⚔️ WEEKLY QUESTS

Brandon, young Pixel Adventurer…
Each week, a new quest will appear before you.
Some quests are small.
Some require courage.
All of them help you grow stronger in the ancient ways of Pixel Art and Game Creation.

You will complete one mission at a time — no rushing, no pressure.
Every quest you finish unlocks the next path, revealing more of your journey through the Island of Mixed-Up Feelings.

Announce your victory to Mommy, Keeper of the Checkmarks.
She will record your achievement and unlock the next quest on your path.

Prepare yourself, young creator…
Your journey grows stronger each week. 🌟🎮⚔️

Your mission has been revealed by the Brave Brain Council:
This Week’s Quest- Bringing Brandon into existence in the Pixel World!

🎮 Quest: Create Brandon’s 16×16 Sprite
Use your Idle Frame as your base and shape your character into different poses — one leg forward, one back, energy building, adventure calling.

🧪 Your Tools

  • The Pixel Grid

  • Your Brave Brain

  • Your creative heart

  • Piskel (your digital forge)

🧙‍♂️ Tips from the Old Masters

  • The pose does not need to be perfect.

  • Every pixel is a tiny spell you place with intention.

  • Brave artists make brave choices.

🎮 Quest: Program Brandon’s Movement in GDevelop

Using your sprites from Week 1, you will:

  • Import your Idle, Run, Jump, and Fall sprites

  • Create your first Animated Player Object

  • Give Brandon Animations:

    • Movement (left/right)

    • Running, Jumping, Falling, Landing

  • Test your animations in a mini-level


By the end of this quest, you will move your hero across the screen for the VERY first time.
This moment changes everything. 🌟


🔶 Your Moment of Power
When you press Play…
...and Brandon moves for the first time
…you will officially become a Game Developer, Brandon.
Not “learning to be.”
Not “almost there.”
You become one.
Your world is coming alive — and you built it with your own hands. 🌟🎮✨

🧰 Your Tools

  • GDevelop (your magic engine!)

  • Your Week 1 sprites

  • Your Brave Brain

  • Curiosity + a little patience

  • Mommy, Keeper of the Snacks and Debugging Support 😄

🧙‍♂️ Tips from the Old Masters

Small bugs are normal — they’re just little gremlins testing your courage.
If something doesn’t work, try again. You’re learning wizard-level skills.
Test your character often. Real heroes grow by jumping into the unknown.
Celebrate every moment where your sprite moves the way you imagined.
That’s pure game-developer magic.

🗺️ MONTHLY QUEST MAP

Brandon, Traveler of the Brave Brain Kingdom…
Every adventure needs a map.
Here, you will find the great Quest Path of your Pixel Art and Gaming Academy — all the lessons of this month, arranged like stepping stones on your journey.

You may follow your quests in order, one by one, as they unlock each week.
But you are also free to revisit any land you have already traveled.
A true creator learns from every path — old and new.

How the Quest Map Works

  • New quests unlock each week

  • Completed quests remain open, so you can return anytime

  • Future quests stay dimmed, waiting for the moment you are ready

🌙 This Month’s Legendary Lessons

Each section is a chapter in your tale — a place where you grow stronger, wiser, braver, and more skilled.

🌠 For the Adventurer Who Wants to Look Ahead
