Ever wonder...
...if you eat an apple, at what point in your digestive process does it stop being an apple?
...if 2+2 must always really be 4?
...what REALLY is the sound of one hand clapping?
If so, then ZEN QUEST is for you!
Story:
You are a young man who has decided to cast aside all his material goods and material comforts to pursue enlightenment. Your goal in Part I is to find a mentor to help you get started on the path to enlightenment.
Basic Factoids
This is my first game, which I started making way back in 2003. Unfortunately my design was too ambitious and I lost interest. Recently I picked it up again and decided to split off the first 30% into a self-contained Part I.
Progress:
Rooms: roughly 12 done of planned 15
Scripting: 50%
Graphics: 80%, but need reworking (a lot was taken from the template game)
Sound/Music: 0%
Dialogue: 60%

Pondering the meaning of wisdom.
Most interesting! :)

This looks like a really fun game. I love the idea of enlightenment points. :) I like the graphics, too, but I'm not a huge fan of using the photo for the wise man's hut. It just seems a little inconsistent with the other backgrounds. Looks awesome overall, though, and I'll definitely be playing this when you're done.
This look interesting, good luck.
edit: But I would switch that "waiting cursor" for example to an hourclass. It would fit better to theme. :)

The photo is definitely just a placeholder, I intend to redraw them all in that space questey style.
I like the look of this. The blue font does seem a bit hard for me to read though.
Do you need help with the music?.
Interesting! PM me if you need help!
I have a better idea ... how about we read the forum rules and not dig up old threads?
Thaatiba - do not do that again.
If this game is still in production, PM me when/if you want to update and I'll unlock the thread.
