Hm, another question. Shouldn't the "Use Old-Style Warp Detection" rule be enabled? It's not listed as changeable nor as enabled, but it makes sense to be active, so...

I really kinda liked the overworld shifting idea but it may not be suitable for this contest. I guess it's down to what Gleeok says.

[Imzogelmo]

In mine, I added/removed/changed secret locations on the overworld, but the actual overworld is unchanged. I was wanting to make a whistle->secret that dried up some of the land (outside a fairy pond), but I felt like that would be too much deviation.

 

I feel like the contest is a balancing act between keeping it the same as the other quests vs. introducing new concepts.  The look of it should be very much the same, but it has new enemy requirements as well as the overall idea that you want to extend the previous quests. So, you don't want to break too sharply from 1st-4th (and even give a bit of a nod to them), but you also want to put a new spin on things. It's an incremental change, not a revolutionary one.

 

For authenticity, I took it to mean the tiles, level color schemes, overworld geography, and rules.

For challenge, I took it to mean that it should be somewhat harder than the 2nd quest. Harder is subject to a lot of interpretation, though.

For fun, I took it to mean that it's neither simple, repetitive, or uninspired. All of which are quite subjective too.

 

The rules themselves, are pretty straightforward. It's the judging that is open to prognostication.

Let the contest begin!

Today is the day. I'm so excited about this contest. I am dying from the anticipation, and it isn't even the technical deadline yet(for me anyway)! Well, good luck my fellow contestants, and may the triforce be with you all!

[Gleeok]

Okay guys, two minute warning. This is the last day to fix stuff!

Sometime tomorrow we will round up all the entries and lock submissions. If you have any problems you can feel free to send me a PM, otherwise you should have a thread with a dl-link, or a submission to purezc or AGN database, or some sort of magic spell that beams your quest directly into peoples brains.

[Gleeok]

Times up! (is an understatement)

You aren't going to believe this.. but we've got an unprecedented 19 5th Quest Submissions!!!

Wow..you guys are awesome. Congrats to everyone that finished, and good luck!

(now to start playing and sorting these out. hmm..)

[Cjc]

It's going to be quite a contest!

 

The competitors, in order of submission, as well as the link to the thread containing their quest discussion, can be found below.  All links lead to threads on AGN.  Dates refer to the date I logged the quest submission and might be later than the actual submission.

Sorry for all the links.  There are 19 contestants after all!

You are not required to play all quests during the judging.  The specifics of the judging process will be revealed at a later date, so for now just enjoy the bounty of quests.

Hey guys. There were so many quality quests this took a little longer than expected, but we've started up the initial round of scoring them. The idea is to narrow it down to the best-of-the-best, or top 5 or 6ish quests. From there people can sign-up to play through all the remaining finalists' quests and vote for who takes the gold. This seems to be the only fair way to go about it since the amount of content would otherwise be overwhelming. Plus, it drags the process out a little and adds some suspense to the mix, allows the top quests to get some extra spotlight and play-time, and you know, just overall good fun.

Thread is here: http://armageddongam...st-Voting-Time!

[Gleeok]

Just to let you guys know it's been six weeks now and the top six 5th quests will be up sometime this week! Will post a new thread at that time.

Sounds great! Thanks for telling us the news.
