Saving Time
Worked in a team of five with two artists, one writer, and one additional programmer to develop a simple story-driven RPG style game with a time-shifting mechanic. Developed in Unity, I primarily focused on designing systems for quests and sequencing, as well as supporting branching dialogue. Completed for the Global Game Jam in 2022, and later continued for a class project.
Role: Programmer
Sample Work - Dialogue System
The code included here is used to add dialogue to the game.
In order to achieve branching dialogue we used four different types of objects:
Lines - These simply contain a string and a speaker. These are displayed in the chat panel and are the most commonly used.
Actions - These trigger an event in the scene, as specified by the action object name that they are created with. An example of this is adding items to the inventory.
Decisions - These have a list of options to choose between, and cause a branch in the dialogue where different conversations can continue from each of the options in the decision.
Conversation - Effectively a linked list of Lines, Actions, and Decisions, as well as possibly other conversations. A conversation is loaded into the dialogue UI when a character speaks, and can be built in the Unity Editor for easy additions.
