Whenever I attempt to create a base game on the website (cannot download quest), it gives me an error message. If it helps, I'm American.
"Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request"

Hello.

The process is a little tedious, but I highly advise following the tutorial before attempting to create a serious game.

PLan your game out on MS Publisher or even a PC wordpad document. You can later then simply copy your text and paste it into the Quest editor. This will make life as simple as possible.

Plan your game on paper/MSpublisher etc. and don't start puting anything into Quest until you have developed lists of objects, locations (rooms), characters and tasks (commands).

If you try to make a game up as you go along, you will have problems with locations. I had various up/down locations and found that the Quest map got totally messed up, so had to redesign my whole map. Allow for lots of room between any up/down directions linking rooms as the Quest map has layers and it needs to be totally logical, not messy.

I found the tutorials almost useless and far too confusing. Forums can sometimes get you the best advice for specific problems. We are all here to help.

Have fun.
