●Planned Milestones and sprints and managed documents for the project. Project management was done using ClickUp. Version control was done using a personal Perforce server hosted on my laptop.
●Wrote custom multi-mode editors and implemented editor widgets using Slate.
Game Launcher
●Wrote a simple game launcher for my Unreal Engine projects using WPF in C# using .Net Core 8.
●Used WebClient to download new versions of game files hosted on google drive.
●Used Process class to start a process for the selected game.
Runtime NPC dialogue generation using generative AI
●Conducted personal investigations to understand ConvAI and InWorld to use generative AI tools to generate unscripted dialogues for NPCs.
●Created characters, setup NPC information on ConvAI and InWorld web interface and provided contexts for dialogues.
●Used tools to convert player voice to text, sent them to the ConvAI and InWorld servers using respective API endpoints, received generated dialogue reply as text and generated voice for NPCs using generated text.
Parkour movement system for characters
