Title: Simple Quest! (Placeholder name)
Post by: McPopato on September 10, 2018, 06:43:19 AM
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.

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.

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!
Title: Re: Simple Quest! (Placeholder name)
Post by: McPopato on September 11, 2018, 02:58:32 PM
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!
Title: Re: Simple Quest! (Placeholder name)
Post by: CGM on September 11, 2018, 03:06:48 PM
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!

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!

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. :)

Post by: CGM on September 18, 2018, 10:09:16 PM
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.
Title: Re: Simple Quest! (Placeholder name)
Post by: Alley on September 18, 2018, 10:30:16 PM
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. :)
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. ::)

Post by: CGM on November 07, 2018, 07:52:21 AM
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. :(

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

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.

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.

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!?
Title: Re: Simple Quest! (Placeholder name)

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? ::)
