← Back to project summary In The Loop
A closer look at the app, the systems I owned, and the features behind it.
What the game is
- A short narrative game where the loop is the mechanic: you replay the same party knowing more each time.
- Conversations are driven by a dialogue node graph authored as assets rather than hardcoded, with character portraits attached.
- An outfit and clothing system that the rest of the game can read from, so what you wear matters.
What is in it
- A dialogue manager over a node graph, plus a portrait UI that swaps with the speaker.
- An outfit manager and an outfit menu UI, with clothing items as their own assets.
- NPC controllers, a party manager and party scene controller, and a title and win scene around the core loop.
