What is "Just Your Average Quest"?

Well, it's not as the title suggests.

Join honorary knight Marissa as she travels to the capitol of Thyala in search of the long lost princess. Meet many different adventurers on your quest, and get to know them through their unique stories and gameplay styles! Challenge high difficulty boss battles and connect with other players through planned online features.

You can view a video showcasing the graphics here!

What makes this game unique?

RPG upgrades + Castlevania gameplay.

This game seeks to combine traditional RPG elements with the gameplay style of games like Castlevania. Each character will have two unique skills and a unique ability that is exclusive to them. Buffs and status afflictions will be necessary to clear high level, end game content.  Clearing high difficulty quests will allow you to create weapons that greatly increase the strength of your character, and will prepare you for later content. 

Free to play.

The game will be free to play, but will have optional in-game purchases for those looking to potentially add new characters and gear to their roster. Marissa will be a free character available for anyone who picks up the game!

Content Updates.

There will be both story modes, and highly challenging quests against bosses. Just Your Average Quest will receive frequent updates, so don't worry about running out of content.

What characters are there?

Marissa.

Meet Marissa! A master swordsman, she has no trouble landing several hits per second.

Her first skill is Bleeding Edge, which releases a forward thrust of the sword and inflicts bleed. This effect cannot stack.

Her second skill is Hundred Slashes, which increases strength by 10% for 20 seconds.

Her unique ability is Ever Stronger. Increases strength by 5% every 10 seconds. This can stack up to three times.

Arvis.

Meet Arvis! The king of Vastoa, he'll stop at nothing to rescue his daughter from the clutches of evil. Friend to all, he's even managed to find his very own wolf companion!


His first skill is Friend to All, which summons a wolf that attacks enemies, and has its own health.

His second skill is Hero's Charge, which deals damage to foes from a distance. 

His unique ability is Wolf's Companionship. While a wolf is on the field, grants 20% strength. Once a wolf dies, inflicts -30% strength for 10 seconds.

Special Thanks

Friends.

I'd like to thank all of my friends for their support of this project. It really does mean the world to me. 

Inspirations. 

I'd like to thank the YouTube channel Dragalia Foundry, both for being a positive support and also for being an inspiration behind my YouTube videos.

Supporters.

I'd like to thank Amber, who has supported me financially. This project would not have been possible without her support. 

You.

Thank you for taking the time to read about this project. My favorite aspect of game design is not creating games, but sharing them with the world. So thank you for reading and showing interest in the project. That being said, I hope you have a nice day and look forward to seeing future updates.

Update: Version 0.0.1

Main Menu.

Created a main menu with a parallax background and scrolling camera. In future updates it will select from a random assortment of backgrounds and showcase characters from the player’s collection.


Multiple Characters.

Added support for multiple characters. Many systems have been updated to make adding characters simpler and faster. 


Icons.

Skill icons have received slight changes. The game itself also has a new icon when appearing in folders or on the desktop.


Beta Release?

Will launch around version 0.5.0. We’re still a ways off from then, so please be patient. The game remains in a non-playable state.


Future Updates:

0.0.2 

The character collection system will be added. This means that characters can be restricted based on whether or not they have been recruited. 
The home menu will be created. It will contain a variety of different menus for quests, upgrades, recruitment, and more. The home menu will also display a chosen character in the player’s collection walking through town.


0.0.3

The second character, Arvis, and third unannounced character will be added to the game. Both characters will receive their respective trailers alongside a new presentation of various features and gameplay. All current character’s skills and unique abilities will be added to the game. Skill cooldowns will also be introduced.


0.0.5

Various enemies and their mechanics will be added. Stage mechanics will also be implemented. 
Chapter 1 of the main story will be added. Only portions of it will be showcased once 0.0.5 is completed.
The fourth currently unannounced character will be added and will have a trailer to accompany them.


1st Closed Alpha Test

10 copies of the game will be given out to select testers. All testers will be required to answer any surveys given to them, or must forfeit the ability to join another Closed Alpha or Beta test. 
If interested, please reach out to me using whatever methods are readily available to you. Surveys will be brief and are for the sake of improving the game.
This Alpha test is scheduled to begin before the end of the month.


Thank you.

As always, thank you for supporting this project.
