Surprise, everyone!

It's been a very long time since I've updated BoxxyQuest in any way, but I've spent the past several months working on an update so huge, that I've decided to release it as a full, separate DLC. You can find the files in the main page's download section, and installation instructions further below in this post.

If you're eager for a new adventure with Catie and her friends, I hope you'll enjoy what I've made!

WHAT IT'S ABOUT:

This BoxxyQuest expansion offers at least 4-5 hours of new content, set in a previously unseen part of the Internet. After beating the game's main story, (and reaching the "Epilogue" section), you'll be able to travel the full length of Artistry Highway, all the way from Tumblr to DeviantART.

There are two major new sites to visit, Etsy and Newgrounds, along with a few smaller enclaves, and plenty of secrets to find off the beaten path...

Newgrounds was once a joyous and bustling site, but is now a quiet shell of its former self. There, you can experience the DLC's main storyline as you cross paths with a group of old enemies, and try to uncover their sinister new plan. Just how deep does their rabbit hole go... and just who, or what, is pulling the strings behind it all?

Etsy is a cozy village nestled amidst mountains and waterfalls. There, you'll find a new exploration-focused sidequest with an unexpected reward. You'll also be able to purchase your own home, decorate it with furniture, and chat with your party members as roommates!

Fight against new enemies and bosses, each with their own unique gimmicks and mechanics to figure out... including one fated battle that's drastically unlike anything else in the game.

Find many new items to use, along with new weapons, armors, and even accessories to equip, all with their own unique effects!

HOW TO INSTALL:

If you've installed a patch for this game before, it works the exact same way. If not, here are the basic steps to follow:

• Extract the DLC.zip file into a safe location.
  
  
• Merge the extracted BQ2 folder with the game's existing BQ2 folder. (Or simply copy and paste the contents of the new BQ2 folder into the older one).
  
  
• Say yes when asked if you’d like to overwrite or replace some of the older files.

That’s it, you’re good to go! If you still need help or think something went wrong, please ask me.

F.A.Q.

Q. How do I access the new DLC content?

A. First, you need to beat the game’s main story, and reach the “Epilogue” section. Then, simply head south from Tumblr, or follow the Artistry Highway northeast from DeviantART. When you start seeing large fields of sunflowers, then you'll know that you've made it into the new areas.  

Q. Will there be any more DLC after this?

A. It’s very unlikely, for a few reasons. Not only have I used up all my remaining ideas, but I’ve also hit an engine limitation. RMXP games can have up to 999 map files, and this DLC puts BoxxyQuest at 997. I couldn’t squeeze in much more, even if I wanted to!  

Q. My game crashes immediately, with a “Transitions Module” script error!

A. If this happens, then you didn’t install the files in the right places. Make sure that the "rgss_addon.dll" file is located in the main BQ2 folder – the same place as "game.exe" and the other .dll files.  

Q. I have more questions, or need help with something in the DLC!

A. As always, feel free to email me at shrimpses@gmail.com. Or join the BoxxyQuest Discord server to chat with other players at https://discord.gg/BcfyDSV.
