spiritual successor" to those two, called Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore; There's no official release date for the game, but it's nearing completion and I wanted to chat with Dopply about it!
