I’m creating an adventure game taking place in a small village. I need some ideas for NPCs, quests, and buildings. So far, I have a merchant NPC who gives you the quest to bring him a vegetable from the farm. In return, you get some cash. I also have a neighbor NPC who just talks to you I guess.
Welcome to the forums, and you could have a quest that has you search for a magical vegetable along with some bounties from the merchant that tell you to go find other vegetables and items.
You could add an NPC who pays you for every vegetable you bring him, and you could have an NPC who sells weapons like pickaxes that you can use for fighting things like bosses or digging up more vegetables.
