What is DevQuest?
It's simple: They're achievement development-related QUESTS that act like an MMO. These quests do not have a time limit, and by completing each one you earn a site badge. You can start a quest today, one week later, or even three months later: they will still be there for you!
How do I mark my progress?
A document will be created for you to fill out as a participant. Upon completion of a quest, DevQuest will verify that you have completed the quest’s requirements, and you will be awarded the site badge for it.
When will new quests be created?
New quests will be added when deemed necessary by DevQuest, You will probably get a ping/notification when this is done.
Is anything retroactive?
Except Vet Dev time and work you put in, no. The goal of dev events even at their core was to help clean the site.
Can we suggest quests?
DM DevQuest the idea and it will be discussed and voted upon as a group.

After some discussions and votes, some addendums were made to a couple DevQuests:
![[DevQuest 006] The Unwanted](https://media.retroachievements.org/Images/045565.png)
![[DevQuest 011] The Genesis of RA](https://media.retroachievements.org/Images/049821.png)
![[DevQuest 006] The Unwanted](https://media.retroachievements.org/Images/045565.png)
[DevQuest 006] The Unwanted (Events)
- Intellivision was removed from automatic re-spin eligibility. Updates to the core resolved the issues that made it eligible before. Also, a dev can now re-spin ONCE if their claim expires or if they drop the set. However, if they drop the set, they will still need to wait until the claim would have expired. For example: Claim is made on September 1st and then dropped on November 1st. The re-spin would still need to wait until December 1st. Remember that this can only happen once so choose wisely. Why the penalty? Because it keeps someone from doing re-spins until they get what they want, which is the exact opposite of what the DevQuest is about :)
![[DevQuest 011] The Genesis of RA](https://media.retroachievements.org/Images/049821.png)
[DevQuest 011] The Genesis of RA (Events)
- Yes, there's still a lot of Mega Drive/Genesis games that don't have sets, but considering it was the first supported console on RA, there are still tons of sets that are in dire need of repair and/or expansion. For this reason, major/significant revisions are acceptable for this DevQuest. Collabs are also acceptable, but they will not stack with DevQuest 10.

[DevQuest 017] RA World Cup (Events)
how about this game 
NBA Live 2001 (PlayStation)
fellas?!
This event is probably only one and last chance for this game to get achievements :)

had it's name changed from "Summer Set Repair" to "Retro Renovator". As such a the Icon and Badges no longer fit the theme. Gollawiz made a new Icon and Badges. Below is a backup of the old ones. Until we meet again Samus.
