Quests

Narrat games can have quests with dynamic objectives and a quest log UI

Quests

Quests can be defined in the quests.yaml config file:

yaml

quests:
  breadShopping:
    title: Bread Shopping
    description: The helper cat asked you to buy bread for him.
    objectives:
      bread:
        description: Buy bread for the helper cat.
      delivery:
        description: Deliver the bread to the helper cat.

The path of quests.yaml can be customised in the main config file:

yaml

quests: data/quests.yaml

Scripts can interact with the quest system:

Start Quest: start_quest breadShopping
Start objective: start_objective breadShopping delivery (for hidden objectives)
Complete objective: complete_objective breadShopping bread
Complete quest: complete_quest breadShopping
