The latest, in-development version of ZC. This version introduces Modules to both the ZQuest Editor, and ZC Player, and it introduces many new features, including script types for weapons, enemies, Link, and DMaps, more graphical capabilities, and general expansion of all ZQuest Editor capabilities.
Change Log Source Code ZCLaunch Source Code
You are now able to do things such as making larger enemies, giving items pick-up strings, and more, purely using the editor, without scripts.
Note that the download size is rather large, because it includes many test quest files, along with three modules (Classic, Default, and Expo). Eventually, the Classic module will be separate, DLC, and the Default module (when complete), will be the primary module included with ZQuest Creator.
Modules Downoads

There may be some bugs along the way, but we fix them as they occur.
For a taste of things to come, please feel free to try 2.55 today. The development team fully-supports developing new quests in these Alphas.
