I finally got everything for this Quest Project (QP) set up! (Nice new feature on the site, BTW. I like!) The screenshots were the last thing to set up.

I posted in the Quest Project Discussion forum topic a few days ago. I'll only post there if I have replies there. From now on, I'll be posting updates on the feed here.

Quick Update:

The basic design of the Monster Village is done, complete with NPCs, but you can't talk to any of them yet. I'll be doing Giggidy's cave first and finishing the sidequest, then adding the other NPC talk screens afterward. Progress is progress!

The enhanced classic graphics.. man theyre really cool looking. I am still looking forward to your quest and it looks so fun!

I see progress is coming along nicely.
How is the overall progress on the quest right now? About when can we expect the finished game?

Also, if you quest genre is a mix of NES-Style and Story-Driven don't choose Other, but Story-Driven or NES-Style instead (whater is better suiting for you) (because "other" sounds too boring for this quest)

Thanks!

Overall progress? ... Oops. Sorry about that. I had been hoping there was a special place in the project feed somewhere for completion percentage, so I forgot to add it here. (However, I keep my signature updated, so you can always check there first for the most updated info.) Since you asked, here it is:

Current completion percentage: 84.3%

When will it be finished? ... Well, I'm not very good at estimating time. I'd have never guessed it would take me over a year to finish, but I started my QPF thread in May of 2011 when it was (estimated) at 75%. Then again, that was before I overhauled the graphics ('cause I hadn't learned to use the tile editor at that point), and level 8 alone took 9 months because of a ton of custom graphics. From here on out, there's a couple of areas that need custom graphics (though not as much as level 8, luckily).
... Then again, the 75% estimate couldn't have been accurate because I didn't have everything planned out, neither did I think I would be adding as much content as I have. Recalculating, ... it was actually at 53.4% at that time. Now, mathematically calculating the time it took from then 'til now and how much percentage is left to finish, it comes out to a little over a year left (12.1 months), with an error margin of about half a month.
... That being said, I'm hoping to finish it in a quicker time! Don't think that's set in stone; it's just a mathematical estimate I can provide so as not to be misleading. I'll do my best to finish it in half the time, or less.

About the genre, good point. Thanks for the advice.
After thinking about it and looking through the quest project list, I decided to change it to "Story-driven" because I don't think the other one captures the essence of my quest. Thanks for helping me decide!
