Game

The Quest

11 years ago

Let me just start this article by saying one thing: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Writing in batch invokes a certain nostalgia and amazing feeling, but at times it also invokes the urge to set my laptop ablaze. I’ve spent the greater of the last four hours working on some updates for The Quest and hopefully i’ll be able to upload the changes that include what happens when you enter the forest of the east, along with other scenarios surrounding the guard (in yellow text ofcourse) to the castle. That is… after I figure out why as soon as you hit start the game immediatly throws you to the end of the game… uhg…

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
