Err, close enough.

Now you know I have to ask this....
Does this mean that quest builders are going to be sitting on their hands for another 10 months waiting for a stable build to use with their quests, while you finish yours to release with the new version?
I'm the only one working on this. Meanwhile, ZC is being worked on by six people. So it stands to reason that ZC 2.5 will be released well before this quest is done.
(That I have managed to be the most consistently productive developer while simultaneously developing this quest may or may not just be an incidental detail. In fact, I might suggest that there is causation here - having a quest of my own is a highly effective motivation for me to continue supporting ZC day in and day out, and there is a not inconsiderable mound of bugs which I have found only through developing this quest.)
I would have called it the fire phallus. :P
But then it wouldn't rhyme!
Alright fair enough.What about the name to rest of the entrances?
-The Fire Spire.
-The Earth Berth.
-The Wind ..uhh.. Rescind.
-The Water ...hrm.. orange?
Also I would like to request a Dark Fortress. Every Adventure game should have a Dark Fortress.
..Actually that's a good idea for a game. It'd be like the sims, but instead of hanging out in the hot tub you'd do stuff like hollow out volcanoes for evil lairs, recruit henchmen, put a laser on the moon, and build vehicles that burrow through the ground. Cool! -The new Dark Fortress downloadable content just came out today: The Biological Weapon expansion pack! lol.

More substantial entry later.
I just went through this thread and seen some more of the progress. I just wanted to say it still looks great, and I (and many others I'm sure) am looking forward to it. It'll definitely be different kind of monster than what anyone is used to.
Sorry about being silent for 3 months. I have done plenty of stuff but it's not quite ready to unveil yet. In place of a proper post, have a look at these maps I made of various dungeons - some old, some new:
Getting closer! 😊
Hey, _L_. I love the amount of great work you put into ZC recently, but I was wondering: are you still working on this?
(Again, totally fine if you aren't. Just curious, that's all.)
All I have to say is that I'm not working on it... at this very moment.
Did this ever get finished? I recall being pretty excited by this originally but after looking at the maps it looks somewhat uninspired.
I'm sure the gameplay and scripting are top notch, but the actual places seem either boring, bland, or messy. Just design wise it's kinda unappealing. Like that fire spire you posted earlier; I would have no idea that was fire themed unless you mentioned it. The Jungle Labyrinth has little to no green in it, and the leafs on the walls look really awkward.
If someone is still working on this, don't let my criticism hold you back though. Just, I suppose, keep it in mind for the future.
Is this being worked on? Or has it been abandoned?. Reasons I ask the game looks fun and I really want to play it 😉
