Axon.Quest - Node-Based Quest Framework

Axon.Quest is a high-performance, architecturally-driven framework built for developers who have outgrown "tutorial-grade" assets.

While most quest systems rely on slow string lookups and fragile event chains, Axon.Quest uses a High-level architectural approach to ensure your game remains performant, debuggable, and scalable from the first quest to the last.

🚀 Why Choose Axon?

Most quest systems on the Asset Store are built for beginners, leading to performance bottlenecks and "event-chain" crashes in large projects. Axon was designed to solve these specific pain points using specific architectural patterns:

• ScriptableObject Driven

Quests are immutable assets, making them extremely memory-efficient and easy to manage across teams using Version Control (Git/Perforce).

• Linearized State Changes

The Command Queue ensures that quest transitions are processed sequentially. This prevents the "Recursive Event Death Loop" where Quest A completing triggers Quest B, which triggers Quest C, eventually crashing your stack.

• Decoupled Architecture

Separation between Definitions (ScriptableObjects) and Runtime Instances (Data). This makes save-game management and memory usage lean.

🎨 Visual Workflow for Designers

• The Quest Graph Editor

A modern, node-based editor built on Unity’s latest UIElements API. Map out your entire game’s progression in a powerful, intuitive node-based window. Visualize branching paths, prerequisites, and world-state changes instantly.

• Live Debugging

See quest states update in real-time within the editor graph while you playtest.

• Zero-Code Interaction

Trigger quest starts, completion logic, and rewards directly in the Unity Inspector.

• Setup Wizard

Go from a blank project to a fully configured Quest Manager in three clicks.

• Import/Export Wizard

Seamlessly move data between Unity and Excel/Google Sheets via CSV/JSON. Perfect for narrative teams working outside the engine.

🛠 Technical Details

• Event-Driven Hooks

Easily trigger gameplay effects (spawn NPCs, give rewards, play cutscenes) via a robust event binding system.

• Thread-Safe Persistence

Includes an asynchronous JSON save provider that uses "Atomic Writing" (Write-to-temp then rename) to prevent save-game corruption.

• Fault-Tolerant Events

Built-in "Safe Invoke" wrappers ensure that a single buggy UI script or listener won't crash your entire quest engine.

• O(1) Performance

High-speed registry lookups ensure that even with thousands of quests, checking a state is nearly instantaneous.

• 128-bit Optimized Backend

Uses a custom QuestId struct (four uint values) providing the uniqueness of a GUID with the speed of an integer. Zero-allocation comparisons and zero string-overhead.

• Clean Code

100% C# source code included, strictly adhering to SOLID principles, fully namespaced, and heavily documented.
