Workshop: Interactive 2D storytelling with Unity

Storytelling is a very important aspect of game development. The most common storytelling tool is dialogue system, which is used in many games to deliver conversations and narratives to the player. This workshop focuses on developing a simple dialogue system with Unity User Interface (UI) components. The system includes dialogue, choices and character art display. Through this workshop, we would like to demonstrate some techniques of system design in game development, and guide you through making a fully functional dialogue system, together with a simple storytelling game.
