Okay, now here's the thing. (jman2050 is ... jman2050, and I'm ShadowTiger.)
[09:02] <ShadowTiger> Okay, .. .. we definitely need to get a good tileset up for NeoFirst.
[09:03] <ShadowTiger> I'm waiting for Gashin to present a Screenshot of his set.
[09:03] <ShadowTiger> .. Now, ..
[09:03] <ShadowTiger> You had wanted to see another DemoQuest tileset, right?
[09:03] <ShadowTiger> Somethimg more towards Z1 than Z3?
[09:03] <ShadowTiger> Or TMC?
[09:05] <jman2050> I'm not sure
[09:05] <jman2050> I don't want the tileset to be too prioritized
[09:05] <jman2050> it needs to be elegent but simple
[09:05] <jman2050> leaning towards Z1 is better for that purpose
[09:05] <ShadowTiger> But still with a few layers?
[09:06] <ShadowTiger> I was planning something elaborate and beautiful for the sake of the three dungeons, but, ... ...
[09:06] <ShadowTiger> If it's not to be, ... ... =/
[09:06] <jman2050> hey, I'm not running the show here
[09:06] <jman2050> I'm just supervising
[09:06] <jman2050>
[09:07] <ShadowTiger> Oy. XD ... Well, ... ... you probably know best. I mean,
[09:07] <ShadowTiger> NeoFirst should accomplish a few goals.
[09:07] <ShadowTiger> I mean, .. look at it this way.
[09:07] <ShadowTiger> There are -VERY- few quests which allow the common person to look inside of it, AND be a complex quest,
[09:07] <ShadowTiger> AND Show how everything is done, AND be included in every release of ZC.
[09:08] <ShadowTiger> -I- learned how to use ZC by parasitising an unpassworded quest.
[09:08] <ShadowTiger> Since things were more or less set up already, I just modified what was there, and when I needed to know how to do something,
[09:08] <ShadowTiger> I just looked at a preset example.
[09:08] <ShadowTiger> Worked like a charm. > >.' I was questmaking in no time at all.
[09:08] <ShadowTiger> If there's a quest which does all of this and more, and is easily accessible to the masses, unpassworded, features everything and anything they should know,
[09:09] <ShadowTiger> and thensome, ... Possibly even explaining the situation beforehand via some sort of "Intro" to the quest,
[09:09] <ShadowTiger> .. there will be a lot more experienced newcomers entering the ZC Field,
[09:09] <ShadowTiger> should they play the quest if released with it.
Okay, now this is something we should be asking ShadowBlazer from AGN about. I personally think that there is enough here to warrant a Subforum in the major ZC Discussion / Beta area for the creation of NeoFirst. We'll be comparing a -LOT- of notes, and it's not something that we can do via PM, nor by placing poll upon poll upon poll upon poll upon poll and topic upon topic upon topic in the Beta Discussion forum at AGN or here at PureZC. (PureZC has no Beta forums, BTW.) I -would- be willing to use my Hosted Quest Forum at PureZC for it, but that's not fair to the members at AGN who don't go to PureZC.
... Thoughts? I want to PM ShadowBlazer, Eckels, or War Lord, (All Administrators of AGN.)but I'm not sure when slash if they're ever on. (I hate disturbing Administrators.) ... ... Maybe DN. O.o' He's an Administrator, and directly involved with ZC in some little way here or there, (Kidding, lol.)
Thoughts?
Things I still need to do:
- Update the list in the first post.
- Get some Screenshots from Gashin/*b* as to the tileset.
- Decide on a tileset, based on the above IRC conversation, as well as your input.
- See whether or not C's ideas would be useful for the dungeons. I'll bet we could work one of them into the second of the three dungeons, as that's what it's pretty much reserved for. (It's the "Gimmick" Dungeon, with the first being the standard difficult keyquest/map/compass/find-the-special-item/boss key/triforce dungeon.)
