So, I've been off ZC for a while.
I spent an hour or so dicking through old posts I've made (its really, REALLY weird to see stuff you were doing on the internet more than a decade ago, but for the life of me I can't find the shitty tileset I made) and then dicking through a lot of new ones.
It sounds pretty clear to me we've got single scrolling screens down probably, and side-view. (videos I saw of that are just BEAUTIFUL!)
So, rather than ask a hundred thousand questions, I'd much, much rather see some of these huge advances since 2.1 and prior in action, especially scripting/custom bosses/sidescrolling/and single-screen scrolling.
It's amazing to see how spectacular this engine has become over the years.
Can someone pop me some links must-play quests that'd showcase this stuff, and ease me back into what I've missed?
EDIT:
Or even one. I'm gonna take a harder look, but most of the highest rated, etc quests on pureZC and ZC.com are 1.8x-2.10, just by nature of them ratin' systems.... And of course, I know some of them are great, having played them, back in the day. Back to diggin', but I hope someone's got some gem I've not seen pop up yet.
EDIT again:
I found one 2.5 quest so far, on pureZC, Gleok's GRIKARUGUN which looks amazing. Maybe I'm confused, and 1.9 was the first version with scripting/heavy customization?
I'm confused.
But I'd still really like to see custom scripted bosses and sidescrolling in a quest setting :)
