Okay, here is what I have planned. Every other month, I set up a contest like this one, but each one has a theme. It starts on the first of the month, and goes into the fifteenth of the next month. That sound good? So the contest is extended untill the fifteenth of January.

ooo, theme sounds interesting 😃

Make a themed quest in a month!
That's a great idea 😃

What sort of themes did you have in mind?

Well, I have been playing around with a bunch of themes. Like a quest with a seoson system for a theme, or maybe a theme like must have a huge storyline twist. I think next month is prbably going to be the storyline twist. Mostly because I am pretty sure I have a storyline twist that will top any other.

Story line twist sounds like the best contest Idea ever! maybe you should do Ideas instead of seasons from now on?

Just PM a link to the quest to me. And if it is not to much trouble, could you use either media fire or Zshare (most other file upload sites get blocked by my internet security). And just out of curiosity, is anyone still doing this contest? It seems like the Pure ZC two week contest was a lot more popular than this one is.

And only 17 days are left.

Well I'm trying, but my efforts seem to be going towards trying to figure out why stuff doesn't work, rather than actually building a quest. I've done nothing useful in the last two weeks really.

I was planning on just resubmitting my game again here.

It'll be pretty much the same, just with lots of bugfixes.
Hopefully including the boss one.

Take this advice then. Make level 1 and level 4 bigger. There are still almost three weeks left. You could easily make the first and last level bigger.

I'll think about it.
Level 1 I probably could make bigger, but Level 4.
I wanted to have a large multifloor dungeon with lots of puzzles and the like for level 4.

I really can't do that very easily without spending a long time on it; a long time that I don't really have.
I have exams in a few weeks. bleh.

I just thought I'd say, four days left. Submissions are due Tuesday, January fifteenth, before midnight Pacific Time.

I think I am scrapping the judges worth 50% idea, since there are only two judges right now.

And before I set up a bunch of polls in the ZC discussion thread, I just want to make sure some administrater aproves of it.

Well, i'm out. Unless I can throw together something in a day or two. I've opened zq just enough to mess with some Ikaruga type scripts. Other than that I'm still trying to figure out why stuff isn't working...😞

Sorry it didn't work. I had to drop out of the Pure ZC two week quest contest for the same reason. Maybe next time.

Send me a PM and we can work something out about the voting.

How many submissions are currently in? Maybe you should extend the deadline by a week or so if it looks like some authors will need it?

Does anybody need more time? As far as I know, LostInHyru1e, Joe123, Gleeok, and DarkDeath are competing, and LostInHyru1e and Joe123 are just resubmitting their quests from the Pure ZC contest. I'm not sure about DarkDeath, and I know Gleeok needs more time.

So would any of the contestents like me to extend the deadline?

Well, it appears the day for submission has come, and nobody has requested an extinsion of the due date. So, all submissions are due today, before midnight Pacific Time. So PM me your submissions, and may the best man win.

And sorry for the double post by the way.

Yeah, sucks really 😞

Hopefully it'll get fixed soon, and then people can just use the beta with the bugfix.

You're just resubmitting the Pure ZC two week contest one, right. If that's the case, you don't have to PM it to me.
