Quick Quest Log - Quest System

Most games do not need a narrative framework. They need to define objectives, track progress, unlock the next quest and save it - without spending a week on plumbing. Quick Quest Log is exactly that: a visual chain editor for designing quests, a journal your players actually read, and a plain C# quest log you drive with a single call.

DESIGN IT AS CARDS

Lay quests out on a board, Alt-drag from one card onto another to make it a prerequisite, and let Auto Layout arrange the whole chain. Loops are detected and refused. Built-in validation calls out quests with no objectives, duplicated quests, empty targets, and quests no player could ever reach.

EVERY OBJECTIVE, EDITED IN PLACE

Pick a card and write its lines right there in the side panel. Five built-in kinds - Collect, Defeat, Reach, Talk, Deliver - plus Custom for anything else. Reorder them, retarget them, and set how they behave: a hidden line that only appears once the one above it is done, or a failure line that ends the quest the moment it completes.

A JOURNAL YOUR PLAYERS READ

Drop the journal into your scene and it is finished: category tabs, the quest list with live progress bars, and a detail pane holding the briefing, the objective checklist, the reward and the Accept / Track / Abandon buttons. Locked quests stay in the list and say what is standing in the way - "Requires level 5", "Finish A Village in Need first". A HUD tracker follows the quest the player is tracking, ticks its objectives as they happen, and hides itself when there is nothing to show. Four built-in themes - Midnight, Parchment, Slate and Ember - restyle both views at once.

ONE CALL, EVERY QUEST THAT CARES

Gameplay reports what happened. The log works out which quests it moves.

QuestLogContainer.Main.Defeat("wolf");

QuestLogContainer.Main.Collect("moonherb", 5);

Objectives tick, quests complete, the next links unlock and auto-start quests fire - without another line from you. No per-quest wiring, no listener soup.

CHAINS THAT BRANCH AND GATE

Prerequisites with AND or OR logic. Level requirements. Repeatable bounties. Auto-starting openers. And either/or groups, where taking one quest closes the other for good - branching stories without hand-rolling a state machine.

CLEAN UNDER THE HOOD

The journal is optional. Underneath it is a plain C# model: quest states, objective counts, unlock rules and change events, with no scene and no Unity lifecycle - drive it straight from gameplay code and draw your own interface instead if you would rather. Save and load to JSON, PlayerPrefs or a file. Rows are keyed by quest id, so editing your board later never corrupts an existing save.

NO DEPENDENCIES

uGUI and Unity's built-in font. Every sprite the journal draws is generated at runtime, so there is no art to import. No TextMeshPro, no Input System, no third-party packages. Works on Built-in, URP and HDRP.

GET RUNNING IN 30 SECONDS

Tools > Quick Quest Log > Setup Window. Create Demo Board gives you nine quests showing every rule - an auto-starting opener, a repeatable bounty, a hidden objective, a branching either/or choice, level gates and a line that fails its quest. Create Demo Scene wires the journal, the tracker and a bar of stand-in gameplay buttons to it, already populated in the Scene view before you press Play.

Full C# source included.
