Monthly feature, anyone? We've now arrived in September, so it's time to look back at the month of August!

Database Updates!

No new quests again this month, but there are two new submissions to the database! Juventia - Bestiary (Overworld) is the third set of loose tiles in anarkhya's Juventia series, with redrawn and refreshed versions of the original Zelda enemies you know and love! Meanwhile, [2.55] Oracle Minecarts is a revised version of Moosh's original script for ZC 2.55!

The 2024 Fall Expo Arrives Soon!

If you didn't know, the Fall Expo is still looking for entries! The submission deadline is the 21st of September, so if you're looking to give an update for - or reveal - anything you've been working on, now's the time to do it!

With each roll comes a new quest to play and discuss! If you're looking for a quest to play with the community, then look no further - Quest Club has you covered.

This time, we have the luxury of playing Depths of Malice by Russ. Check it out, and head over to the current Quest Club thread to share your thoughts!



Contest Winners!

Now, we take another look at the contest results!

Congratulations to...

- Sheik, victor of Screenshot of the Week 818,
- Twilight Knight, victor of Screenshot of the Week 819,
- Jenny, victor of Screenshot of the Week 820,

And that is it for this month! As always, if you have anything to showcase, be sure to submit to the database. See you again next month!

August is upon us, and so is another Monthly Feature!

No new quests to highlight this month, but it is worth noting that the Fall Expo is around the corner - and it's the perfect opportunity to show off whatever projects you've been working on! Perhaps some projects will be revealed then? Don't forget that you have until September 21 to submit - all the information you need can be found here.

Mani Kanina is also hosting a contest for her upcoming Vintage Dreams 2 tileset! More details can be found here - you have until August 25 to get a quest together for it!

Quest Club continues, with Bikdip's Adventure 2: Electric Boogaloo by Jish being the current quest in the spotlight! Check it out, and head over to the current Quest Club forum thread to share your thoughts!



Despite the lack of new quests, there are still new database submissions though! First is Moosh's Chain Chomp script, a recreation of the classic Mario enemies as found in A Link to the Past.

There have been several loose tile submissions too, and they're by newcomers!

Anarkhya's Juventia tiles are refreshed versions of original ZC assets! Juventia - Items & Hud revises the HUD and item sprites, while Juventia - Unused Items are new iterations of stock ZC icons such as scrolls, letters and medallions.

Meanwhile, Iustinus Tempus' GBC Minish Collection is exactly what it says - Minish Cap NPCs, sprites, items and Kinstones made for use in any Gameboy tilesets!

Finally, contest results! A slower month for contests, but congratulations to:
- Shane, winner of Screenshot of the Week 817,
- Matthew, winner of Screenshot of the Month 201!

And on that note, that's the Monthly Feature done and dusted! Not a lot to highlight in terms of new quests, but as always if you have anything you want to showcase, make sure you submit to the database. See you next time!

With June now complete, here's the next Monthly Feature!

Any New Quests?

First in store for us is Jambu's first ever published quest: "Infinite Quest"!



Made in an effort to learn and get used to the ZQuest Classic editor, Jambu provides a story about the capture of Princess Ruto by the formidable Ganon - no longer able to rely on the 'power of the hero', you must seek the 'power of infinite' to overcome this challenge!

Quest Club Returns...

In case you've missed it, it's worth mentioning that Quest Club has come back after a short break! It features a slightly new rotation schedule, with an increased focus on seeing community picks chosen for discussion.

The current quest being played is "Lost Isle" by DarkFlameWolf and Peteo, and so if you check it out, head over to the current Quest Club forum page and share your thoughts!



Contest Winners!

Now, we take a look at the contest results!

Congratulations to...

- Jambu, victor of Screenshot of the Week 815,
- Matthew, victor of Screenshot of the Week 816,
- Kifstopher, victor of Screen Rebirth 10!

And with that, the you're all caught up for the past month! As always, if you want to be featured, do submit to the database! No matter what it is - scripts, quests, or even loose tiles - there's a chance it could appear!

May has been and gone, so here comes another Feature!

Before we get into any database submissions, we need to give a special highlight to ywkls. At a time when ZQuest Classic 2.55 has few assets to help people understand the program, ywkls has taken it upon himself to create a plethora of different tutorials to be followed by upcoming quest makers. You can view the master thread containing all of the tutorials here!

If you feel like you need a more practical understanding of how to use these 2.55 features, ywkls has you covered yet again! He's also created a tutorial quest for you to work with, just so using these features are that much simpler. Check it out here.

Now, there's one quest to highlight this time around, so let's get to it!

The quest to play this month is Tales of Zelsteria V1 by Pjthehuman!



Finding himself in an island called Alera, Link takes it upon himself to explore the island ahead. Stumbling upon a town in conflict against the evil mage Wizzro, Link's adventure takes an all too familiar turn!

For the quest makers out there, have you ever felt that the Boomerang was maybe a touch too powerful? Enter Boomerang Nerf by Jamian! This script allows you to shorten the stun duration for when Link attacks enemies with the Boomerang, which is useful if you want things feeling a bit more nuanced in your quests.

If you're not feeling like sprucing up your items, then how about adding a new Wizzrobe variant? Black Hole Wizzrobe by Alucard648 has a unique edge; teleporting like your typical Wizzrobe, but casts a "black-hole like spell". This spell drags Link closer for a variety of different effects.

And now, contest results! A big congratulations to:

• )-( Marchland Malady )-( and Joelmacool, victors of Screenshot of the Week 813,
• Jenny, victor of Screenshot of the Week 814,
• Shane, victor of Screenshot of the Month 200, and
• Demonlink and Kifstopher, victors of Screen Rebirth 9!

That's all for this month, and we'll see you again next time! Be sure to submit your quests and enter the forum contests to get a highlight in the next instalment of the Monthly Feature!

Another month, another feature! There isn't much to talk about this time around, but there's still a few things to highlight!

First, two quests have been uploaded to the database, but one of these stands out - The Cycle by TheRock!



Inspired by Valientlink's God of Power, TheRock brings you a quest featuring a day and night cycle, unique dungeon gimmicks, and custom boss fights! If you're curious to play something new, then give this one a try!

It's always worth highlighting non-quest entries, and so here are some useful scripts that have recently been added to the database.

First up, let's have a look at Sensor Ring by Orithan. This 2.55 script provides a new way of passively indicating secrets on your screens. Think about the in-engine Stone of Agony, but in a less obtrusive way! It's always good to add some quality of life items in your quest, so why not give this script a try?

Next, let's look at Moosh's Conditional Warp Trigger. Also for 2.55, this simple script provides a nifty way of changing a screen's warps based on a certain condition. You can choose to use this for plot-based events or for areas with multi-states. Sounds really useful!

Now it's that time again to look at who has won our contests. A big congratulations to:

• Matthew, victor of Screenshot of the Week 811,
• Jenny, victor of Screenshot of the Week 812,
• Moosh and Jambu, victors of Enemy of the Month: Fast Theme,
• Twilight Knight, victor of Screen Rebirth 8, and
• Taco Chopper, victor of Map of the Month 150!

That's all for this month! Not a lot to highlight in terms of new quests, and so if you have anything to showcase, remember to submit your quests to the database! With that said, we’ll see you next time!
