FarQuest

Welcome to FarQuest
A role-playing game of medieval fantasy. Select from a hero class of Knights, Wizards, Huntresses, or be an Assassin. Explore a rich world of story-telling, battles, and surprises as you journey to see the King. He's asked for your help and you fear you're running out of time.

A letter arrived, it's from the King... he's asking for your help. You set off to the castle to speak with the King but you discover your journey there is frought with obstacles. Indeed, something is stirring in the kingdom and your haste quickens. When you arrive at the castle, you discover that there is nary a soul nor sound in the streets and you begin to investigate.

Game Mechanics

Storyline paths
Diverging paths for the storyline created complexity in the client-side JavaScript.

Battle - instances
Generating a battle instance during the story line, we fetch the enemy.id and render them to the HTML page.
(Please see /public/js/character.js to review the code in more detail: generateFight(); on line 162)

Battle - fight mechanics
Here you can see the some of the factors we're taking in during each turn and action. We calculated the turn-based fight taking in the characters attributes and mixing in RNG. This effects the damange output, defense, chance to miss, etc.

(Please see /public/js/character.js to review the code in more detail: fight(); on line 190)

We are gamers at heart and this is our first game built together and it was such a great learning experience of all the inner workings of a game of this scope. Then we started to think of the magnitude of our favorite games of the past and the effort and planning it takes to build those. Wow!
