"Uncounted miles and unknown years stretched behind the wanderer on the day they came to Seaside Town.
The journey had been quiet, the roads safe. The wanderer's skills with blade and spell had slipped into welcome disuse.
The sleepy coastal community promised more peace and quiet, but strange forces stirred in the shadows, and they had other plans..."

The Joy of Quest is a short, sweet, frequently comedic homage to the games I grew up loving on the SNES. In it you play "the wanderer," a mysterious adventurer with a penchant for solving other peoples' problems and fighting their battles. The wanderer is a veteran of this risky lifestyle, and usually manages to stay cheerful and debonair no matter how often they get boiled, stabbed, shot, poisoned, teleported, misled, or dragooned into taking care of someone else's chores. Like any good RPG village, Seaside Town would be completely helpless without a hero like the wanderer to sort out its troubles.

I've owned a copy of RPG Maker VX Ace for several weeks now, and The Joy of Quest is my first learning project. The goal I set myself was to create a complete short RPG using the default visual elements of the VX ACE package... it had to have an intro event, a variety of quests, a reasonably developed combat system, a fairly open (if tiny) world, a vehicle, and a complete set of end credits screens that changes based on player achievements and decisions. It also had to run smoothly, after relatively extensive proofreading and debugging. Now there's nothing left to do but let it loose in the world and see if anyone is willing to play and/or criticize it.
The Joy of Quest should provide anywhere from 3-7 hours of gameplay, depending on how long you dawdle and how much of a taste you have for XP grinding (which will provide advantages, but is not at all necessary).

CloseGuess I need to do a little work, to bump this game into the Full Game list :)
I just hope players see the DOWNLOAD LINKS toward the bottom :(
That, or the developer submits this game to the powers that be and it gets accepted really, really fast :)
I'm almost done. Getting close to finding and demolishing the wicked boss.
The game is exactly what the creator says it is, "The Joy of Quest".
If you enjoy questing, this game is for you.
Not a big world, but questers don't really need a big world :)
IMHO, the mapping is pretty good.
The battles are fun since they are not too, too hard :)
One of the best parts though is the humor.
The developer seems to have a good sense of humor and I did in fact get several
good chuckles out of this game.
Not sure if this is the developers first game, but if so, he/she needs to get busy and make a few more :)
Thanks for a fun game OldIrish

OK, so the bad boss ain't no more :)
Really, any of you who enjoy RPG/Adventure games should try this game.
The monsters/enemies are not all that hard to beat so strategists need not apply :)
Battle scenes, weapons, spells are also enjoyable.
The interaction between the characters is very entertaining and you might even smile.
Sure hope the developer gets approval to upload this game onto RMN so I don't get in trouble for double posting :(
