Thinking about making a story focused quest focused around mystery and Sc-fi elements. I want the dialog to be integral to the story but not intrusive and still bring in comedic heart, also not really into Fantasy and that kind of stuff, don't hate it, just rather focus on down to earth stuff. suggestions would be great ^-^

Do you have a tileset picked out or resources to add onto one? While sci-fi is cool, most tilesets don't have the resources to design that kind of world out of the box. Do you have any idea what kind of world this game would be set in aside from just something sci-fi? And will the gameplay be Zelda inspired or more of a visual novel / experience type deal?

 

Hi, I'm answering questions with more questions.

Well for the quest I'll figure out what tileset I'll use, I was going to go with either a classic style, or Gameboy style. The sci fi elements in the quest will be downplayed, similar to an Urban fantasy setting. It will be Zelda styled but with a unique twist. For the plot and character(s) it's still in the planning stages.

Your idea for a quest sounds refreshing!

 

Least I can say there's this Megaman tileset by Peteo that has a lot of urban/sci-fi elements: https://www.purezc.n...tilesets&id=47 

That might be a great base for your quest.

 

I also have UFO interior tiles laying around if you'd like to have those. They may actually be ripped from that Megaman tileset by Peteo, but I'm not sure (CastChaos ripped from somewhere). Here's what they look like: https://www.youtube....h?v=plxofe2laxs

 

I also think there will be plenty of assets on Spriters Resource that you could use.

 

 

Besides finding assets and all, making a quest can be quite complicated. Luckily there are plenty tutorials around: https://www.purezc.n...p?showforum=152

 

As for actually making the quest, perhaps now you should focus on getting a loose plan together and in the meantime learn how ZC works. If you jump into the deep immediately, it might get frustrating when things don't work out.

Edit: I'd like to add that people often start out by making a smaller, less ambitious (mini)quest. That's a good way to learn how ZC works :-)
