mayaquest!! (quest:https://questden.org/kusaba/quest/res/1108603.html) hello!! first time making one of these, took a Long while for me to gather up the nerve to actually start it, eheh. i realized people usually do discussion threads so !!! here !! discuss !! ask questions if you want!!
also!! some things i wanna clarify since people were wondering!! - what does she go to school for?? well. yknow. it's School. she doesnt go to college or anything, she just goes to School. like Students do. - do we gotta worry about being mean?? people's messages can be as crude, bantering, or overall odd as they'd like!! it works naturally in-universe, she's definitely had worse in her mind before. belittle her, compliment her, praise her, shame her, hate her, love her!! - is this quest nsfw or sfw?? who's to say!! im nyot closed off to much, so expect anything, i suppose!! any other (non-spoilery)_questions ill be up to answer!! thank you all for your mayaquest support!!! <3
How much does she weight
WAIT! NOQ I MEANT "WAIT" How much does she wait? like usually how much does she wait for the bus yes...
Well, consider me hooked. I will admit i was initially suspercting she was a ghost. Waiting for a bus that never came on an empty street. Feeling cold. Disassociated dream like state. Avoidant of contact with others. Actively disturbed by thought of going home and contacting parents. Silly, given the number of other explanaitions. I do kinda wish i floated the idea in comment though if only to see the reaction.
>>143913 >>143914 ... around twenty minutes. im. im nyot answering the other one.
>>143916 im happy to hear youre along for the ride!! support from people like you help a lot to keep maya alive :) it makes me happy hearing you suspect she was a ghost. i mean,,, one could say that she isnt so different from one at all!
Considering it seems like part of the intriguing mystery is 'What, exactly, IS Maya that even she isn't aware of?' I hope that's not answered too quickly. It's very interesting to theorize like this.
Is the trick that when too many people suggest something, she has an epileptic seizure? Because otherwise I'm going to suggest silly things.
It's a bit gross to claim mental illness, I'm plenty aware. But, well. She's got voices in her head- even if they actually aren't HER voices, not like anyone else can hear them, so it's a bit of a half-and-half statement. She's panicking a LOT right now, so we should probably do our best to calm her down somehow. Right now I'm just trying to A: calm her down, and B: give her a plausible reason to shut up and convince any people she talks to that her behavior is to be expected on some level so she stresses LESS about how she's perceived. I want to discover what's up with Maya. I do NOT want her to have a psychological break in the process.
>>144011 Thinking about it, if she cannot 'autofilter' our voices like a lot of other quest MCs can, that's going to clearly be a source of...issues. I kinda implied that before, but I just want to be very clear about it since I've been thinking about the matter more. On the side of entertainment, it really relegates the quest to either Maya stumbling through absolute madness the ENTIRE time and basically having everyone act weirdly as her mind breaks itself into multiple pieces trying to listen to everyone, or there is a soft practical cap on how many suggesters can do anything at a time, which is inherently unfun. That's not to say this is all a horrible setup and it should be changed- but from what I'm seeing, this is something everyone needs to keep in mind- the more suggestions that are input PERIOD, regardless of content, the more fractured Maya's psyche gets trying to listen to and execute all of them, barring QM moments that allow time to pass without our input. I would personally suggest that if we want to keep her sane, happy, healthy, and able to think about what's going on with her feeling cold and whatnot, we try to limit massive varying suggestions and just to go with one of the first 3-4 options of whoever suggested, just with tweaks at the worst.
>>144016 try not to worry too much about that! at the age and state maya is at, she's prone to have lots of chaos in her mind! she just needs some time to get better at handling it. even if there's significantly varying suggestions, im sure she can adapt! hopefully, that is. i mean, how can you keep her safe from bad thoughts without good thoughts? and dont worry, those aren't the only two paths the quest can go down (boring chaos or boring limitations), try to have a little more faith in maya, y'hear!
I missed the recent updating spree, but ive gotten my role as an intrusive thought done anyway. Some very funny bits. Still intrigued by the unanswered questions.
>>144019 Is her age a spoiler? I assume she's in her teens
>>144019 If you say so. I just liked the start and I like the design so I'm worried for her.
Well, I hope Jaden is just fucking weird, but harmless.
A bunch of posts vanished last night. Is everything ok?
maya's brain is even more messed up after that accident lol
>>144022 one could say *anything* unstated yet would be a spoiler. >>144023 >>144369 as do i, my friend. >>144376 yes, yes, just had something to fix. do not worry. >>144401 shes rather lucky
>>144420 nice clothes can i see the seperate pictures of the girls in that overlap picture when talking with sir i cant really look at them too much when they are going past so fast also nice outfit it fits by not really fitting inside
>>144420 Very nice update. Always cheers me up seeing one. That was some damn nice animation on the whiteboard pull down.
The latest update was great! The animation has such a good flow to it. Maya literally being shocked in (1/32) is very expressive, and having the electricity course down her spine really sells it. (4/32) feels really good in terms of weight and momentum. Giving the pointer a rubbery bending effect was a nice touch.
hello! yearly check-in from you-know-who! ive got quite a bit to ramble on about, some questions here to answer, and some questions not-here to answer! >>143912 there was some confusion from my poor wording here, which i apologize greatly for. >it's School. she doesnt go to college or anything, she just goes to School. like Students do. to clarify, i meant this as in 'college' or 'elementary/middle/high' isnt really specified here. its just 'School'. >>144535 im nyot really sure of a way to post them all here without filling up this thread with a bunch of PNGs. i'd recommend ezgif.com if you wanna strip the frames. and. thank you! >>144825 >>144830 thank you!! im happy to hear their silly story cheers you up! i appreciate all of your kind words! >am i allowed to draw/write/comm/etc. fan-stuff of mayaquest? yes!! i greatly appreciate it! it means a lot that people would want to spend time on anything related to my silly daughter! >what about... it doesnt matter, their world is already tainted. and thank you again, my lovely Peanut Gallery! all of you, whether reading or suggesting, really do mean a lot! dont think i didnt nyotice you folks sharing it around!!! that stuff is really appreciated too, y'hear!!
>>144862 >im nyot really sure of a way to post them all here without filling up this thread with a bunch of PNGs. Well, some of your updates can go for 30 or more posts in a row, so it wouldn't be a problem to post the frames here. It may seem like a lot now, but it won't be that big a deal once the quest gets popular enough to have lots of discussion. And it'll make it even easier for us all to appreciate the nice art.
>>144862 Thanks for the update. Here and in thread.
>>144964 Update? The quest continued? ...Oh, we're still at the one from the start of the month. I got excited for a bit. >>144862 Well, that's no problem. I'll be ready for Maya whenever you are.
>>144965 And the quest really did continue just a day later. >>/quest/1121277 Welcome back, Maddie! It's always nice to see what's going on with Maya and Jaden. How have things been going for you between updates?
>>144862 thanks for posting maddie!
fanart! :)
It's been awesome to read through and see the journey of this character. I'm super invested in what comes next, and i've drawn some sketches as fanart!
Joining the mayaquest fanart train (separate drawings of sir)
scary art i found on the deep dark dank web,, it was surrounded by spiderwebs and old viruses,,,, look at your own risk,,,,,,,,,,
its been a while, hasn't it? apologies for the delay, mama is still alive here, dont you worry! i felt since it's been a bit i should give an update here, just to clarify that yes, im still working on getting my silly daughter's story out to you all! ive been rather busy, which has made it rather difficult to set aside 'maya time', and id like to make sure i can tell her story to the best of my ability! and for you artists out there, i see you, and i appreciate and thank you! it means a lot to both my daughter and i that youd put aside time and energy for her, its very kind and makes me want to keep giving it my all!!! stay tuned, and remember, Maya Loves You!
>>145079 No need to apologize, you can take as much time as you need. We're all glad to know you're doing well.
take all the time you need
fatty fatty fatty
So many people drew her as an orb, so I decided to change it up a little bit.
>>145097 Maya got cubed again!
