How Long Did It Take You To Complete Your Quest?

I've been using Zelda Classic for four years and still haven't completed a quest.

Pathetic, I know.

4 years and didn't complete a quest! Where are you hiding? O_o

I'm in the same boat as Kyargu, Snort. Or maybe a little different of one cause it's actually been about 5 years for me. XD

I am working on a quest right though, but, well... My creativity is out the window right now. I need to sit down and start thinking hard, about the layout of the early areas of the game. The first town is my major holdup right now, I'm trying to make it more than just houses and a shop on flat land.

Nearly 1/100 done of it. I usually have 8 hours of free time since of Summer so expect it mabye around.......Early august. Might be End of July. Got ALOT of free time since I finished all my summer work in a week. I just goot figure how to make the starting point and making caves so for now......I'm just mapping. Gonna be tough. So I'll have to make a FAQ for it.

well, provided I get another kick-ass tileset to work with soon, you may see a new quest from me within several months. But I'd first have to have the tileset. Give me something to work with and you'll have a quest. Everyone should know that with me by now. lol

mabey you could use the "a link to the past" tileset from pure ZC :shrug: .

true enough, but it hasn't inspired much in terms of design for me. Now Prince's new WW tileset has inspired me. If only it were finished and released.

I have 13 unfinished quest files on the PC. The Prophecy was probably my longest-worked-on quest, at half a year. Got up to L7. ... ... Sucks.

Though, to be fair, I spend more time working with graphics than actually building the quest, so, ... that's relatively redeeming. 😉 The more graphics for the community, the better.

Making Microplex took me 7 months off and on. I would say it was OK.

So far, Rise of the Undead Emperor has taken me 2� years off and on. That's gone into making 85% of the overworld, 5 dungeons, and a system of caves. What stings is that there are certain people, who have made good quests in 6 days, who could probably take the design for RoUE and make the whole thing in about a month. When you think about it, it's really rather vexing.

you know, everything goes faster if you plan it out on paper.
trust me. i had only five screens done in like a couple of days, but then i worked it out on paper and got my overworld finished in hour

Yeah. I just finished the first level, Completely finished it. Who thought about having a maze in a level? Or two aquamentus's. I had to get rid of the over world and edit because it looked too darn rushed. I got rid of the whole part. I had to edit the entrance to level 1 because.....It was way too close. Now you have to find a way to get into it. The only way to get in is via a passageway. opps spoiled.
