Chest Quest [BETA] SIGN UPS CLOSED!

WARNING: A LOT OF READING

CHEST QUEST

Welcome to Chest Quest, a turn-based RPG with a world map, six different classes, a ton of items, and of course, chests.

This is a new forum game that I hope will work well with the community. It is very new, hence the [BETA] in the title. In this game, you control a character in a grid-based environment. Your goal is to cooperate with 3 other players and defeat all sorts of grotesque monsters.

What a battle will look like

Again, this project is VERY NEW. Expect inconsistencies and exploits. Think of yourself as a tester.

I need four players in order to start the game. There will be a master PM thread for the four players to discuss their strategies, however, each player must create an additional topic to put in their controls. Before signing up, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. Thank you.

INSTRUCTIONS

-Did you read everything above? If you didn't, please do so now.
-Great, you are now excited for the game (I hope). Before everything else, scroll down a bit and you should see a ton of spoilers. Find one that says "CHARACTER INSTRUCTIONS". You will be greeted with even more spoilers. Those are the six classes you will be able to play with. Read through, and choose one that you like the most.
-Nice. I hope you have chosen a class by now. If you did, follow the template underneath to sign up. If four people have already signed up, please refrain from making a fifth. Only four will be accepted, as there are only four players allowed in the game.

TEMPLATE:

Player Name (AT MOST 5 CHARACTERS, NUMBERS AND LETTERS ONLY):
Class:

-If you have already signed up, here are some basic information about the game:
-You see those letters and numbers next to the grid? That's your movement tool. Kind of like chess.
-That is pretty much it, I think.

▼CHARACTER INSTRUCTIONS

Hello, welcome to the CHARACTER INSTRUCTIONS!

First and foremost, this is the profile:

At the very top is the name and the player's character icon. In this case, the player is a WIZARD.

The first bar shows the player's HEALTH and ATTACK. Each square represents A VALUE OF 2. Therefore, this player has a total of 8 HEALTH and 4 ATTACK. You probably noticed that one of the squares has two different shades of red. That is because the player has LOST 1 HEALTH. His health in this case is 7/8.

The second bar is MAGIC and DEFENSE, respectively.

WHAT DO THE STATS DO?
HEALTH is health. It is how much damage you can take before you die.
ATTACK determines how much damage you can do to another enemy.
MAGIC is affected by the player's SPECIAL. Each Special has a Magic Count. For example, if this Special has a Magic Count of 2, when used, 2 Magic will be taken away. It's good to know that magic regenerates every turn. Health doesn't, however.
DEFENSE subtracts itself from damage taken. If a monster attacks you with 3 damage and you have 2 defense, you will only receive 1 damage.

Finally, the bottom portion. The items from left to right are WEAPON, ARMOR, RING, and SPECIAL.

The weapon deals damage. Some weapons have buffs, but that will come later in the game as you progress.
The armor gives defense. Like the weapon, some have buffs, some don't.
The ring gives you a bonus for a stat. Some rings only give a health bonus, some rings give a defense and magic bonus.
The special is what makes the class itself special. Every class has a unique special with a unique usage. You will find out once you sign up and play this forum game.

The spoilers underneath are detailed explanations on each class.

▼THE ROGUE

Oh, the trickster rogue. Armed with a DAGGER, a PELT, and a dangerous POISON, this class has the LARGEST MOVEMENT AREA in the game! However, the attack range is smaller to balance it out.

(RED is the attack range, WHITE is the movement range. Take note of that!)

His poison is outlined in PURPLE. If an enemy stands within the borders of the poison, they take X amount of damage for each turn they stand on it.

If you like running around the battlefield, only getting close to attack enemies, the Rogue is right for you!

▼THE KNIGHT

Behind his incredibly strong armor lies a quiet, sophisticated man who's only goal is to loot EVERY SINGLE CHEST IN THE WORLD! Equipped with a SWORD, CHAINMAIL, and a SHIELD, this character has enormous defense and can block incoming damage, sometimes even removing defense from other enemies!

His shield, when used, outlines the block the knight is standing in with WHITE. The shield adds defense to the knight for an X amount of turns. More powerful shields can lower the defense of other enemies and can even buff surrounding players!

If your main strategy is supporting others while simultaneously annihilating your enemies, choose the Knight!

▼THE WIZARD

The older, the wiser. Containing a STAFF, a ROBE, and a SCROLL, the wizard harnesses the scroll's energy to create powerful attacks! He also has the largest attack range out of all six classes!

His scroll creates a bolt from the skies, damaging enemies to a great extent. Also, the little shapes on the scrolls also represent the shape the bolts come in. An area that has been bolted is outlined in YELLOW.

If you prefer to stay back and attack from far away, consider the Wizard!

▼THE MEDIC

Every forum RPG needs a great healer. That's why the Medic exists. Holding a DAGGER, a PELT, and an ORB, the medic can create a temporary healing station to benefit players standing on it! Some orbs may even damage enemies while it's at it!

The Orb's area of effect is outlined in RED. A player standing within the area is healed by X amount of health points.

If you're a long time admirer of support classes, please choose me, the Medic!

▼THE PIRATE

Ahoy, it's the Pirate! He uses a SWORD, CHAINMAIL, and a CANNON to decimate his enemies! He also has a great ability to snipe incoming enemies, giving him a range of 3 BLOCKS in the main cardinal directions!

His cannon shoots straight in four directions: up, down, left, and right. It has no cap to the range. You can be 10 blocks away from an enemy and still be able to damage it with a cannon. Think of this class as a sniper of some sort, even though he really is just a swashbuckling pirate.

If you like taking out enemies from a safe distance, become one with the Pirate!

▼THE SUMMONER

At last, it is the Summoner. She fights with a STAFF, a ROBE, and a SPELL. She also has a rather unique movement pattern, only being able to travel two blocks at a time, including diagonals.

Her spell summons an minion. The stronger the spell, the stronger the minion. When an minion is summoned, another one cannot be summoned again. She can control the minion like everything else, so that means she can control TWO characters at once!

If you like enslaving a poor being and guiding it like a puppet, become a Summoner!

▼ITEM INFORMATION (Optional read if you haven't signed up!)

BASIC INFORMATION:
-Unlike most RPGs, items are NOT dropped from monsters directly! Only special tiered items drop from monsters. Normal items come as UPGRADES in a LOOT CHEST.

The above picture is a loot chest.

The items from left to right are: an UPGRADE, a DEFENSIVE BAND, and a HEART-UP.

Upgrades upgrade an item from one tier to the next. However, the players must decide which item they should upgrade; either the weapon, the armor, or the special. It's only one item, for one class. This creates strategy and maximum cooperation between the players.

RULES

-You cannot stand on another player's place
-You cannot stand on an enemy's place
-There will be a PM thread for discussions. You must PM me another thread for the commands
-The main commands are:

MOVE
ATTACK
USE SPECIAL

Other commands that aren't as used frequently are:

USE [ITEM] (ON PLAYER, if it's a heart-up or mega-up)
UPGRADE [ITEM]

-Players may kick an abuser out if everyone but the abuser agrees. There also must be an explanation on why the abuser should be kicked out. If such event occurs, the abuser will be replaced by another player, usually a back-up
-You may only submit one main command at once. You cannot MOVE and ATTACK at the same time, but you can MOVE and USE ITEM, as USE ITEM is not a main command
-You cannot upgrade an item during a battle! They must be done before or after one.
-Cooperate with people! This game is built upon cooperation. It will be very difficult to play if everyone in the team does not talk to one another.
-The movement/attack ranges will not be provided for you. I tried to implement it in the map, but it ended up looking like barf. You must know your class' ranges by yourself.
-IF YOU DO NOT LIKE READING OR DID NOT FEEL LIKE READING ANYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE, PLEASE DON'T BOTHER SIGNING UP!

FAQ

What do I do?
stop

Can you make it easier?
No

Where's the tl;dr?
pls

Can there be multiple classes? Can there, let's say, be four knights all at once?
Sure. But I'll recommend making all the players choose different classes. It's much more fun that way.

This looks way too complex. I don't think it's worth playing at all. Is this game really that hard?
No. The hardest thing in the game is reading all of that ^. There's, what, four unique moves in this game? It's really not that hard.

Will this take long?
It all depends on the people playing. The game ends when all the players die. Oh, I forgot to mention, if you lose all your health, it's game over for you. You're kicked out of the game.

How come we can't see the movement/attack ranges of the monsters?
It's messy, and I am lazy.

EXTRA NOTES

There will be a command thing, you know, like that thing. There's a little box and it lists all the commands that have been inputted in the round, including the monster attacks and everything. Catch my drift?

Also, as this is in BETA, the next version will (hopefully) have more support for more people (5 PLAYERS? 6? 8???), maybe a redesigned profile, larger battle area...also more items. And classes.

bonus thing: the characters were supposed to be ee smileys and the enemies were supposed to be blocks and the bosses mutated octopus smileys, but then i realized how hellish it wouldve been for movement. then i tried making a tiny grid system and then expanding it super large for it to fit the smileys, but then i realized i had to either copy the smileys from the ee files or draw them myself...so i gave up and made everything pixelized hope you like it

ALSO THE WORLD MAP WILL BE IN THE OTHER TOPIC WHEN THE GAME BEGINS OK

Re: Chest Quest [BETA] SIGN UPS CLOSED!

IMPORTANT UPDATE TO KNIGHT CLASS:

shields no longer doubles defense! Instead, they add a certain amount of defense during a use. the reason why it is not doubled is because there are 8 shields you can get; if they all had double defense, the only thing other than that are effect buffs and added stats.

Re: Chest Quest [BETA] SIGN UPS CLOSED!

ok new update/thing on the game

it's going pretty well, i will definitely make a new round when all of the current players expire

so far ive noticed that:

• this game is TOO cooperative for forumers; no one really talks about a strategy but instead just does their own thing

• rules might be too scattered/hard to find, the players are having a tough time playing that way

• items and classes need more detail. enemies need provided attack/movement ranges

these things are being worked on for the next chest quest game:

• larger map

• more player support

• more detailed enemies/classes

• more items and consumables

if you have ideas just post in this thread or PM me
