THE OFFICIAL NALDRAG 24 27-HOUR QUEST CONTEST
Come one, come all to The Official Naldrag 24 27-Hour Quest Contest. As the title implies this is a contest where each contestant has a day to build a quest from scratch, with a few stipulations that'll potentially make development easier, or harder depending on circumstances. So now, what does this contest entail exactly? For starters any one who plans on entering has from now until the beginning of the contest to procure resources to be used in the contest be it graphics, scripts, or music... you can also procure more resources during your 24-hour period if you think of something last minute that you need, obviously though that could potentially cut into development time. Now the resource procurement phase only applies to already existing resources, any original resources you might want to create will have to be within the 24 27-hour period of development. During the procurement phase contestants should draft out an outline of the overall story and concept they have in mind. Number of Triforce pieces (or other important quest objects) dungeons, mini-dungeons, tileset used, midis used (volumes and loops can be set during the procurement period), emulated music, etc... it is also recommended for each contestant to list the resources they procured in this outline. A very basic template may also be made to use as a base for development to help save on development time, which would basically include a ruleset, a very basic dungeon room template and cave / item room setups. Subscreens can also be made and submitted to go along with the quest outline.
So, the next question is when is the contest? The Official Naldrag 24 27-Hour Quest Contest will be held over this weekend from Friday, February 24th @ 12:00AM EST ~ Monday, February 27th @ 12:00AM 3:00AM EST and will be working off of the honor system due to potential scheduling conflicts with each contestant and to ensure that more people will enter. As a means of upholding this when a contestant officially "starts" they are expected to post here with their outline and what not in this thread and afterwards and they'll have 24 hours after they submit their entries to me, which I will accept via DM either here on the forums or via Discord. You can find my Discord handle in my profile or you can contact me from the official PureZC server or ZC Land.
Lastly, as I also plan on entering this contest myself I will not be judging this contest. Instead judging will be done by the community as entries will be compiled in a post within a day after the contest and the voting period will be held for a week. As to not interrupt with the development/submission period users may provide screenshots and information to me via DM for use in The Official Naldrag 24 27-Hour Quest Contest Battlegrounds, and yes that is the name I have chosen for the voting period. All that said, the procurement period may begin... NOW!
If you have any questions on the contest you may post them below or in the #24-hour-quest-contest channel on the ZC Land Discord server. Also, posted below is an example outline for contestants for when they begin the contest.
