Mr. Bloke intro quest, campaign system structure, lore tracking ideas, hub world poll planning

Tutorial

Mr. Bloke & the Greeble Rift

• Player wakes up in Mr. Bloke’s cottage. Bedside spawn.
• Bloke gives a quest to find his lost Greeble inside a rift.
• Rift includes different room types (stable, unstable, chaos).
• The quest walks the player through basic systems: weapons, food, portal keys.
• Reward could be an old adventurer’s kit (tent/sleeping bag).
• Optional skip point lets players jump past the tutorial if they want.

Mr. Bloke

• Proposed as the creator of the Rift system, now too old to enter them.
• Could act as quest giver / campaign guide.
• Might represent a guild responsible for Rift safety or study.

Campaign System

Lore + Replayability

• Campaigns can be modular, tied to guilds or world events.
• They should tell a story, not be the story. Each campaign stands alone.
• Each campaign set in the same world that we've built.
• Lore would be filled out over time through collectible content.
• Journal/logbook systems were suggested to let players track stories, stats, and trophies.

Lore Tracking Features

• Idea for an Log/Journal/Guild that records discovered lore and player achievements.
• Could include trophies, terrariums, or interactive microbiomes unlocked by completing specific rift types.
• Interacting with trophies could display related lore.
• Partial inspiration from games like Until Dawn or Subnautica where col
