General FAQ

>what is your process?

i vividly imagine the panels like a movie sequence and change it depending on suggestions. usually, i draw the panels first because of this then write afterwards. if the dialogue comes to me first then i will write that then draw the panels to "match up." but my overall process is based off of what "feels right" to me.

>how do you use suggestions?

in the past i went by popular vote and by what was the most in-character. now, i try to incorporate every suggestion as much as possible. if it comes down to a decision, then it will come down to popular vote. unless something funnier is suggested.

>will you continue hot singles?

for a first quest i was a bit over-ambitious... i would like to continue it in the future but to what extent, i have no clue, as the story was a lot looser in concept.

>in the beginning of DIMENSION 1-13LL, there was the option to kill Eiko, would she have died if that option was chosen?

yes. i know that sounds cruel, but i try my best to be respectful of peoples suggestions and the options that i provide. DIM 1-13LL is a brutal story after all. and i knew what Eiko represented to the story as both a character and a concept. if she was killed in the first part then well, we would have an entirely different story, wouldn't we? i imagine closer to a mystery unraveling her plots and past, but who knows.

>how does dimensional travel work normally?

depending on who manages the dimension, there are a few different ways. DB is akin to the TSA of dimensions, they are there to ensure everyone has "permission" to enter said space with valid proof in the form of VISAS or other documentation approved by their host dimension and others cooperating. this is typical for those that come from worlds where dimensional travel is possible on a.. normal day to day basis. there will be designated spaces for this in those dimensions. usually magitech, regular spells, or summoning rituals will be used. or, the angel transports you there directly. there are some spaces where you can just "walk cross" and will technically be in a different dimension, but you usually won't notice.

if you were to travel to a dimension not regulated by DB, then you are at the mercy of whatever multi-dimensional being curates that space. most wont care or even notice as long as you aren't stirring up trouble. just don't pull an isekai protag.

>is currency universal in 1-13LL?

no. unfortunately. there are some currencies that are regularly exchanged, but cash in one area can mean nothing in another. vex uses a currency converter to work around this.

>does vex have a home base?

technically yes. given the nature of vex's AW, they won't get there every time they want as it's uaully a pure luck of the draw. but there are worlds that vex will have a higher chance of appearing in and their home base is one of them. it is not their origin dimension.

>can vex die?

yes. everyone can die. even multis. the nature of their deaths follow different rules.

i am endlessly fascinated by the questden genealogy that comes from people making quests after being inspired by other quests. it seems particularly prominent with FRACTAL since he has a relatively big nonquest audience that draws from the, for lack of a better word, tumblr crowd as opposed to the vintage furry 4chan crowd.

if someone out there has a lot of free time, they could do a study on how many quests have been created seemingly inspired by others. it would be subjective because many quests die in the womb and we don't know the authors' original inspirations.

this wasn't really a question, it's just cool to see the ripple effect of art in a relatively small internet community. you draw good, best of luck continuing dimhell

>>143854
why thank you! i will admit FRACTAL was the reason i found questden in the first place via a tumblr post. i had read rubyquest before, but a specific mirrored site version that did not directly lead to questden of old. Acid Soup was the first "official" quest i read in that sense and i had lurked around for a while in 2016 then fell off and came back around 2020.

i do think the writing styles of quest authors give away their origins/inspirations the best, but i wouldnt be the best guy making that graph either lol.

your quests were also some of my newer inspirations! you died and you lived are my particular favorites.

I just want to congratulate you on creating your quest discussion thread.

>>143856
thanks!! it felt like about that time

I would just like to say that your most recent slide 5/8 is fucking sick and I've made it my phone background.

thank!! hearing that made my day

due to the nature of me being picky over minor details and compositions that dont "feel right," i have panels that end up rejected. here are a few.

>>143964
Cool!

For a stealth approach I think we could use a bit more info:
Are there any rival gangs around (or random street punks) that could be bribed to cause a distraction to occupy the bites?

Would it be possible to get on top of the elevator without raising the alarm?

this might be too silly, but would it be possible to climb up the outside of the building?

>Are there any rival gangs around (or random street punks) that could be bribed to cause a distraction to occupy the bites?
The closest other gangs Vex knows are the Bulls and the Orobros. Vex has contact information for a few members of both. It won't take much to bribe someone, but it will take time for them to be bribed and to get them closeby.

>Would it be possible to get on top of the elevator without raising the alarm?
Can't answer this one unless someone tries it.

>would it be possible to climb up the outside of the building?
This was an option Vex originally thought of. They still technically can, but Eiko is not adapt at doing so. You can of course still try and help her climb through some type of aid, but there are risks.

not sure if this is the best way to ask, but for those that read DIM 1-13LL, does it feel like the prompts are too loose or restricting?

giving good prompts is still something that i'm working on improving so i want a better gauge on where to work on

that's the tricky part of quest writing I'm finding. I think you've got it down pretty well.

Is it alright if I use this as a porn parody of the book inspired from your quest?

LORE DUMP: VEXS REGENERATION (1/3) OMNI 2025/09/24(Wed)22:23 No. 144281 ID: a6de65

i hope to do this with some other aspects that are not touched on directly in 1-13LL, but given the recent update i wish to extrapolate more on how vex's regeneration functions.

ahem. first thing's first. vex's regeneration is akin to a conditional immortality. so long as either their brain or their heart is intact, they will not die from any injuries sustained. meaning, if you stabbed them in the chest repeatedly, they will recover because you forgot to get their noggin too. vice versa applies.

when injured, their body will recover to their last "default" state. usually, their default is what their body was like before the injury occurred. it will also heal in the most "efficient" way possible, so if they lost a small part of their body, it will just regenerate that limb entirely.

LORE DUMP: VEXS REGENERATION (2/3) OMNI 2025/09/24(Wed)22:25 No. 144282 ID: a6de65
File 175877790618.png - (86.70KB , 1200x900 , loredump2.png )

if vex is injured more severely, such as a cut off limb, they have about 6-12 seconds to reattach that limb before their body will start to regenerate it entirely. if they lose a limb, it will regenerate in uneven sections from the root of the injury downward; from the skeleton, nerves, muscle, then ending at the skin. the entire process, despite size, will be finished in seconds. the longest limb for them to regenerate is their entire head, which will take 18-24 seconds on average.

the speed at which they heal is dependent on three factors:
- how much they've eaten
- how tired they are
- their current state of mind

vex has a precise control over their healing factor when they choose to. at will, they can slow down the regeneration of an injury or stop it entirely. their injuries heal at the fastest rate possible by default, so they cannot make it go any faster.

File 175877820672.png - (73.95KB , 1200x900 , loredump3.png )

each time they regenerate, their body uses up a mix of magic and bodily cells. there is a limited "pool" of magic that vex has as a caster, which can determine the amount of times they can regenerate. however, most of the limitations come from their body itself. much like how the body will use nutrients from food to convert into energy, their body will follow a similar process until nothing of excess is available, then cannibalize other already existing parts of the body to feed further regeneration. in essence, they get a bit skinnier every time they regenerate, which will translate into steady exhaustion until they rest and eat.

when vex is injured by foreign objects, their body will work to "expel" the object as it heals. no body likes bullets and all that. buuut if his body for some reason cannot expel it, it will heal around the object. this rarely happens, and if it does, vex extracts it later.

>if the speed changes based on the injury, why does it only cost -1 STAMINA per injury despite size?

the downside of vex's regeneration is that their body doesn't know how to differentiate the "hits" per say. when it is hurt, it is hurt, and their body panics. another way to say it is that their body throws a max level heal/full restoration at itself every time it is hit, no matter if it is a papercut or their entire head. the formula of what is used from their magic or their body changes based on the injury, but overall remains equivalent. bigger injuries expend more of their body, while smaller ones expend more magic.

does that sound dumb? their body doesn't think so.

>what about broken bones/dislocation?

their body will know to return to their "default" state before the injury and will shift accordingly. "injuries" that are naturally caused by the body being broken down by everyday use are exempt. there is still back pain in their future if they don't stretch.

>are there after effects?

soreness, muscle strain, ghost pain, itchiness, etc. mostly hunger. a lot of hunger.

What would happen if vex eaten his own hand? Would he still be hungry?

funnily enough, it would be a temporary solution! if he was starving and desperate enough post-regeneration, he could have some light cannibalism of a finger or two, then consciously slow down the healing of the wound to prevent himself from getting hungry again. by doing so, he will "feed" the hunger, but only up until his hand regeneration uses up all those new calories.

vex can't stop a wound from regenerating for too long though or it won't regrow again.
