Game Mechanics: In Pursuit of Happiness, pt.1

Here are some of Coobico's ubiquitous non-player-characters, from whom players can acquire quests.

Here are some of Coobico’s ubiquitous non-player-characters, from whom players can acquire quests; quests are an important part to Coobico, as they represent the players’ current tasks – from angling fishes for a local innkeeper, to digging out treasures, to building a new street or structure.
Upon completion of a quest the player earns in-game money and experience. What’s more, the avatar’s happiness-score is raised (players should always keep an eye on the current happiness of their avatars).



Judge Dantes
Can be found at the cityhall. Dr. Dantes acts a some kind of town council and issues new building permits and settlers’ quests to players.

Count Vrykulas
Dwells in the House on Haunted Hill with his hunchbacked deaf and mute manservant. The count is one of the island’s oldest inhabitants. In fact, nobody knows for sure how long he really resided there already. Rumour has it that Count Vrykulas puts a curse on his lesser fortunate guests every now and then.

Albert the Butler
Albert, Dr. Qubus old butler, occupies and maintains Qubus’ Mansion and its machines with a bulk of Q-Bots after their master’s disappearance in an alchemic accident. Albert also assists new players during their registration-process.

More NSCs to come in part two…
