Over a two-month period, Daan Waltheer developed and integrated advanced dialogue and quest systems for the GDD-Minor-GTV3A/The-Herd repository. He built a prototype Ink-based dialogue system with branching choices, combining Ink scripting and Unity UI development to create a user-facing workflow that supports dynamic, state-driven conversations. Daan refactored UI components for maintainability, added custom art assets, and addressed font rendering stability. In October, he extended the system to support quest progression, enabling context-aware NPC interactions and introducing a reusable Ink template to streamline content creation. His work demonstrated depth in C# scripting, narrative design, and asset management within Unity.
