The Fall Expo is Here!

Posted by Aevin , 09 Oct 2016
The Fall Expo is now open! This year we have 16 entries for current and upcoming quests, a scripting library from grayswandir, and a ... um ... "something" from Lunaria! Take a walk through the Expo here to have a look at all the cool stuff, ask questions, vote in polls, and see what creators have in store! I hope you all enjoy the show! :)

We received three new quests since our last update. First, we have the Bagel Meister's Retreat to Crumsc, a mini-quest in the classic style! Next up is Lunaria's Enter the Golden Aquamentus, a brief puzzle-focused adventure. Finally, we have Magic and Fantasy by King Aquamentus, an NES-style quest with a unique graphics style and a variety of custom tiles.

The PureZC Superlatives will open for nominations in a few months. You've still got some time, but start thinking about who you'd like to nominate for awards for nearly all aspects of quest production, and forum awards too.

See you next time!
 

September Update - Expo Coming Soon!

Posted by Aevin , 06 Sep 2016
Welcome to PureZC's news corner. Here's a quick rundown of what's been going on in the month since our last update.

There's been a few changes in our staff team. Russ has been promoted to administrator, while Nathaniel and Evan20000 have been moved to moderators. If you haven't already, why not drop them a congratulations? All these people have been part of the staff for years, and we have confidence they'll all do well in their new positions.

The 2016 Fall Zelda Classic Expo is open for submissions! You can submit just about anything you've been working on to show off at the Expo. Quest projects, tilesets, finished quests from the past year, and even plans and outlines are all welcome. Submissions are due October 2nd, so you have plenty of time - but watch out, or the date might just creep up on you. Have a look in the Expo Submission Guidelines for full details. The Expo opens a week later, with several members planning to stream the entries. Whether you're submitting an entry or just looking forward to browsing, we hope you'll all look forward to the Expo.

Three new quests have been submitted since the last update, including the popular Nargad's Trail: Crystal Crusades. You could also check out the newly-submitted Nehe, which focuses on the candle as a main weapon, and 4 Temples 2: Fate of the Triforce, a sequel to the original Kivitoe quest. Be sure to also check out the scripts, music, and other parts of the database for anything you may have missed.

Thanks for reading! We hope you all have a great month!
 

August Update

Posted by Aevin , 06 Aug 2016
Hello, everyone! Welcome to PureZC's little news corner.

First of all, I'd like to once again welcome Polaris (Shane) to the PureZC staff. We've brought him on as a forum assistant! We feel he's demonstrated great maturity, and has been a part of PureZC for a long time. He's hosted events, runs the unofficial skype group, and is an active quest developer. We're confident he'll do a great job! If you haven't already, you can give him your congratulations here.

Four new quests have come out this past month, each following very different styles. First we have Kivitoe's classic NES-styled "4-temples," then Mr. Redead's LttP inspired "The Dark World's Return." Next, we turn to an open-world adventure in the Link's Awakening tileset with Yeto's "Island of Yeto." Finally, a side-scrolling quest in the style of Metroid, we have "Metroid: Origins" by ywkls. In addition to quests, there's a lot of other gems, so be sure and have a look through the Scripts, Music and tile portions of the database.

After many years, a big change has happened in the quest database. Shoelace's The Hero of Dreams has at last been dethroned as the #1 quest. In the Lost Kingdom of the Banana Blood God by Moosh and Russ currently stands at the top. Will its position stand the test of time? Why not go see what all the hype is about?

Summer is winding down, and for many of you school starts again soon. There's still some free time to play quests, or make quests and other resources. Oh, and maybe some other stuff like "playing outside" or something, too.

Thanks for tuning in! You all have a great rest of your summer!
