Crescent Quest 1.8.2 - Christmas and Y2K Event 2024 - TimeLierG - 11-23-2024
This is Crescent Quests most special Christmas event yet, being right behind the upcoming ten year anniversary event I wanted to make this Christmas an even better one and a very nostalgic and cozy one as well. Cressora Town and Lusnayin City have been decorated with a lot of festive charm, while drawing these decorations and adding them to the game I have become very fond of the new look of Lusnayin and I might keep the decorations there after the event is over, having Lusnayin be permanently associated with this holiday. Lusnayin City was inspired by a city / hub from another game which also had it's fair share of events, including a Christmas one and I think it fits very well with this new (old?) look.
You may notice that some of the new item sprites / designs added in this update look different from the usual ones, that is because for the first time some of them are not made by me! As you know my games have been made solely by me, aside from the engine itself doing some of the work, for the first time we have another artist working on item designs, I would like to introduce BuddytheWolf, he has never done pixel art or art in general before and I have been teaching him how it's done the last few weeks. He is a perfect fit for the game!
There is also a nostalgic Y2K event alongside the Christmas one, you can obtain a new pair of glasses at the Cressora event portal for a short time.
Here are the updates for Crescent Quest 1.8.2.
* Added a new Christmas themed title screen, it is different from previous years.
* Added the 2000 Glasses.
* Added more Christmas related items including the Santslimius Hat, Festive Present 2024, Peppermints, Candy Cane Staff, Sword and Bow, Mistletoe Staff, Candy Cane Kit, Frozen Candy Cane Kit and more. The Santslimius Hat and Festive Present 2024 will be discontinued and unobtainable after the event is over.
* Added a peak at a new area in the Keedbalt outskirts, a volcanic location has been added around 2014 but was removed shortly after, I have been working on bringing it back recently, it is mostly being added for a new quest involving Wynion. Sentloer and Endor.
* Added a monorail system, kind of. It's not finished yet but you can look at it at least, it's found in one location currently, that being south of the abandoned Keedbalt factory. This will be used for quests in the future among other things.
