I chose plot making. I'm fairly imaginative, so my storyline is to be great, exept that I use ZC so little that it's barely advancing at all.

For example, all I've done since the fall expo is add a few screens to the overworld. I think i'll go work on it now.

No, you can't make an animated arrow, with a different animation in each direction. I've tried, and I'm fairly sure of this. If I'm wrong, though, and you figure out how, and show me, I'll, uh... give you a nut! A salted nut!  Wait, no, I don't think Gmail lets you upload that type of file...

Make the arrow one shape. A sphere or a square; even all-around. Then it looks right.

My skill, dunno. Everything is well-balanced now.

I actually say tricks. I'm fairly imaginative, and come up with different ideas. I actually just usually have a hard time constructed them to how I like and how it's really easily functional due to ZQ's limits.

I would have to say my ZQ skill is plot making. I want to be an Author when I decide to quit my computer job. Anyway story writting is my thing. I decided to maybe find a program that would allow me to make my own video games. And I found ZQ. Now I can do two things I love, write "stories" and write "video games" ha ha ha.

I chose "other" because I suck at all of the above. Ripping tiles would probably be what I'm best at. :-\

[Beefster]

Tricks! I've planned that I will have four secret dungeons, three of which wil be near each other. I've also got to dedicate 4 maps to overworld. My overworld is kinda like the OoT ooverworld.

Gashin & Radien: I agree you guys are great with tiles. For me they are my one weakness.

Raiden: Heh I agree with the Making ZQ Crash part. I do that ALL the time. (Gets really frustrating. )

lord_jamitossi & Nate: I too try to make good plots but I usually try to make them as a go. It is fun untill you run into a whole.

Just noticed this earlier post...

Well, there is technically a way to do it, but only if you hold it in high priority. I'm talking about combo-cycling the CSet your arrow uses. However, this would require:

1. a whole CSet set aside for combo cycling, and
2. use of that combo cycle on every Level palette in the game.

Unless you can spare a CSet between 0 and 7, and you don't need combo cycling for anything else, it probably won't quite be worthwhile.

Linkman90:

Keep at it! If I hadn't started tile-editing by necessity, I wouldn't be doing it now... and I quite enjoy it, lately.

[SwordOfSeals]

I'd say animation, but I haven't worked on ZQuest, let alone my quest in some time. I might be getting rusty.

[ShadowTiger]

I'm not quite sure what I do, really.

I tend to make quests filled with quality over quantity, to which the ratio is quite slanted toward quality. It has almost no quantity in comparison. But still, the stuff is there.

I tend to spend about 3/5 of my time in the tiles screen alone, doing tilework. I find slapping down combos and such far too annoying/tedius to take seriously. Making Dmaps and other technical details I don't mind though. It's just that actually putting down combos, takes SO LONG.


So I'll say Details, Tiles, and Imagination are my specialties. In that order. I'm also okay with ripping, .. in that "upper class"y type connection.

[Highsight]

SwordOfSeals: Ya I am pretty good at animating things but it depends on what I am animating. (Sprites, Items etc...)

BH4: I think that you do a great job with details too. It might take a while but it is worth it to make your quests look good.

[venom343]

im probably best at making tiles in zquest.i also like to make stories and stuff to though

[Beefster]

The best sprite I have ever made was my nayru's love diamond, which isn't that great anyway. I still think I'm better at tricks.

[Hero_of_Hyrule]

I'd consider myself to be best at dungeon layouts, and then at adding details. I'm getting pretty good at doing tricks as well, but I still have a hard time making good puzzles.

[Shoelace]

Well, I suck at tiles and details, however, I think my dungeon layouts, puzzles, and tricks are good. Well, actually I am not sure yet. But I guess we will see when my game is released, to see what everyone says. But I think I am good at dungeon layouts.
