Ah yess. i mistakenly had a solid Tile there. I have gone through and fixed a few things, reduced enemy difficultly since its supposed to be level 1, and some other fine touches.
In the mean time check out this Bonus boss, I used Moosh's newbie boss script and a sprite i got from someone, but I think its pretty cool

I am not to sure about the cave up's and downs. though I think the cave down, is a walk down animation and the walk up, walks up. I must be wrong though cause i have noticed some of the odd ways entering and exiting can be in my quest.
I will look into that. thanks for letting me know. and the Dragon, I didn't notice that, so I will fix that too.
The difficulty is a tricky thing for me, cause I like a challenge in all games. I build it to my tastes naturally, at least to the best of my skill as of yet in ZQuest. But I do want a balanced difficulty that gets more challenging as you go along.
As much as I love the possibility of people playing and enjoying a game/quest I made is awesome! but in the end I don't want it to be to easy.
Just gave your demo a try. Do you know about cave up and cave down combos? The entrances to some of your caves seem a bit weird and these might help greatly. See my LoH:IE and see how Link enters dungeons/caves. There's also a big dragon statue at the start of the main dungeon that if you walk behind it should be set to layer 3 or 4. And yes, I couldn't get the sword because it was on a solid combo.As for difficulty, well I can speak from experience on this one. An unpaid quest maker has no true control over their own quest's difficulty. All unpaid quest makers will simply make what they see as a "masterpiece" difficulty. If people complain then they'll simply put in a cheap buff or nerf to suit everyone else - and that's if they are being generous.Unfortunately, cheap buffs or nerfs don't work and they feel very artificial and forced and are ultimately rejected by the target audience. To truly buff or nerf a quest for a taste other than your own is one of the hardest, most time-consuming and challenging parts of quest making. Further, why would an unpaid quest maker spend their precious time making another version when their version works perfectly and they can play and enjoy it as is?I can also tell you from experience that the vast majority of players enjoy easy difficulty. Best if you treat combat as something that's just for show and focus on puzzles and graphics because that's what they like.

Eh, James is overblowing the possibility of a negative outcome, I wouldn't worry about it and just do your thing. As long as your quest isn't unreasonably challenging (requiring mandatory damage, and relying on AI and luck, etc.) most people will be fine with it, especially if it's well designed maybe making it a highlight for the quest. Just look at Isle of Rebirth and a bunch of quests with NES Zelda difficulty for example. You seem to be wanting to create a balanced challenge, so I think it will accepted.
I haven't played your demo, but from the videos and screens you've shown, it looks to be an interesting quest. Neat little premise too, good luck with experimenting and the quest overall!

oh no. haha. yeah thats not right xD I dont even remember testing picking that rupie up either. i will be doing a lot more extensive test runs before the next demo in a week or so. And i dont think that the small bomb bag should hold up to 30 bombs... that seems like a bit much haha.
Thank you for ltesting my demo and letting me know.

Hi again
This idea i have is that it could be great to have a counter on the subscreen for the sword if it is get broken after 50 uses.
The idea is might little over the top...

LOL. (Inside joke: ZoriaRPG is quoting me there. The joke being that everyone sucks at fighting wizzrobes, so I'd finish his quest for him if he dies by adding 1000 wizzrobes to it. No one would even know it wasn't finished! )

Isle of Rebirth was rejected by some of the players who like easy difficulty - just see the comments and review section of the quest. Isle of Rebirth was clearly a challenge quest that put in a bunch of cheap nerfs to accomodate different audience tastes. This was found out and rejected. And it also excluded players who played on these lower difficulties from certain areas of the quest which caused a big uproar. But it did have puzzles and nice graphics which is why I think it was somewhat accepted.
(...)
There has never been one challenge quest that has won a large concensus acceptance by the vast majority of players as far as I know and I've played many challenge and want-to-be challenge quests.
Isle of Rebirth was, at one point, the highest rated quest in the database. People accepted it because it had good dungeon flow to go with the challenges, and it felt like an official Zelda game but harder.
