Description
A big component of games is the story, but there are games out there where the draw is not the story, the characters, the setting or the gameplay (well, not as much, anyway). It's the sidequests, and that's why we're here today - to make a game based on quests!
What is a Sidequest?
Sidequests are quests that are, quite often, optional. They tend to add more meat to a game and often require the player to do particular tasks in exchange for treasure. Different kinds of sidequests tend to have particular expectations on how to complete them.
They are as follows:
- Fetch Quests: Find items and bring them back to the quest giver. These can be as simple as buying an item from a shop, or as hard as going through a whole optional dungeon in order to find a lost item. They can be integral to the story, or not at all a part of it, but the main component is "Go here and get this for me".
- Battle/Exploration/Tutorial Quests: Usually revolve around aspects of the battle system, exploration or tutorial, which help your character learn how to use various aspects of the game. Usually these are once-and-done miniquests that aim to teach by example. "Jump over 10 logs/Create 3 potions/Use Combo-attack 5 times against an enemy" are all examples of these kinds of quests.
- Kill Quests: Kill x number of enemies for me! These are the most simple of quests, usually, though they can be annoying if the monster in question is hard to find.
- Chain Quests: A series of quests that connect to each other. "Bring this to my friend > it's the wrong item, go get me the right one > take this back to the original guy > now use this to kill an enemy for me > etc". They usually can contain various different types of quests within them.
- Escort Quests: Protect a character or thing until you reach a specific area. Some of these will require in or out of battle protection.
- Gather Quests: Like the Fetch Quests, this requires that you gather a set amount of items, whether from enemy drops or interaction with the environment. They require finding specific items, collecting an amount and bringing them back to the quest giver.
- Timed Quests: You usually have a set amount of time to do this quest in, and usually it overlaps with other kinds of quests, but the main component is that race against the clock.
- Hybrid Quests: Quests tend to overlap various quest types to create a particular quest. For example, a kill quest that also doubles as an escort mission, where you must help an NPC to kill a set amount of monsters for them to pass a test.
- Story Quests: Not usually considered sidequests, these are quests that move the story forward, but can also be used to delve deeper into the lore or characterisation of the game world or characters. They usually involve any of the above quest types but are centred around the story/lore/characters/etc of the game.
- Miniquests are sidequests in miniature. They tend to require very little of the player beyond what they've already done in the game, and rarely (if ever) ask the player to leave the immediate area/zone in order to complete them. Such quests can include aspects of any of the above, however on a much smaller scale. For example, giving someone a potion, asking you to kill rats in a room, asking you to talk to someone in the house next door.
What are we doing?
In this event the idea is to create a game that focuses on what would usually be an optional aspect of a game. The story of the game can be quite short, in and of itself, as the main aspect will be the quests themselves. In this event you can structure the game to follow only sidequests, or have a short story as an aside to the quests, but the main component of the game, the main focus, must be the quests.
You will be tasked to create a game with at least ten sidequests within it, if not more, and those required ten must make use of ten of the listed quest names below, either as direct reference to the quests themselves, or as inspiration for them.
That is: Make game with 10 or more sidequests, but 10 of them must be directly inspired from the listed quest names below. An actual over-arching story/main quest for your game is completely optional.
Rules
- Start on the 21sth of January. Remember to set your site time zone so that you can check this page for the event start and end times!
- Games must be full games. As the story isn't the main aspect, you can have something very short.
- When you have enough details about your game, CREATE A GAME PAGE, at least a few days before the end of the event (remember, game pages need to be checked over. Give time just in case it gets denied and you have to fix something! Last minute game pages will be met with face-palmage and me crossly flailing my arms around asking "Why?! Why do they do this every goddamn event?!")
- End date is midnight of February 19th. Again, please set your site timezone preferences so that you can tell when that is!
- You may team up, if you so wish.
- You may be part of multiple teams, if you so wish.
- You must include a list of the named quests you used in a Read Me file in the game folder OR someplace on the game page.
- Your game must have at least 10 of the named quests below.
- Your game can have no main quest, or something short. The main component must be the quests, though.

Unity is now Officer Jenny...or the Love Police.
She's from Romance Detective! :DDDD
author=Delsin7
Work progressing. Doing write-up tonight, plus screenshots, working on a few skills, and a few other things. Should have the gamepage up tomorrow-ish.
Managed to get some interesting random repeat skills working fully last night- aka 5 am. Trying to get the last few base items done.
And then Mom's darn co-workers transfered the flu again. >.> I swear man, this is the most Winterrupted assignment thing I've ever worked on. Might have to cut some more stuff to make it in time. *waves goodbye at the gold mines* Will have to make an EX or improved version of game later on so I can add more cool things.
Yeah, I'm having to cut back on a few things, too. Good luck! Looking forward to seeing the gamepage! ^_^

The map is really good!! But the Lantern is a bit too strong....
Who is actually sure that he will end it in time? WHO IS ALREADY FINISHED?!
Yup, it could be a little ligther, and yep than a really nice plaza :D
Sure is a strong word, I'd just go with guess.
The statue is finally speaking with me though, so the pieces are finally falling together instead of apart. Oh and the sawblades are now working and killing, that made me realize that a few of those jumps are a witch to do.

Lots of progress! I'm starting to think I'll actually get this done in time. :D The infrastructure of the game is in place and implemented (menu, mechanics, script tweaks), the game maps are ready (barring a few graphic glitches that I'll fix if I have the time) - now I need to start eventing the quests. :D
Here's a preview of night-time plaza, with the Lantern on. :)

Things are starting to not look pretty over here, if every single addition keeps bugging as much as the current one are now I won't make it in time. x.x
Why you don't talk to me warp statue? I can't know if you don't tell me!
Double-post preventing edit:
Got a decent amount of stuff done.
Although I'm a dummy and made a part of the last section of the game, which won't help if I end up having to release a demo, last areas are the most fun to do 'cause you can spread sawblades all over the place. :D

Look, I'm flexible. As long as it's not part of the main story or absolutely -specifically- required, I'm fine with it being a little blurred lines. Honestly, just make sure there are 10 of the above list in it and that they're basically optional, and it's fine.

author=Libertyauthor=NoBody13That sounds like a main story. Side quests are, by nature, completely optional.
I have a question.
If you don't do the sidequests, and you can't continue the game, are they still sidequests?
If not, should the game just go on even if you don't "do" the quests?
Dunno if you got it....
I knew it................. So I need to make little main quests and if someone will also do the sidequests can do it or if not not, right? But the game continues even though you don't do the sidequests, and if you don't do them then the game finish early, right?
so... what if you had an area with 5 sidequests and you need to complete at least 2 to progress? Each individual sidequest would technically be optional.
In Chester, they're supposed to be an alternative to grind and help you to solve the main quest (which is very simple).
I started working on another game, which doesn't need custom graphics and battlers and everything. In that one, you have a hub map and four 'dungeons' (they are really small for reasons). Three of them have three side quests each and a main line task. The forth one is a palace and only fully available after the other ones are cleared. The tenth quest may be hidden here. Most sidequests are super simple (for example you find an item and give it to someone, triggers are more like this, cuz there is no journal).
I want to continue work on Chester after the event as I like the world I created for it. The game is supposed to be a unity/Ocean fan-game in some regards too, so I want to make battles enjoyable. There is a sea of water and the main character is a merchant's son, so the little fella can throw money on opponents.

I have a question.
If you don't do the sidequests, and you can't continue the game, are they still sidequests?
If not, should the game just go on even if you don't "do" the quests?
Dunno if you got it....
That sounds like a main story. Side quests are, by nature, completely optional.
I didn't know this was a thing.
Now I know this is a thing.
I will make a thing for the thing.
Thing.
