CT Quest System — RPG Maker MZ Quest Plugin & Visual Editor
CT Quest System is an RPG Maker MZ quest system plugin by Cynthia Tools. It helps game developers create and manage main quests, side quests, optional or required sub-quests, quest objectives, NPC quest givers, rewards, and quest progression without building the entire quest framework with events alone.
The plugin includes a full-screen visual quest editor opened with F7 during playtesting, an in-game quest journal, and a live objective tracker. It suits story-driven JRPGs, fantasy adventures, and RPG projects that need multiple connected quests.
What can you build with CT Quest System?
- Main and side quests: Organize story progression and optional adventures.
- Parent quests with sub-quests: Add up to five sub-quests per parent quest; mark each one required or optional.
- Objective tracking: Configure multiple quest objectives and completion requirements, then show progress to players.
- NPC interactions: Use RPG Maker MZ events to let NPCs offer quests and accept turn-ins.
- Prerequisites and quest chains: Control when quests become available and how quests progress.
- Rewards: Set rewards for completing quests and sub-quests.
- Quest journal and live tracker: Help players review active quests, objectives, progress, and turn-in status.
- Save integration: Keep quest progress in the game's save data.
Built-in visual quest editor
Create, edit, and organize quests in a full-screen editor accessible during RPG Maker MZ playtesting. Set objectives, requirements, progression, and rewards in one visual workflow. The editor is included with CT Quest System; you do not need a separate quest-editor plugin.
RPG Maker MZ quest journal and tracking
Players can use the quest journal to review their quests, while the on-screen tracker shows active objectives during gameplay. Quest givers and turn-ins can be connected to RPG Maker events through the plugin's commands.
