Nice commentary, and this looks FANtastic. It's amazing how this is growing in ways to enjoy and create. Now I need to bring this up. Ash, when is the next jam going to happen? Are you feeling it yet? Hope so.. Quest On ⚔️ 🛡 ⚔️ 🛡
Good to see this creator giving props to the other one for building maps. With it being web based, it could be quite useful regardless where you are at. I do wonder with the ability selection option for any of the expansion characters if the developer decided to drop them all into one area while initially creating that code and has yet to make the individual options for each character and move everything. It would be interesting to see if you can have two of the same hero, which I know would be more of a home brew rule, on this site.
I’m instantly thinking of ways to broadcast this to my friends over discord etc so we can play together remotely. This app has so much play engagement potential to it’s wild to me. I’ve never been more motivated to learn a programming language!! (I have zero ability in that area so this could get interesting 😂)
Hi! I contributed to write the QuestDown documentation. I don't think you really need to learn programming. For most uses you just can copy-paste some what's written in other Quests (there are some already provided that can be used as template). And we are happy to support and give help to keep the project grow.😊
every player could refer to the actions being done on screen, or you could hide the screen as Zargon and place the minis as you wished onto the board. It would seem you can't "be" zargon, so no controlling the monsters or their actions in the app. But then, if you want to be Zargon, you won't need this -- just a copy of the hQuestBuilder (or other app)'s quest.
This looks absolutely AMAZING! The potential of a program like this is utterly limitless, it's the board game companion we all deserved in the first place. It could easily replace the official app which is an insulting mess of game breaking bugs and basic mistakes.
@@houldenc22 what? Hasbro actually SUPPORT their app?! 🤣 I'm playing (or attempting to) on version 2.0. They can't even get the mind points right for the Rogue who can't move through monsters even with magic or items. Dread magic doesn't work right, there are bugs which end the game completely and Spirit Queen's Torment isn't even on there. Neither is the Dread Moon portrait of the knight; and dead party members can't be replaced by different classes. It's an amateurish mess which is unfit for purpose, I'll help out with hQuestMaster if I can, it looks like just the thing the community needs 😁
There was a fan made PC isometric version of Heroquest which was actually really good graphics wise - I came across it a few years ago but it's been around for a lot longer. I think the creator name was Lurchbrick.
Confirmed! I helped in writing the QuestDown documentation and wrote the Quest displayed by Ash. The behaviour sometimes in the quest shown is suboptimal because it was meant to be a showcase of all the possibilities you have QuestDown. You can have a message displayed just once, repeated many times, or displayed until a condition is met (for example, after all monsters in a room are killed). QuestDown is incredibly flexible for this.

If you are able to use this over the internet and invite people to your quest that would be a game changer.
I also really want to learn how to program maps for this app even though I know nothing about programming. Let's get it on! 💪
@@AlPaka Fortunately my brother-in-law is a pretty advanced level programer. I’m hoping he’ll help me make sense of it 😂

Wow. Well done!
Does this work with base game quests? I feel like I would rather use this than the official app
Wow looks awesome. Definitely going to use for homebrew content. Looking forward to the app as I would prefer to play on a tablet
Brilliantly done, very cool
Very nice! Thanks for the heads-up
This looks so cool.
Great news and excellent video, thanks for making me think of Cecily Strong from SNL every few minutes as well.
Very cool, more options the better
This is amazing 🤯
Great video.. thanks AshQuest!! 🙂 Just subscribed too!
interesting. Edit.. very interesting. if it becomes usable offline, even better...
Coolness.
Can I use this with other players, including playing as Zargon?

It will also keep going after hasbro end support

@@jackslaughter3233 well they are at least making a half arsed effort. But this will be much much better
Super cool i need more time to go and do this stuff😂 i will check it out
Yeah the ai is already better the the offioapp as every monster tanks the barbarian lol
This is awesome. An app like this for other similar style games like Space Hulk would be cool too.
Love it. Thanks for sharing

Have I got a surprise for you :D
Do a search for this...or check out my livestream playlist...and relive the nostalgia (and re-download the game!)
great vid, I was reading the quest down and there is a room entering trigger, that will repeat only if instructed.
