ZC Contest 1: Dungeons

LinktheMaster · 02-01-2009, 02:02 PM

The first Monthly ZC Contest is to design a dungeon.

The dungeon can be based on anything. It can be just a random dungeon, or it can even be part of a quest you're currently making. However, the demo that you provide should focus just on the dungeon (basically, people shouldn't have to play 5 hours just to get to the dungeon you're featuring Tongue

).

When you're finished with your dungeon, you may send 2 screenshots and a quest file to me. Smile

All submissions will be due on Friday the 20th. It's a bit early just because of the short month.

Good luck! Smile

Huzzah! Something for me to do. No rules? Any version? tileset restrictions?

....and then I remembered I have little expirience with dungeons. Sorry, can't participate in this one.

I feel like entering, but it would slow progress on PoRC too much, and I would never end up finishing it anyways. Indifferent

Hypothetically speaking, could it be an unreleased mid-quest dungeon I've already finished that's part of a quest in progress?

Yeah... hypothetically... >.>

Yes, but like I said, the demo would have to focus on that dungeon, meaning you should give the player what they need, then start them in the dungeon. Players shouldn't have to play through 5 dungeons just to get to the one you're submitting to the contest.

Taking a quest and making it into a dungeon demo is just a matter of "fencing it off," so no problem. Smile

Um. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

I'm definitely taking part, dungeon's almost ready. Just have some bugs to whack and the music to decide on.

Just to make sure : ZC 2.10.2 is ok, right?

Russ · 02-04-2009, 06:26 AM

I might try to enter this. Is 2.5 okay? 'cause that's all my computer will run.

Do we have to make it during the month?

LinktheMaster · 02-04-2009, 08:12 AM

No, the dungeon can be made before, though I would prefer it if the dungeon has not been released before.

And any version is fine, you'll just want to specify beforehand what version the quest is for.
