Elemental’s 2nd Contest: Design a Quest!

January 6, 2011 1:27:09 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

We are excited to announce our 2nd Elemental: War of Magic contest which starts today!  We head great success with the “Design a Spell” contest, so we are taking it to the next step with the “Design a Quest” contest.  If you are familiar with the previous contest, then the premise is basically the same except this time we are looking for user submitted quests.

If you have a cool idea for a quest that you think would be a great addition to Elemental, then come post your quest idea for a chance to win prizes including having your quest included in future builds of Elemental: War of Magic.

http://elementalgame.com/contest

Prizes:

  • First Place: ATI Radeon™ HD 5850 1GB graphics card AND have your quest implemented into Elemental: War of Magic!
  • Second Place: $50 Impulse Gift Card
  • Third Place: $25 Impulse Gift Card
  • Fourth Place: $25 Impulse Gift Card
  • Fifth Place: $25 Impulse Gift Card

Contest begins today, January 6th.  Submissions will end on January 31st and the top 5 will be selected by the Elemental team.  Public voting on the top 5 will begin on February 7th and will run until February 22nd.  Winners announced on February 22nd!

KEEPER: What is your quest?

Sovereign: To seek Patch 1.2.

KEEPER: What is your favorite color?

What are the technical constraints on what a quest can be? Most of the quests in-game are pretty limited, (get the quest, go to a place, maybe fight something, win) but presumably we are able to do a bit more than that.

The Sovereign: "So I heard rumours about a quest."

Rat: "Yes. My Clan needs help purging our house that has been infested by humans."

The Sovereign: "Hmmm Human killing, huh? Shouldn't be difficult."

Rat: "Bring me the corpse of one as evidence and we will reward you generously."

I don't know, I read Xia's and it is a good plot, but I worry that a Titan may be too powerful of an entity to actively involve. I don't like nailing down Titan power levels (or Titan personalities/behaviors) in this manner. I would recommend making this character the child of a Titan and a mortal - with the Crone implied to be the mortal parent.

It's a really great plot though, and that is my only concern.

Sweet, another contest. Any word on complexity? I'd like to throw something unusual in there, but at the same time viable.

Hmm, a cannibalism quest to eat faces...... sounds awesome. Glad I thought of it before anyone else did. I always have the best original ideas.

Sovereign rocks up to a quest hut...

Weirdo Hermit: I see you have teeth and a mouth, and almost certainly a digestive system. I have waited for one such as you for many a Tuesday.

Sovereign: Thanks. I have always prided myself on such unique qualities.

Weirdo Hermit: You must go and find a man with a face. Remember that last part, as it's very important. The man must have a face.

Sovereign (pulls out parchment and quill): ....must have face.

----Several Tuesdays later----

Weirdo Hermit: Ahhh, you have done it! You have brought the man with the face. ....... eat it.

Sovereign: Wha?

Weirdo Hermit: EAT HIS FACE!!!!

Sovereign (proceeds to use his unique qualities to eat the face of the man with a face): [*gulp*] Ahhh. There, I have completed your quest. Now, the reward if you will.

Weirdo Hermit: Quest? Who said anything about a quest?

We don't want to know how you're going to befriend Xia's corpse.

Well, if Titans are like Primordials in Exalted, they would still exist after being killed, albeit less powerful and less sane.

I HAVE THE WINNER!!

1) Your trusted friend and powerful wizard, Jonshaferwitz has been kidnapped somewhere in Civfanaticland.

2) You must venture forth into this wasteland. But beware! The legions of fanatics have powerful spells. One false move, and you will fall victim to the hivemind, and be forced to scream in unison,"You ruined my game" for all eternity.

3) Upon freeing the wizard, you gain access to the legendary "Oneunitpertile" spell, which sends the fanatics running, and causes free people everywhere to rejoice.

 

No need to thank me, and I will PM my address for the new vid card. Tootles!

Time.

That and the moderator/webmaster being bothered reviewing and submitting it to the list.

Also, dark rituals.

I feel sorry for the moderators, they're going to have to read through all submissions AND edits we make to the quests. That's a lot of reading compared to the relatively short spell descriptions.
