Dialogue Systems
Technical Design
I worked on creating the Ambient Dialogue and refining the Main Dialogue System.
The purpose of the ambient dialogue was to be able to help sell the fantasy of a bustling city to players, creating various interaction opportunities for players as they explored the city of Heaven's Landing, and overall encouraging player exploration in Ao Shu by further filling up the world with liveliness.
I had looked towards games like the Persona Series as reference for RPG ambient dialogue systems that are scattered throughout a game level, subtly hinting to players of important in-game events or mechanics they could pick up.

Heaven's Landing - Airship Docks Level Iteration
I had gone in and done NPC passes and set dressing for the Heaven's Landing and Airship Docks areas of Ao Shu to make the areas feel alive.
​
With the Airship Docks, I wanted to make it feel like a busy space for dock workers as they prepared for the incoming airships, decorating the area with small storage ships containing the elemental crystals, to the machinery that is powered by them.
