Virtual Market

Gameplay and tooling Engineer

Hikky Co Ltd focuses on sales events in Virtual Reality through their yearly "Virtual Market" or "Vket" events. My main task was designing an interactive NPC character with customizable events, dialogue, and actions depending on which sales booth you were closest to. As much of the team is Japanese, all of my tooling needed to be as expansive and intuitive as possible to let them make content with my tooling. Expanded versions of these tools were written after I finished the Medium article discussing it, where dialogue and other text is imported directly to Unity from Google Sheets csv links.

For more information, here is an article I wrote on Medium for Virtual Market showcasing this NPC tool:
