Ending the final semester with some finishing touches. The team made an excellent effort to get all the work done, this could not have been done without the team's collaboration altogether. It was an interesting experience, one in which I would have never imagined myself being apart at the start of last year. The project has truly come a long way from the first build and it's far from what we first envisioned, however, we are happy with how it turned out, even if it's not perfect. It was a great experience working with everyone on my team, and I want to thank them for a great couple of months.
My work this past week was character dialogue for the last level on two characters, the hippo's wife and the bird's mom. I had to make sure the dialogue connected to the products we have and that it was just interesting enough to be engaging. Coming up with the products was the most interesting part. Now I'm not sure If ill ever decide to take on a narrative role again.... probably not as much as I appreciate a good story in shows and games. However, I did not mind the experience as it was quite an insightful journey overall. I think my main takeaway is that it is easier to put yourself in the mindset of the character you are dialoguing with but tougher to create multiple different personalities for other characters. It is crucial to differentiate between different characters and their personalities, otherwise, each of your characters' personalities will mesh together. Different characters with unique personalities is ultimately what will make a more interesting narrative. This is what I have learned from reading stories. The characters are what captivate the reader the most, if the characters fail to do so, the reader will not be as hooked or interested in the narrative.
