What I Did

For this game, I developed the world in which the mall was in. This involved creating the mall and all of the npcs in it. I also made a dialogue system that tied to the quest system and could even have unique branches of conversations to interact with other characters. I also made backstories for all of the characters and worked to combine everyone’s work together.

What I Learned

I learned a lot about working on a team with this game. I helped develop tasks based on assessing how good each person is at any specific type of thing. I learned how to develop a game’s story through the use of environmental choices and npc dialogue. I also learned how to make dialog systems and other systems to help the hub world feel more fulfilled.
