Information
This is a one-month long quest contest, and exposition for the Winter of 2015/2016. Prizes include a one-way trip to Jupiter's moon, Io, where you can see the large black Monolith, an assortment of 50,000 Lira that are moth eaten, and a hover-conversion kit made by Goldie Wilson III.
Hosts
ZoriaRPG, and others to be added.
Time Schedule
This event begins on 1st, January, 2016, and all quests must be submitted by 10th February, 2016.
Start Date: Quest development (other than graphical dev, such as sprite/tile/combo design and importing; and script development) bust be started no sooner than 1st January, 2016.
Due Date: Quests must be completed, and submitted by 10th February, 2016. Why the extra days? Well, New Years Day and the day following are usually nights that many of us will be busy doing one of two things. (Drinking, and curing hangovers.) + Extra days for PZC downtime.
Voting Starts: On 14th February, 2016, we will open a public voting poll. Voting will be permitted until 15th March, 2016, at which point all results will be made public, and we will determine the winners.
Theme of The Expo
Entries must include, be based on, or be set in the world of any video game franchise (including multiple franchises) that you desire. (A pure Zelda setting, from multiple Zelda games, does not count).
The quest must therefore, include at least one video game franchise other than Zelda, such as Metroid, Mario, Ninja Gaiden, Pac-Man, Final Fantasy, ... whatever you wish. You may include multiple crossovers, and you may (of course) have Zelda characters, and a Zelda setting, but you must include at least some crossover material.
For the purposes of franchise differentiation, the 'Tingle' series games do not count as Zelda games, and you may select this as your theme.
Anime crossovers are also permitted.
Some good examples of crossover themes are:
- The Amy Rose series (by Eddy)
- The Doctor Wiley and Ballad games (by CastChaos)
- Link Stuck in Castlevania (by Alucard)
- Dragon Quest Adventures (by Umbrello)
- Attack of the Sprites (by Xenomicx)
- Asshole.qst - the Castlequest clone (by Geoffrey)
- Ice Climber (by Geoffrey)
Rules/Guidelines
- The quest must be made with ZQ 2.50.0, 2.50.1, or 2.50.2. Quests made in, or requiring an RC, or other Beta/Gamma release will be rejected.
- You may receive feedback from others if you so desire while making the quest.
- Any tileset, tile, script, and piece of music that is available in the database may be used.
- You may create your own tilesets, tiles, scripts, and music to use in your quest.
- Do not start working on your quest until 1st January, 2015. If not, people will view it as unfair.
- You may work on importing graphics, making combos, and doing testing for scripts before the start date.
- All entries must match the contest theme.

Bolded names have submitted a quest. Strikethrough have withdrawn. If a name is italicised, then their intent to participate is unclear.
How to Submit Your Quest
Post your intent for participation in this thread. We will add your entry directly, and you should send it to one of the hosts as a PM.
- Editing Procedures: If you need to edit your submission post, either contact a host.
Finally, all submission topics are due when the quest development period finishes (10th February, 2015 at 12:00 A.M. PDT). We will probably be somewhat loose on this, however, as we understand that creating the topic is pretty much last minute in most cases.
Thank you for your participation, and good luck in the polls!
