Custom Quest System

DSPACE includes an in-game editor that lets you build, test, and submit quests without hand-editing JSON files. This page outlines the workflow and links to detailed guides.

Features

QuestForm editor - Create nodes, options, and upload images through a friendly UI that stores pictures locally as data URLs
Schema validation - The editor validates required fields and dialogue structure before saving
Preview mode - See how your quest plays before saving
Simulation testing - Run automated checks to verify quest logic before saving
Submission forms - Paste quest or bundle JSON into /quests/submit or /bundles/submit to open a pull request

Creating quests

Open the quest creator from the in-game quests page (/quests/create)
Add nodes, options, and optional images in the form
Resolve validation errors highlighted by the editor
Preview the quest to ensure everything works

For writing tips and narrative conventions, see the Quest Development Guidelines.

Submitting quests

When your quest is ready to share:

Export your quest JSON from /contentbackup (Prepare backup → Download backup)
Paste the quest JSON into /quests/submit (or the bundle JSON into /bundles/submit)
Enter a GitHub token to open a pull request

See the Quest Submission Guide for step-by-step instructions.
