no, i'm thinking more the new deathrace, i remember the old one, but my story wouldn't flow well with all the outside interractions...

and think about it, if the racer was still running amok in public, he'd be able to NOT do crazy death racing.

But part of the fun in the old one was that they wanted to do crazy death racing. Or well most of them did. The drivers were freaking crazy. The fans were crazy, almost the entire world was crazy and the ones who pointed out how crazy it was got locked up in asylums. And it had awesome car designs.

>some furry anime thing
The best summary of Redline I've heard so far was "a mix of Cannonball Run and Death Race 2000, with a dash of the cast of Top Gear, racing through a nuclear minefield in space-North-Korea".

Admittedly Trava has fur, being some sort of scruffy rabbit thing, but he barely even gets a bit part.

I don't think that commenting on grammar, spelling, punctuation, and the like is some kind of troll. It is a valid critique, because doing these things properly makes your quest easier to read.

Not doing them makes it look as though you don't care. If you can't do it yourself, you could look for a proofreader. There are people around here who will provide such services if asked nicely.

i do not recall everyone being perfect, i also do not see every quest being perfect.

I have not noticed Lucid or weaver being perfect.

And i have not seen anyone hating their quests due to grammatical issues.

Lest i forget, romanticar had a girl that had z's in front of most of her words.

Humor me guys, i have no excuse for not being perfect.

Nobody is perfect. That doesn't mean you shouldn't strive for perfection.

>>345001
It's not a serious issue. Nonetheless, it's something that could be improved, and thus it was pointed out. That is not a bad thing. It is not being mean, or whatever you might think. To "Leaver her alone" would be to allow her to stew in her own imperfection. Why would anyone do that, when pointing out the flaw such that she may erase it is such a trivial thing to do? There is no reason not to extend advice, besides with the intent to create a hugbox environment where everything sucks and nobody ever improves. Few of us here see that as desirable.

Getting all mad about advice and implicitly refusing to make any attempt to improve, however, is a pretty serious problem. It will lead, at best, to stagnation.

Do you happen to use Firefox? The built-in spell checker should highlight some simple things like lack of capitalisation at the start of sentences, or egregious spelling mistakes. Chrome has a spell checker too (not sure if it's enabled by default).

>allow her to stew in her own imperfection. Why would anyone do that

i like being imperfect, it's like... i dunno, my personality is being expressed by one too many letters or putting the wrong symbol in.
My bad spelling is like my identity and the way i tell my stories... I'm sorry if i sound stupid, but i feel like if i attempt to make every word perfect in grammatical context i'll forget the point of story i'm making.

but whatever, i'll try better in future if you seriously don't like it that much.
>>
No. 35294 ID: 3358a2

There's a difference between pointing out actual flaws and pointing out stupid shit. There is nothing wrong with not capitalizing your i's, especially if it's a stylistic choice. Did you stand behind Da Vinci and point out that he was doing it wrong? Plus, this comment feels a little mean considering the complaints seem to be solely about indigo and not any of our other perfectly fine quest authors with less than exceptional grammar or spelling.

I don't mean to be rude or anything, but, isn't just going 'lolboredQuestOver' kind of a big no no or something?

You left, then came back asking if you could come back, people said yes, and then you make a quest, you kinda just let it go for a bit, then decide to cut the whole thing?

I'm not trying to sound nasty or anything by any means, but if you're going to put quests up on here the last thing you should probably do is just stop the thing with a sudden game over out of boredom. It makes you look kinda bad as a quest author, and it's obvious that you're not necessarily a BAD quest author at all. You kinda just need to stop getting in trouble with other authors and pulling stuff like this.

tl;dr I know making a good quest and stuff can be hard, and keeping interest in it is harder. You need to make sure that if you start something, especially here on Quest, you need to see it through to the end. And that's pretty much my piece. Again, I'm not trying to be mean or troll you or anything, I'm just stating my opinion as civilly (Is that even a word? owo; ) as possible.
