Woo! I took home the Smeargle!


I think you need a new category, though.

Well, you get the idea! (And no, you don't have to rate me #1, I was kidding!)

Since for some reason you thought to put me at the bottom of the list for the puzzle category, I'm going to personally make a puzzle specially designed for you: To keep you occupied for at least 5 hours or whenever you decide to ask me for help.

I will call it "spite puzzle 1.0", and I won't tell you where it is.

Cheers.

I know that I said before (I think in another thread) that I'd do a 5th quest, but with work picking up with the holiday season (Halloween, Thanksgiving and Xmas) and family issues have taken up my off work time. I'll have to withdraw my 5th Quest entry. Unless I said that already in an another thread. Then you can just ignore this post.

I guess. Don't look for the boomerang early on in my quest though.

But why? I've found that annoying in the couple custom quests that I've played.

If it's a BAD custom quest it's annoying, but not if it's a GOOD one. At least, that's been MY experience.

How can one judge how hard is too hard?

And let me step back and say this "taking enemies out of the equation," as enemies are often artificially pumped up as a crutch (which I do not intend to do).
At what point is a puzzle "too hard"?

What if, at some advanced point in a quest, you are in a room, where you must bomb to get out, but for some reason the player ran out of bombs? Is that bad design?
I mean, at some point, isn't is just *expected* that you have stuff on hand that is needed?
