As we chug along through the summer months, the Monthly Feature continues to showcase what our community has to offer!

A Thank You and Farewell...

Haylee recently announced that she will be resigning from her role as Quest Club Host, with Russ taking the stand in her place.

Many thanks for Haylee's efforts in pushing Quest Club through the many months, voice calls, and quests that led many to re-experience and enjoy community creations across the years!

With Russ taking control of the Quest Club ship, expect things to run as smoothly as before. Hopefully, there'll be many more quests highlighted to give everyone even more opportunities to mingle and have fun in our monthly Discord voice calls!

A Gameboy Buffet!

Chromatech01 brings PureZC a smorgasbord of tiles in the style of Gameboy Colour!

Following the rules expected of GBC tile-work, this set features a wide array of different atmospheric additions including mushroom and flower trees, tree mountains, and a forest floor!

Even though there wasn't much to cover this month, there is always the next month to look forward to! Thanks again to Haylee for her hard work, and we wish her the best in whatever comes next!

Compared to April, May was a calm month. Not too much happened, but that's alright! Let's go through the few things that did excite us...

Two Week Contest Results!

Everyone had the time to play through the contest quests and share their thoughts, and the judges have come together to reveal their favourites!

In first place we have: Deedee's Smol Quest, by Deedee!

Winning with a near perfect score of 46/50, this quest proved to be a hit! Especially due to its attention to detail and polish, we'd recommend you give it a go yourself if you haven't already!

In second place we have Link's Quest for the Hookshot Zero, by Moosh!

Second place by a single point, this quest offers more of a comedic experience - but it is packed with good content! Do give this one a try too, if you haven't!

In third place we have Nestastic - The Witches' Curse, by Mani Kanina!

Short, sweet, and you get to play as a bunny! What else do you need?

For more details on the judge's thoughts, do check out the forum thread!

...Besides the judge panel results, the community also got together to vote on three different categories:

The winner for Best Use of Contest Time is Link's Quest for the Hookshot Zero, by Moosh!

The winner for Most Needed for an Expansion / Full Version is Sideview Sunday, by coolgamer012345!

The winner for Overall Favourite is Link's Quest for the Hookshot Zero, by Moosh!

A Nostalgia Adventure...

Quest Club brings forth yet another quest: Golvellius la Quete du Second by wonderboy.bobi!

With 99% original graphics, and inspired by Golvellius itself, this quest offers a classic experience filled with rich exploration and a strong sense of nostalgia!

If you want to check this unique quest out, do feel free to share your thoughts or participate in the Quest Club discord calls!

That concludes May! A decent month for content, although we saw no new quests be uploaded to the database. Still, we got a whole bunch of quests - some still in development - because of the contest, so we can't really complain... can we?

A lot - and I mean a lot - happened in April! With such a large selection of things to go through, let's do it one step at a time...

PCGamer Presents ZQuest Classic!

Justin Wagner from PCGamer recently took the time to highlight ZQuest Classic, with Emily, Connor Clark, and Eddy all providing insight into their ZQuest adventures and experiences!

If you'd like to have a read through the article, then we highly recommend you show your support and give it a read!

If you are an avid PCGamer reader, and have visited us because of the article - welcome! We'd like to ensure you don't feel too overwhelmed by the engine and our community - we are reasonably large for a niche community - so one of our best have compiled a shortlist of things you can do to fit right in...

Thanks again to Justin and PCGamer, and here's to many more years of quest creation!

Time's All Up for the Two Week Contest!

With us announcing the return of the Two Week Contest a few weeks ago, we have finally reached the end of development time!

Thanks to a one week extension, the 9th of May was your final opportunity to touch up and finalize your entries, and now begins the process of playing and rating them!

We saw a lot of creativity throughout these three weeks, and so we wanted to thank every member that took this opportunity to make something - even if you didn't finish it in time!

We look forward to showing you the results soon, and we hope for even more creativity in future contests!

Two New Quests!

Bagel Meister brings their 64 Contest entry onto the database, Nita Gaiden!

Serving as a sequel / spin-off to their 2023 quest Twin Traditions, play as Nita as they defend the chain of islands they live on in this twin-stick bullet hell adventure!



Blackpaintbowser releases their highly anticipated quest, Metdroid Planet XX-32!

A massive metroidvania, find yourself - a robot - awakened into a world with no knowledge of anything about it. With over 180 unique enemies, and over 200 items to collect, explore the world and challenge yourself through these sprawling areas!



A Quick Stop to the Shop...

Quest Club brings forth Stellar Seas by Russ and Moosh!

With a strong emphasis on a good story and exploration, find yourself delving into an adventure with three playable characters, a dynamically changing time of day, many sprawling dungeons, all set within a Polynesia-inspired game world!

Do you have what it takes to explore these several islands and take down the sinister smuggling operation?

With March done and dusted, let's go through all that it had to offer!

Announcing PureZC's 2026 Two Week Contest!

We are proud to announce the return of the Two Week Contest! Running from the 18th of April to the 2nd of May, anyone is able to submit their creations!

We hope this will inspire both new and veteran questmakers to take the opportunity to challenge themselves in making *something* - no matter how big or how complex!

As Mani Kanina put it in the Contest's announcement thread, 'the sky's the limit, so it's up to you to accurately determine how high you can reach in just two weeks'!

Juventia Expands!

If you haven't noticed before, anarkhya has been submitting a variety of tiles to the database. Ranging from items to enemies, the Juventia catalogue has been slowly expanding in size!

Most recently, anarkhya has submitted 'Juventia - Overworld Tiles', expanding the set to let questmakers reimagine how they want their quests to appear! Featured simplified mountain tiles from BSZ, as well as some decorative variations, there's a whole assortment of tiles to mess around with - so get to it!



In Memoriam...

Quest Club is back with another quest to check out: 'The Hero's Memory' by Aevin!

Being Aevin's debut quest, explore a strange island with monsters all around as a voice echoes deep into an amnesiac boy's mind... asking him to seek answers in 'the Temples'.

Featuring nine dungeons and four mini-dungeons, set out on a quest to find these answers once and for all! Discuss in the forum topic here, or join the discord and talk about it in the thread there or join the weekly voice calls!

March had a lot to give, but I expect April to have even more! If you want to see what April will have (or has already had!) in store, do be sure to check back again in a few weeks time See you then!

February went fast with just a few things to cover... So let's get to it!

Dazzle Players with New Scripts!

Moosh has done it again, and has delivered multiple fantastic scripts to be used by quest creators!

Moosh's Mooshop takes the standard concept of a shop and gives creators several knobs to twist, ranging from bottle support, up to 32 items per shop FFCs, timed restocking of items, and items that only become available based on certain conditions!

Always wanted a password screen to spruce up your quest? Well, Moosh has you covered there too, with Password Menu!

Last, but certainly not least; have you ever wanted a more customizeable sword? With Moosh's "Simple" Custom Sword, you can have a 180 degree sword like LttP, a big sword like LttP, a sparkle around your spin attack, and more!

A Gift for Someone Special!

Quest Club returns very briefly with a mini-quest: The Necklace of Adrian by Joelmacool! Being almost an hour long, this quest provides a bite-size experience rich of lore and adventure!

Play as Myron, hoping to amend things with his wife, and share your thoughts in the accommodating Quest Club thread (also on Discord), or join the weekly Quest Club Discord calls too!
