Canoeing For Love

I coded the dialogue system, including displaying dialogues, managing branching paths.

I implemented an observer pattern to decouple the dialogue system from other game systems.

Dialogue nodes trigger game events without hard dependencies, such as rendering visuals, playing sounds and updating values.

I drew the sprites for two characters and the portrait icons that are displayed in the user interface.

I achieved a dialogue system that stores and sends data to other systems, but I didn't consider the ease of editing. All dialogue was written in a verbose text file, following our JSON schema.

The observer pattern can be optimized, because dialogue nodes are sent to all systems regardless of relevancy.

This has inspired me to explore the creation editor tools to help designers write dialogue.
