Hello everyone, I'm here to announce that yesterday concluded the Type B quest contest in the Z-Zone! For those unaware, this was a two week contest (+ a 4 day extension) where the theme was to make a quest in Type B style. This is, of course, up to the creator's interpretation, but you all have the opportunity to judge which quests accomplished this the best.
Entries
Making a Quest in 1.92 and Actually Finishing It (MaQi192aAFI) - Moosh [1.92+]
Note: This quest was, legitimately, made in 1.92. It should play fine in 2.5, but if you want to be safe, play it in 1.92.
Saint James Place - Joel [2.53+]
B Type - Anonymous (!) [2.53+]
Remnants of the Dark King - Haylee [2.55 latest build]
Spikes of Doom - Darkness 3576 [2.10+]
Note: This quest was volunteered into the contest by Mitsukara. The quest was not originally made for the contest, of course. It was made far too long ago for that.
Categories
Here, we have 4 categories for voting.
The first category is which quest embodies the Type B style of quest the most. A good heuristic is how much a quest embodies the gameplay of Liberation of Hyrule.
The second category is which quest would be most profitable, or which quest could potentially grant the best return on investment, should the creator figure out a monetization scheme. This may be selling the quest, or putting microtransactions in the quest, or some other manner. Of course, copyright would have to be contended with, unless the quest was monetized under the black market (although I do not officially condone this), or monetized in a way that circumvents copyright entirely (e.g. promoting creator merchandise within a quest).
The third category is which quest fits the creator's taste the most. This requires some interpretation, as the majority of you are not the creators of these quests, but an image can be built up at how much these quests match the creator's taste by comparing the works to their other works.
The fourth, and final, category is which quest appears to have made changes to fit popular appeal the most. For example, as noted by James24 previously, things such as easy modes generally go against a creator's taste in order to appeal to a wider audience, or putting more effort into graphics than necessary in order to appeal to more people even if the creator themselves does not mind how their quest looks.
Afterword
I am glad you made it to the end. The voting will close on August 29th (about a week and a few days from now), and a winner will be announced soon after.
Originally, I intended on entering, but unfortunately I got caught up in other things and decided against rushing together a demo. I would like to actually finish the quest at some point, however.
Thank you all for participating, and enjoy the quests!
