PROFILE
Jo Shumaker
During a two-month period, Shumaker enhanced the Games-at-Northeastern/What-Remains-of-Me repository by developing a flexible dialogue system for scene 1.4.1, replacing rigid dialogue flows with a handler-based approach to improve narrative pacing and designer control. Using Unity, C#, and JSON, Shumaker implemented modular dialogue scripting and applied mesh and material optimizations to boost visual fidelity and runtime performance. The work deepened player interaction and narrative engagement while simplifying future content updates. All changes were tracked through Git, ensuring traceability and maintainability. This engineering effort resulted in scalable scene management and streamlined integration of new narrative features without introducing bugs.
