Examples

Character Select and Island Select

The Character select was designed with parent and child selection choices without the ability to select the same character, this was populated at run time based off the character array object with the possibility of adding more in future updates (the structure is show in the conversation system below). The Island select has each island colour themselves in with a custom shader once unlocked, with an animated path between each island.

DissolveTex Manages how the image dissolves in,
Threshold 0 full colour - 1 full dissolve,
ColorizeColor and isToggled, apply s for the colour change after all islands are completed, 1 star is normal, 2 silver, 3 gold.

The islands themselves have on complete, particles shooting off to mimic fireworks, and an circular burst on unlock.

Minigame

The Dusting Mini game, used a base and editable at runtime texture, to mimic the look of dusting sand off an object, the interaction was limited to only two users at the same time, and the Sand would change colour depending on which Island a user was playing. 

Conversation System

The conversation system had to be built to be extremely modular and fit any character easily into it, along with possible changes to their sprites. To complete this task I created to array objects, One which contained all the Character information , and another for the dialog lines. Each island followed a strict conversation structure, the array object was built to reflect that.
