If you're wondering where this went, it's being rebranded and remade.
Not canceled, just starting over.
Expect a post about the newly branded "Simple Adventure" later this year, most likely.
-
I like this Progress Report you have going on. good luck with your game. :)
also, planning to release any demos?
-
Sounds cool! Glad to see a new game in development.
-
I'll release Alpha 1 when the first world is in a finished state in my opinion. Complete doesn't mean finalized to me, so I'd like to do some polishing here and there!
-
Major update
I've sent the first version of Simple Quest to be reviewed!
The first world is 100% playable!
-
I like this, seems very good.
It's good you have planned stuff before. I normally don't plannify nothing in my games until I have created a little. Good luck with the game xD :D
-
I do have a tendency to drop projects... And certainly I didn't plan anything ahead, it just came to me, But I'll do my best to finish this one before coming up with anything else.
-
Good to know it :D
-
Glad to see that these forums are active! I don't know why, but I love it when my check post button comes up with so many new messages! And you sure made world 1 quick!
-
World 1 was more of a learning experience for me. The levels aren't too long, but they will get longer as I make the game further!
-
I see... ASM has taken a very long time to develop since it has required many mechanics that PB wasn't made for. Almost anything can be done with PB!
-
If you work hard enough, anything can become a reality!
-
Yay! Magic :D
-
I'm writing this just after I played the game and I have to say that was very good and has a lot of quality in my opinion. I liked it a lot, the level designs were attractive, the music was also cool!
Continue doing that great work!
-
Too bad I can't play... I don't have a PC. Just a smartphone...😞
-
I tried it yesterday and didn't make it very far... I know I'll beat it in time!

Do it! His final boss in the first world is very impressive. ;)
I wish this game would have World 2 very soon. :)
-
Okay! I'm glad to see explore explode with new titles! And titles that use more advanced features! For months, explore has had games that use simple objects and they don't create things that are special. I usually don't publish side-games because I focus on ASM.
-
Wait... Is "Simple Quest!" a side project by McPotato then? :-\
Also, I don't understand what do you mean by using advanced features exactly? I think that Explore section had at least 2-3 games before "Simple Quest!" already for a very long time. Although I can agree that there were some times when there didn't appear any new games anymore for very long before now. But now we have at least 2 more games that are very potential exactly by using something advanced, special, unique. :)
- For example, each level I have made so far uses built-in enemies and items for servants but my game has no much challenge because of enemies anyways. The biggest challenge in my game comes with custom obstacles, scenes, challenges and puzzles which have been created by using hidden enemies, items, projectiles, tile sheets and course duplications for actions that command alone can't do yet. If not mentioning my boss battles.
- I don't know if Seggaw's main project had that much of it but he used custom music and sprites for doing some really good game design and his storyline was very potential also which gave some really good gaming experience.
- Then Antikore's Project TC came out and some more very good projects that have something unique. I don't mean enemies but scenes, physics, and rules that were created for those games. Those were not made by using just one object. ::)
If speaking about Simple Quest then yeah, it is not very simple for a first world but several places have been planned very impressively and final boss for that world is really unique. No one hasn't created something like this. Something similar that people make for SMBX but better. My created villain gets mad and you must act faster but you don't have to change your strategy that much. I also plan a boss that uses different forms, I mean several looks, behaviors, and abilities in several health levels but haven't reached yet. ::)
-
I can't wait to see this continue! And Alley, it is a side project by McPopato. His advanced features means things like commands and timelines. Since Explore doesn't have very good games, McPopato doesn't know that lots of people behind the scenes are using complex features. I have become a pretty good friend of his, and he seems to want to do more development on Castlemania. I do hope he updates this game soon. But his PC is broken now, and it needs to get fixed. So, I don't see this game getting updated soon. :(
-
This game is awesome! The final boss was great. O0
Too bad it's already over... :-\

That's true! ;)

It is short. But the game is getting a 100% revamp.
-
Talking about advertising PB or its game if there is really such a need to emphasize things that much then you should have emphasized a fact that the game have a great final boss not that the game is short. :) Some people who even may have not registered with this forum may read how "boring" there are. :P

But I don't wanna wait for it

I cant beat level 4

The game is practically broken. Welcome to the forums, maximum16!
-

Yeah, probably its broken. Also, welcome!
-
McPopato is saying he wants to work on other projects instead of Simple Quest. Something deeper, more complex. But he plans to release a demo game shortly showcasing a mechanic.

sounds like you're keeping in touch with McPotato, and that's great. ;)
hate to be that guy, but it's been a while. some new, updated information would be nice.
-
Yeah, we've been talking a lot lately via discord. ;)
-
I apologize for the practical radio silence. Back when I first announced Simple Quest, I had some ambitions towards it. Life got in the way, and eventually I lost interest sadly. Currently, I have no plans on continuing work on Simple Quest, but I may return to it at a later point. For now, the project is practically dead, though.

Top 10 disappointing moments of 2020

Seriously?

Seriously?
So you don't care about Simple Quest huh?
-
I do care about it, but I doubt it deserves to be on the top 10 most disappointing moments of 2020 list.
Don't get me wrong, I do care about simple quest, but it seemed like an exaggeration to me.

in the grant scheme of things, everyone would be happy if this actually was a Top 10 disappointing moment this year.

Small question is that gonna still be rebranded to that?
-
Woah. 2018? That seems like eons ago. Wow. He said that before ASM had even been released to the public! Is Simple Quest really that old!?
-
Whatever rebranding was planned is no longer in progress. If I go back to Simple Quest, it'll simply be... Simple Quest.

That's the best thing to do, I am myself against rebranding of important video game series.

I cant beat level 4
Hi, maximun16! :)
I have beaten the whole game so if you can't do it then it became glitchy by the progress to update PB or you simply must practice and try harder. Can you explain what is that which prevents from you beating the level exactly? ::)
-
I don't think this fort was here last time I played
