Quest Creation Contest - Interested?

from Elemental Forums

Hi everyone,

 

I want to gage the interest in a quest making contest.   I am willing to put some prizes together if there is enough interest, maybe we can even get Stardock to contribute.   So do people want to see some new quests from the community?  Would you participate in the contest?  

 

Use of the quest wizard is not going to be required, but it certainly would make it easier to get started.  So start thinking and get ready to create.

I would love to see some (lots of) quests from the community.

I would absolutely participate if there was enough interest.

I'll participate - with a non-stormworld quest no less!

may need to to look at "what the first prize is" first :grin:  Haha... just kidding.

 

Let's aim on quality :moo: instead of quantity aka 1 submission per person ?

Interesting thought.   1 per person would be good, but I also don't want to lose anything that we could use in the future.    

 

Now I am willing to be one of the judges, but I am not sure I want the sole responsibility.   I am hesitant to put it to a vote because I doubt the general populace will play all the quests and have a real opinion on each.   so what say you, what is the best way to determine a winner for this?  should we ask the SD devs to be guest judges (assuming they are interested)?

I like the idea a lot, and will attempt to figure out the quest wizard.

I really like the idea of multi-location/multi-fight quests - both a combination of the morgana's and arena - where you can cancel the quest and get A or continue and get B or continue and die horribly.  Actually, I'm going to see if you can get an affect upon death - then you can win and get C or lose and get D (most likely a trait, "scarred for life").. hmmm     (and if someone wants to steal the idea and just implement it...)   

Not sure you should limit it to 1/person - quality is key but if someone is really good at it I don't think the community should lose the potential content.

Stardock already had a quest contest once.  They are sitting on hundreds of quest ideas.  Having said that, they didn't use my quest which was simple and awesome!  I should have won the video card, but I digress.  I could be into a new contest and I might even try the quest wizard.  The game needs another 10-20 easy quests so we're not doing the same quests over and over again.

More quests is always a good thing. Go for it ;)

More quests are always welcome and the contest would help to perhaps create some common quest repository at last.

I'd say, if we can get SD as judges - great, but if not I believe modders with most contributions should take that role -> here I'd list Heavenfall, sean3, Parrotmath, Murteas, ImpInc...

I'd participate (or judge) - creating quests is a fun endevour.

Sounds great!  I have no idea how to make a quest, but I love the idea of both learning and contributing.

Ok, looks like we have enough interest to make a start.  Let's try a small contest first.  I'll put something together to announce it, and then we'll expand to a larger contest after we see how the first goes.    If someone is dying to manage the contest, let me know and I'm happy to give way, otherwise I'll get an announcement up in the next few days (as I have some time off for the holidays).

 

Get thinking of what you want to create!  :)
