Variable 0216: Number of Items Collected For Quest #3 number of monsters killed or amount of gold collected). I have an entire game made with about 50 maps, because I have the story line, and characters made, its just the part of variables and conditional branches and the sequences that are giving me troublesĪ trick I use is to have all the player's progress through a linear quest be tracked by a single variable - though I also space these variables 5 or 10 apart in case I need to track additional values related to that quest (e.g. Not to late, or vital information might be missing in the main story. Not to early, cause it will spoil storyline. And when they become important, suddenly you have to keep track of when side quest happen. If you make them directly connect with the storyline, they become to importent.

If the main story is: Gather a party to find and kill a dragon on a mountain top (yes, like the Hobbit. I try to make my side quests independed from the main story, but there are links, since they are happening at the same time and in the same town as the main story. Once I know their background, I can think of something they would want the player to do. Like: Age, profession/class, likes/dislikes, relation to main character and/or to other characters. (if it didn't have one yet) That can be just a few lines. Then I write a background story for this character. I take a new character, or a character that is already in the game. Here is what I do, when I make side quests.
