You may have heard about it before. You may have played something created as a result of it even. And now it's here again. What is it? It's the two-week quest contest!

 

What is it?

 

Exactly what it says on the tin. Participants have two weeks to create a custom quest. Then, the public decides the winner in a poll after playing the entries.

 

When is it?

 

It will run from July 15th to July 29th.

 

Who's hosting it?

 

Me (Russ) and Peteandwally.

 

What are the rules?

 

- The quest must be made in ZC 2.5

- Any tileset may be used

- Scripting is allowed

- While you can start drawing/collecting graphics, planning things on paper, or stuff like that, please don't actually start working on the quest in ZQuest until July 15th.

- And that's about it. :P

 

How do I participate?

 

Just post here saying that you're interested in participating. Then, when the 15th roles around, start working.

 

Who's participating?

 

As of now, the official list is as follows:

 

- Russ

- Theryan

- Strike

- Sepulcher

- Jared

- Brian

- Soga and Jay C.

- Shane

- Scootaloo

- Anthus

- L L L L L LINK

- Goriya

- Avataro

- Hergiswi

- Rambly

- Coolgamer012345

- SpacemanDan

- Mr. Z

- Tingle

- DCEnygma

- Bagelmaster1

- dcsyxx

- TeamUDF

- LordVolcanon

- Moosh

- Gleeok

- a30502355

 

 

Any tips?

 

- Plan ahead. You have almost a month to prepare yourself for this, so use your time wisely. Don't charge in blind.

- Think small. Don't overwhelm yourself with something you won't be able to finish in two weeks.

- Have fun! Don't get too stressed out over this.

 

How do I submit my finished quest

 

Simple upload it to the Quest Database, with the following title format: "*Quest name* (2 Weeks)". For example, if I were submitting a quest called "My Awesome Quest", I would upload it as "My Awesome Quest (2 Weeks)". All the entries will then be added to the database the morning of Monday, July 29. Make sure your quest has been submitted my 11:59 EDT on Sunday, July 28, to guarantee that it will be uploaded with the other entries.

 

Where can I view the entries?

 

Right here.

 

And where can I see the results?

 

Right over here.

 

What do you mean 2013 Summer Two-Week Quest Contest? It's Winter here in Australia!

 

I'm very sorry to hear that. Enjoy the snow and go complain to a kangaroo.
 

So what are you waiting for? It'll be fun! Sign up now!

I may enter this time around, depending on if I can find the time.

 

Quick question: Are joint quests allowed?

Well that works out pretty well then. Good luck!

Quick question: Are joint quests allowed?

Yup. They'll probably be harder to do, since all the communicating and stuff is time-consuming, but if you can do a joint quest in two weeks, more power to ya.

 

So excited!!! I'll definitely be thinking about what to do! Russ, Pete, Thank you boh so much for hosting this! Excited.

-Strike

No problem. Good luck!

 

Are pre-existing scripts allowed?

Yup. Scripts are being treated like, say, loose tiles. You can make your own, or you can use some already out there. Doesn't matter either way.

Okie doke. Good luck!

Have fun planning, and good luck!

Alrighty. I might play around with 2.5 a bit before the contest starts before you know what you're getting into. Good luck!\

 

Wow, I don't think I've ever quoted seven people in a single post before...

Honestly, I don't think group quests would be good since I think it would be unfair.  Sure, planning group quests can be time consuming, but you're giving people almost a month to straighten that stuff out.  Then when the competition starts, if there are multiple people working on a quest, then they can each work on it when the other person is sleeping or away.

Okay, you do have a point there. I guess I'll talk to peteandwally about it.
