i've been thinking recently, that 64quest would be very difficult to create for me, especially considering the fact that i used large looking sprites for it, and i recently began ANOTHER new project, that actually looks nicer, neater, and more thought out, and especially much easier on me when it comes to spriting. the main character (me) will look like what all those people look like in the banner for the new project that i started, but i have been thinking that i am doing SO WELL on the new project than the old one, that i thought i would trash the other one and declare the new project i am working on, 64quest. it won't have as MANY spells as what the old one has planned, but it should be much simpler for controls, it will still have all the elements and such, but less spells, and a bit more variety, and it will still include summons and everything, it'll just have a new look and much better engine to work with, i will soon post links to the current 64quest and the NEW 64quest that i think should overwrite the older version, but i'm not going to decide without somebodies opinion, so you guys can choose.
DL the zip below (it contains both games) and tell me which one would seem better, it would do me miracles if i had some answers from the public, SO!everyone please submit your responses as comments and tell me which one should be 64quest, A or B.A. old version (64quest)B. new version (64quest2)i will tally all the votes and make a decision july 3rd, 9 PM central time. (i live in texas so i think that's just about right.)<a href='http://64digits.com/users/vanhelsing/64quest2.zip'>DOWNLOAD.</a>

i personally vote for B, it looks alot nicer and is easier for me to program.
the blog is too long so I can't read it :'(
Actually it is pretty short compared to some
XD
I played both and I liked the old versoinA.
I… Didn't really like either.
I hated how messages went off screen, how NOTHING was uppercase and the grammar wasn't that great either, and how stupid the head guy was, and the story wasn't that great either.And in the first one I was told to press control to read a sign… But guess what? I could never find out HOW.Then there is the lame controls. Controls, Space Bar, ARROW KEYS FOR ALL MOVEMENT… Thats a really bad choice if you ask me… Which you kinda were asking everyone, so whatever.I can easily say I prefer the first one, however.Also, I don't feel like bothering with saying which game I was referring to in my arguements, so yeah. :Pi made it with the arrow key on both cuz i heard some people can't use WASD controls on their keyboard because one would be on the other side of the keyboard and such. and the large amount of capatalization errors is cuz i usually NEVER do that sort of thing unless it was for a grade, or i was about to release it, and yes, i know the words go off the screen alot, i'm going to fix that in the version that i decide on. that, and i don't get why everyone is voting for A… :'( most likely because i never put in the spell bar for the second version yet, but i don't want to swamp myself with programming, so i'm going to tell you all this much: the spell selection engine WILL be transferred to the second IF it is selected to be the one to stay, i'm going to tell you guys that now so nobody gets a completly different thing from what i've been planning AND BLOGGING ABOUT a long time, so BTW, the spell engine in the old ver will be transferred to the newer version, including all the spells.
besides, i made the new Version a day ago, so don't blame meh for any errors. XD
I didn't care for the spell system. I thought it sucked, because you had to press space bar AFTER ALREADY SELECTING THE SPELL. Plus there is no conformation on if you picked the spell or not.
And if you think WASD is bad for keyboards, try using Numpad on a Laptop : There isn't one.You should put in changable controls… :POk,here it goes.
#1 had a much nicer looking character, and the storylike was just a tiny bit easier to follow.It was REALLY hard to see things in #2, because there was soo much black and whiteThe magic system in #1 would need some SERIOUS work (make the icons MUCH larger, colored, and include what number you need to press to select each option, but it's better than the system that doesn't even exist in #2.P is probably the stupidest Next Message key EVER.The music in #2 was just annoying.You made tiny grammar mistakes. This annoyed me, probably more than it should have.Anyway, I'm saying that#1 IS VICTORY
a:i like how an unexpected error occurs at startup!(sarcasm)
B; is actually pretty cool!
