alright hellions, here's mai first idea

i'm thinkin, DEATHRACE, like that movie, but it'll be similar to a hotwheels track and with quest characters from other quests

whadya think gais?

>>344084
No thank you.

moar tits.

Stick with just one quest for now.

>>344084
Every single part of that idea is terrible.

The more important question, Indigo, is why are you wearing Steele's jacket, whilst half naked?

>>344084
personally I don't think it's a bad idea, as long as you ask permission before using other peoples characters

but I do think it's wise to finish one quest before starting another

alright, so there are more people against the death race idea and i guess it wouldn't too kind of me if i didn't ask why not?

listen jabronee, this is a very cheap and stylish shirt that you can get cheap from andies

it's cotton and dosn't wrinkle in the wash, look i even have another shirt.

>>344143
My main problems with that idea are:
- What is the actual game component? What interesting decisions would suggestors be able to make? Who would they be controlling?
- Co-ordinating all the authors involved to avoid stamping on any precious toes, running roughshod over canon, or---most damaging---triggering any of the numerous landmines of fan dumb if people's waifus don't perform every bit as well as they imagine. (Basically it's the fight thread with wheels.)
- Why a hotwheels track? That seems kind of arbitrary and restrictive.

I suspect Quest Wacky Races would probably just work better as a fanart bandwagon or oC topic; ITQ antics at most. (It's actually half-heartedly been one of these: >>/draw/2692 )

>>344084
Like the first Deathrace that had Stallone and lots of tits and was awesome or like the second one that sucked?

>>344149
the classic deathrace is the only real deathrace

 

>>344147
>interesting decisions
>controlling
>Wacky Races
>one particular racer who is distinct and notable in doing something other than "keep driving" and interacts in an antagonistic fashion with all others
Y'know, come up with a good double-zero driver for /quest/ to control, possibly an original character do not steal for this quest, and I reckon this could work if you could handle the (not inconsiderable) amount of wrangling required.

>>344152
yeah, then it would be about figuring out how to beat the other characters instead of a fight over who's waifu is better.

>-What is the actual game component? What interesting decisions would suggestors be able to make? Who would they be controlling?

The gameplay is the same suggest an action style, instead of hey move or hey go that way, it’s mostly “hey there’s a guy coming up on your (side) use (super kewl gadget) and whoop him.

Everything is costumizable, except the track and the enemies. Meaning the suggestors could make ANYTHING be a driver, and he could drive ANYTHING that they could possibly think of. This is done with a customization system that I would come up with.

They would be controlling the player’s actions, and maybe the npcs that are his mechanic(s).

>- Co-ordinating all the authors involved to avoid stamping on any precious toes, running roughshod over canon, or---most damaging---triggering any of the numerous landmines of fan dumb if people's waifus don't perform every bit as well as they imagine. (Basically it's the fight thread with wheels.)

Alright, then I’ll start the quest with iconic creatures from the wiki until I get permission from a few authors… pretty whoever is willing to let me talk to them at a time I can be on.

>- Why a hotwheels track? That seems kind of arbitrary and restrictive.

I’m using ‘hotwheels track’ as a visual metaphor, have you seen the old hotwheel track sets? THEY WERE FREAKING NUTS, gravity defying turns and flips and loops and all sort of crazy stuff… I HAD A MUSTANG HOTWHEEL TAKE A 90 DEGREE TURN INTO A TORNADO TRACK SUSPENDED FROM MY CEILING!!!!!!!!
Now obviously it’s not gonna look EXACTLY like a hotwheels track, but it will be based off of some of the sets that I used to collect.

>>344160
>crazy hotwheels track
0.0

Some guys had P&P and some had this, I guess...

 

For a 'cannonball run' type race, don't forget the usefullness of having a hostile host to the race. Not only are the participants competing to win the race, but at the same time cooperating to avoid being arrested by the local police/blown to the shit by the local tinpot dictator/etc.

Video definitely related.

>>344166

no, i'm thinking more the new deathrace, i remember the old one, but my story wouldn't flow well with all the outside interractions...

and think about it, if the racer was still running amok in public, he'd be able to NOT do crazy death racing.

>I get permission from a few authors…

Well you have my permission, not that I invented much... You can use any of my characters that you like.

>>344172
But part of the fun in the old one was that they wanted to do crazy death racing. Or well most of them did. The drivers were freaking crazy. The fans were crazy, almost the entire world was crazy and the ones who pointed out how crazy it was got locked up in asylums. And it had awesome car designs.

 

>>344166

>>344178
>some furry anime thing
The best summary of Redline I've heard so far was "a mix of Cannonball Run and Death Race 2000, with a dash of the cast of Top Gear, racing through a nuclear minefield in space-North-Korea".

Admittedly Trava has fur, being some sort of scruffy rabbit thing, but he barely even gets a bit part.

Little question -
The earlier images in ShortQuest had comic-book style [I don't know the word - the pixelly overlay]. Why'd you get rid of it?

>>344197
>The earlier images in ShortQuest had comic-book style [I don't know the word - the pixelly overlay]. Why'd you get rid of it?

eh? you mean the background? that's when i'm all hoppy hootiy on drugs, supposed to be like some colorfu background and stuff... anyway, it was only used when i was hoppy hooty

>You can use any of my characters that you like

thx flynn

using any of FlynnMerk's characters would probably be a big mistake

Please don't

>using any of FlynnMerk's characters would probably be a big mistake

i don't see you throwin oken my way or anything,
i'll use anyone i can get

I will allow you to use any of my characters as long as you don't use any of Flynn's characters

>I will allow you to use any of my characters as long as you don't use any of Flynn's characters

yessssss, no take backs lonely world!

heh, fair enough

trial quest is trial, and has been made... here i go guys

Well its a shame that disliking me gets you special rights... Still I'm happy for you. Chances like this don't come along every day.
Power isn't infinite, to grow is to take blablabla... good job.

I'll just have to work hard and wright better. Maybe then peoples will hate less.

:3c

If you're doing a wacky races thing, count me in too. /Quest/ needs more goofy lighthearted shit, and honestly, that's the only way I can see a thing like this working.

Wacky Races? Count me in.

ME too. Wacky races sounds fun.

sweet, anyway its the speed zoom quest, so don't dissapoint me in your suggestions guys.

mfw Apathy card.

Cute! Although I did ruin his assumed appearance twice

Ugh, you're using one of Reaver's characters? Disgusting

their the cards, don't think of them as characters, think of them as fanart, lets me slide easier

anyway, everyone who ever has a quest on the wiki will have a card... so don't be thinking you'll only get a few, it's a ridiculous project that'll take time

I'm totally cool with wacky races-ing with my characters

>>344345
Oh, well I'm still okay with this too.

My characters number a space dog and a handful of rats. I don't think you want to use them. :P

But you can totally take any of the characters from Black Company. Tanks, APC, AC-130, soldiers, etc. Maybe they could comprise some of the hazards!

i dunno. a space dog would drive a space car. and she was in the pilot seat so she knows how to drive.

>>344365
ok but you can only use Kassandra if she drives a tiny spaceship and it gets disqualified by being struck by meteors

You can use my characters too. Especially from Crowmanticar.

sweet, i'll have the lots all filled up in no time the way this is going, but for now i'll use half mine and half anybody elses characters

Indigo, what is your relationship re:bamump, specifically being the same person.

>>344913

specifically being the same person is a yes, but i decided to change my persona

irl stats:
female
brunette
slim build
wish i had a tablet
and
super neat at style mimickry

The trollface volto is enticing enough, but the bad grammar irks me badly enough to hide your quests.

>>344987

you don't have to look at my quests...
no ones forcing you, and later on the grammer issue will skyrocket

It's going to get WORSE?!

>>344990

yeah, there's going to be an irish bear
some cajun speaking brown people
and some ugly monsters that speak... who knows

i'm trying to introduce a world i created, if you don't like it... well just hide my quests then

>>344991
I don't think that commenting on grammar, spelling, punctuation, and the like is some kind of troll. It is a valid critique, because doing these things properly makes your quest easier to read.

Not doing them makes it look as though you don't care. If you can't do it yourself, you could look for a proofreader. There are people around here who will provide such services if asked nicely.

>>344994

well i can understand that, but i don't think that a minor misspelling in one or two words requires such criticism

>a minor misspelling in one or two words
Oh god, do you not even realize?
Yeah, your English isn't that great. It's not a huge deal, especially comparatively, but improving it would improve your quests.

>>344997

>... world of grammar nazis

i do not recall everyone being perfect, i also do not see every quest being perfect.

I have not noticed Lucid or weaver being perfect.

And i have not seen anyone hating their quests due to grammatical issues.

Lest i forget, romanticar had a girl that had z's in front of most of her words.

Humor me guys, i have no excuse for not being perfect.

LonelyWorld does quests fine with writing just like indigo's, if not worse. Hell, some people might consider it endearing. Leave her alone.

>>344998
Nobody is perfect. That doesn't mean you shouldn't strive for perfection.

>>345001
It's not a serious issue. Nonetheless, it's something that could be improved, and thus it was pointed out. That is not a bad thing. It is not being mean, or whatever you might think. To "Leaver her alone" would be to allow her to stew in her own imperfection. Why would anyone do that, when pointing out the flaw such that she may erase it is such a trivial thing to do? There is no reason not to extend advice, besides with the intent to create a hugbox environment where everything sucks and nobody ever improves. Few of us here see that as desirable.

Getting all mad about advice and implicitly refusing to make any attempt to improve, however, is a pretty serious problem. It will lead, at best, to stagnation.

Do you happen to use Firefox? The built-in spell checker should highlight some simple things like lack of capitalisation at the start of sentences, or egregious spelling mistakes. Chrome has a spell checker too (not sure if it's enabled by default).

Oh jeez. I know I was blunt, but I'm not trying to be a hater.

>>345018

peace, brudda, i just feel like talking to talk
nothing against you.

>>345002
>allow her to stew in her own imperfection. Why would anyone do that

i like being imperfect, it's like... i dunno, my personality is being expressed by one too many letters or putting the wrong symbol in.
My bad spelling is like my identity and the way i tell my stories... I'm sorry if i sound stupid, but i feel like if i attempt to make every word perfect in grammatical context i'll forget the point of story i'm making.

but whatever, i'll try better in future if you seriously don't like it that much.

There's a difference between pointing out actual flaws and pointing out stupid shit. There is nothing wrong with not capitalizing your i's, especially if it's a stylistic choice. Did you stand behind Da Vinci and point out that he was doing it wrong? Plus, this comment feels a little mean considering the complaints seem to be solely about indigo and not any of our other perfectly fine quest authors with less than exceptional grammar or spelling.

This is false, it is always brought up to quest authors when they're making mistakes in spelling/grammar. A quest being easier to read/understand is a good thing.

Yeah sure why not.

The first Shortquest thread was pretty funny. I actually think you're one of the funnier quest authors in here. So, yeah, I'd like to see another one.

What?

Aside from that, yes, no reason not to other than tiredness or other concerns.

You don't really need plot to have a successful quest. Just let the suggesters faff about instead if you can't think of anything at a given moment. It's worked for Gnoll for years.

No-one's going to stop you coming back, and you at least had the decency to explain your reasons for leaving and not go on some massive tirade like I did a few times

Welcome back!

Welcome back, Indigo.

Of course you can come back. You know, even when folks are maligning the fuck out of you, it doesn't mean they don't want you here. That's just how folks talk on this part of the internet.

Sure why not. It's not like you're the first one to leave forever and then return.

It's not like you're any worse than most of the clowns here anyway.

Hey how about a clown quest?

:D you're back?
<3 you!

>>349342
Words of wisdom. Fucking listen to them.

yay, i guess i'll add upon justice quest first.

don't do anything unless you think you can do the whole thing. if you don't know then think about it some more. quests dying in the middle for no good reason is worse then not existing at all.

>>349461
You stopped! ;_;

;_;
y u do dis to poor lil freddy?

it happens... i get tired of something then it dies... i just ended it before it went to the graveyard

I don't mean to be rude or anything, but, isn't just going 'lolboredQuestOver' kind of a big no no or something?

You left, then came back asking if you could come back, people said yes, and then you make a quest, you kinda just let it go for a bit, then decide to cut the whole thing?

I'm not trying to sound nasty or anything by any means, but if you're going to put quests up on here the last thing you should probably do is just stop the thing with a sudden game over out of boredom. It makes you look kinda bad as a quest author, and it's obvious that you're not necessarily a BAD quest author at all. You kinda just need to stop getting in trouble with other authors and pulling stuff like this.

tl;dr I know making a good quest and stuff can be hard, and keeping interest in it is harder. You need to make sure that if you start something, especially here on Quest, you need to see it through to the end. And that's pretty much my piece. Again, I'm not trying to be mean or troll you or anything, I'm just stating my opinion as civilly (Is that even a word? owo; ) as possible.

>>350279
And here's my less-polite way of putting it: If you can't be bothered to stick with your quests, why should anyone bother to watch or suggest?

yeah guy abandoning quests?
