With the New Year upon us, we must reflect back on the final month of 2024...

Goodbye to the Substance... Again

With the 20th anniversary of Derisory Substance, we thought it great to celebrate it by opening a new - third - iteration of the Substance. And, with all its fun and... peculiar posts, it's now time to say goodbye once again.

With the turn of the new year, Derisory Substance III closes, and we can all reminisce at the beautiful posts that were made...

But now it's time to return to normalcy, and get back to questmaking!

...Or, you can visit the archive, and relive the experience from a distance!

New Quests!

Two quests were released in December, with both of them taking more of a retro approach to their designs...

Saint James Place by Joelmacool presents two unique quests within one - will you try the reimagined version, or face the challenge by taking on the original?



Pacman by Captain Crispy brings the classic arcade game, Pacman, to ZQuest Classic! With ten unique mazes and a fully animated ending cutscene, will you be able to navigate the maze in this timeless classic?

Halloween proved to be so scary that the Monthly Feature went missing for a straight week! With the Feature now fully recovered from the frightful month that was October, let's see what we have to cover!


Two New Quests!

Coming in hot, we have our first quest for October: 'Iridium OFFENSIVE' by Naldrag!

This quest features Link venturing through the land of Iridium, but things are not as they seem... the Tower of 0 beckons him, and a mystery needs to be solved!



Next up comes 'Hyrule Fantasy Gaiden: Spell of Mudora' by runa!

With the fall of Link and the resurrection of the Prince of Darkness, Zelda takes it upon herself to seek the 8 Pages of Mudora and put an end to the evil Gannon's reign!




A New Hero Spritesheet Calls to Questmakers...

Are you a questmaker looking for something more unique than the standard Link spritesheet? Perhaps you want to make a quest without Link, or you want to simply spruce up his design!

Well, allow me to introduce you to: 'Hero (GBC spritesheet)' by Ether!



Providing the standard slash, swim, and shield sprites, this spritesheet even comes with various portraits for your text-box needs!


Quest Club Sings a Medley of a Verdant Nature...

Quest Club returns with another quest to sink your teeth into!

This time around, we have the honour of showing: 'Medly of the Grass Bow' by Tabletpillow!

Around five hours long, with three different endings, this quest will give you a rich metroidvania experience! If you've been looking for a quest to play, but don't have the time to play those longer-form quests, look no further!




Enemy of the Month is Looking for Entries!

If you love creating unique enemies for your quests, and want to show them off, then Enemy of the Month has you covered!

This month, the theme is focused on segmented enemies, like your Moldorms and Lanmolas. As with any other month, feel free to be as creative and liberal as you want with this theme!
