So whats the story behind that bearded guy in that picture?

also EDF, Starit's quests, Som's quests, Ed's quests, that first ever quest with the 3D models, and any others I haven't mentioned which you like a lot.

>>70854

there was once a hobo. he was sad. the end.

They're dead! (Or on hiatus). Along with approximately a thousand other quests.

Currently, I'm mourning Breaking Reality. I know the majority of text quest hating philistines won't care, but I'm still hoping that one had some BP left before it died.

>>70853
God damn, I miss Oblitus. I'm just happy Brom is back.

>>70856
Man, that story sucks! How can you be sure he's a hobo? Do you for sure he's sad? What if he's just contemplative?
What reason would he have for being sad anyways? Such a marvelous beard should make all his worries meaningless!

No one mourns for SCOM...

>>70862
Considering the mortality rate of xcom operatives, it would be incredibly silly to do so.

Also, quest authors aren't allowed to mourn their dead quests, especially since they're free to revive them at any time. (Quest authors could bemoan their own failings, instead, I guess. Sort of a sisyphean penance?).

I miss Black Company.

>>70860
brom <3

he needs to update eivr though

>>70863
Heheheh, wondered when someone would notice. However, that quest died due to lack of participation. If I thought anyone were interested, I'd revive it immediately. However, market research has not shown any such thing. Just look at these numbers!

>>70868
You were measuring your quest's popularity against frungy? No wonder it didn't seem popular. I mean, breathing would hardly make a blip compared to the sport of kings.

>>70874
I've got to go with the Zoq on this one. It's a ridiculous game. I hate it so very much.

also the problem is we kinda had no fucking idea what we were supposed to do. things kept getting weirder as everyone did their best to kill themselves.

>>70876
Aye. To be honest, I was kinda winging it. Spur of the moment thing, yasee.

solution is cool down. you have something silly happen then have something NOT silly happen. it prevents exponential escalation as you try to top the last thing. the normal makes even low lvl silly stand out.

>>70878
Mmmm. I was trying for "over the top". I didn't think anyone could take "Aliens invade, they bad, shoot shoot killy pow pow!" seriously anymore.

>>70864
Me too. :( But it was a nightmare to run and participation was dwindling, so I shelved it.

Does anyone think any of these quest might make a comeback now that summers practically here or do you think it would be better not to get your hopes up?

I honestly have no idea how old anyone is here (I'm not asking either) but it sounds like most are still in school (in either high school or college) So I figured once people got some more free time on there hands some of these quest might get a second breath of life

>>70881
I might bring Black Company back if there's enough participation for a decent army. Maybe I should do some sort of pre-signups.

>>70882
Since /tg/chan has less people circulating than /tg/, it may also help to give the officers each some low-level NPC soldiers to control, like they normally do when people go missing. That may make officer more appealing, since complaints were that more than one wasn't needed, and allow them to fill empty space in the army.

>>70883
Balance discussion should probably go in the actual thread. I'd rather not derail this one talking about it.

I'm still here, and fully intend to run Soviet Hero again soon. But real life comes first, you know? Once I stop being so busy, Sero will be back.

TGChan Caravan will be back at some point, there is just some author difficulty happening with RML I think. I'm going to talk to her about it. Don't sweat it!

well some of the authors just lose interest after a while and also have other priorities to take care of... but .. ya know... no one mentioned any of my quests, so don't take my advice on anything.

>>70908
For what it's worth, I enjoy quite a few of your quests and would be more than happy to see them come back. Be great to see kingsman continue. Or [+]! Or the hunter reboot keep going.

We have more dead quests than any other type of quest right now. It's a distressing trend.

I miss ACQUIRED. Also it looks like Pixel Adventure 2 died.

>>70912
>We have more dead quests than any other type of quest right now.

Isn't this technically going to always be true? I mean, just look at dead projects on the internet as a whole.

>>70865
Eivr is updating more right after Oren is over.

AND IT IS SO CLOSE TO OVER

>>70912
>>70915
Well, DEAD quests are quests that haven't even gotten through one thread. Hiatus quests are ones that stuck around for a second chapter then went to the graveyard, and those are the ones that really bum me out.

>>70908

well that's because your quests die before anybody can even come across them a second time.

>>70939
yeah, also oblitus is probably going to restart in summer

I'm sadly guilty of letting a quest thread go. What can I say, Skyrim came out.
I'm hoping to make sure my new one keeps going, though!

>>70908
>>70910
>[+] or kingsmen
<3
(hunter new is ok so far)

I miss coracle's stuff.

I miss Ysabel and Magic West. Someone go jab Ficus with a cattle prod and get him to update.

>>70947
And threaten to damage his perfect hands? NEVER.

>>70947
I'm hoping he'll come back soon, last I check he said school stuff was slowing him down so now that summer is pretty much here it should be making a comeback. SHOULD being the key word

>>70859
Yeah I miss Breaking Reality as well and hope it gets a revival one day.

A quest I would like to see come back would be bluewine's story time. at least it ended at a chapter's end instead of halfway throw a chapter.

>>70967
I am in agreement on that.

Loss of Dragon Dance is inesxcusable. No more ||<

what I love most about this thread is that it is leading me to some great quest, some of which I can't even find on the wiki page. Sucks that all of them are dead though.

>>70977
Pretty sure everything mentioned here should be in the wiki. If there's something you can't find, I'd be more than happy to drop a link.

The most likely offender that jumps to mind is [+], which is actually wiki-ed as "Plus", since the wiki don't take kindly to brackets or plus signs.

>>70978
well what I meant was that yeah the quest are in the wiki It's just that some of them don't show in the Category:Quests page take Dragon Dance for example, if you type it in the search box on the wiki it takes you straight to the quest page but if you look in the Category:Quests page it isn't there, at least not under D but I don't have a clue where else you would find it

some other quest I couldn't find on the Category:Quests where Maze of the Heart, Astara, Last flight of the sparrow,and SCOM.

Might be more but those are the only ones I have found that aren't on the Category:Quests page. Again if you type them in on the search bar you'll find them in no time but if you're just checking the Category:Quests page for some quest to read for whatever reason you would have never found them.

>>70986
The reason you can't find everything under [[Category:Quests]] is because when a quest dies it is added to [[Category:Dead Quests]] and removed from [[Category:Quests]] (in an attempt to keep the main list uncluttered with all the things that died prematurely). Only running quests, completed quests, and quests on hiatus show up on the main list.

Maze of Heart, Astara, and XCOM are all dead, and not on the main list. Sparrow is completed and most definitely shows up under quests (and major completed quests). It's under T though, since the first word in the title is "the".

>>70988
We've really got to fix that at some point. Don't half of the quests on this board start with "the"?

>>70990
Nah, not really. Besides, it's not a problem at all if you're using the wiki's search function, or if you're using ctrl f instead of skimming by eye.

If you're going to complain about improper alphabetization, more egregious than the "the"s is the fact that capitals letters get extra priority. (So quest AB would be listed before quest Aa).

oh man, Last Flight was an awesome quest. I'm gonna go read it again. thanks for reminding me.

Maze of the Heart was a collaborative project and it ended up being super impossible for the people running it to properly collaborate. Don't expect a return ; n ;

Kinda would like Ant Quest to continue. Wanna see what happens to Scars, KiLLER QUEEEN and of course the thing in the cellar

I remember there was this one quest where a party of player suggested characters delved into a dungeon, platformer style. Whenever someone died to the many, many traps a new suggested character would enter the game.

>>70856
I'll be returning to my quests soon.

Battlequest should come back.
I'm just saying.

RIP Rape Quest.

>>73561
Wait, shit, you're talking about Puzzle Dungeon, aren't you? I ran that quest too!

It was sort of the precursor to Black Company.

>>73939
So it was. I kept thinking it was just called Dungeon Quest for some reason, but couldn't find it on the wiki because that was something else entirely.

>>73958
Welp, now it's back up and running. Enjoy!

>>73959
Hurray!

>>73872
ok

http://tgchan.org/kusaba/quest/res/527296.html

I miss Nova Pori Double Tango.

Also, Dungeon Deeper.

>>76247

Yes please. Somebody page Citizen and have him bring back the best animated quest.

with the holidays just around the corner if they're not here already I thought it would be fun to just voice some X-mas wishes of quest you'd like to see come back or if the quest is already out hope it doesn't die. Cause hey, it's the holidays and miracles are know to happen around this time.

My wish list is
story time by bluewine
Life out of place by Rand
Magic West by ficus
any of what's quests
maybe something by testPattern
cutegal by BG
and for Clockwork seal to continue Unraveled or really any of his quest to come back/continue.
also hoping Astara by N sticks around even after the holiday special

How about you folks what would your holiday wish list be?

I'm bringing it back babey just try and stop me

Conspiracy of Wasps
Static on the Wire
Titans We Are
DiveQuest

Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my bookmarks... And my fanart... even my suggestions... The quests we've lost... the authors we've lost... won't stop hurting! It's like they're all still there!!

You feel it too... don't you?

>>129127
If you had looked you would have found a more recent thread for this:
>>114582

>>129127
Defective
Black Company
How To Be An Overlord

>>129128
I like this one, the sad hobo is far more reflective of how I feel about hiatus'd quests

it is the year of our lord 2019 and people remember Defective

what a rush

>>129137
Didn't you notice people nominating Kata22i a few times?

>>129137
I enjoy all your quests, but Defective was the first quest I followed here so it holds a special place in my heart.

>>129137
I'm still waiting for you to pick it back up

>>129127
I would like to continue Gnoll's Bane one day

>>129145
I would like you to continue it too!! Bangles is great

i miss brom, apollo and sketchy.

so many dead good quests.

I miss Orion.

>>129163
>>129164
>GlacierClear and Fluxom used to do quests
holy shit, I thought Plague of Gripes was a surprise

Also I'm sure Brom will be back... maybe when his kid goes off to college or something

>>129166
>Fluxom
huh, i wasn't aware of that name. yeah, apollo made some amazing ones. rollback is still one of my favorites, years later. also it started the whole ENHANCE KNOCKERS thing.
i hope they're doing well.

>>129128
I miss people posting in that superior thread.

>>129178
>steal someone else's thread idea
>complain when people use the original
I miss when people had shame

>Someone misses Red Sands!
>Awww, that's heartwarming.

I'm really sorry it died, but it lost so much direction and I couldn't get it back. I tried again on anonkun but I lost internet for one session and then everyone stopped reading. It is not meant to be, one of those cursed concepts, sort of things.
Also I'm a terrible attention whore and I just get bored if I don't get enough feedback (for one) and there's so much good art questing these days I feel bad not having art myself. And I really don't have the time, either. Just too many factors.

I guess thanks for the mention and the feels.

oh! can't forget jukashi.
rip.

I really miss SpookQuest. I wonder why it stopped?
