Fable Legends

Project Description

A lot of my work on Fable Legends involved creating gameplay systems designed to be extendable using the Unreal Engine 4 Blueprint script systems. I worked a great deal on the villain and hero interaction systems. Creating features that allowed the player to move, activate or otherwise manipulate items in the world.  I also set up a large set of gameplay statistic systems in order to track player actions. I later used these systems in order to build a modular unlock system that was  used to support Xbox Live Achievements.

For the tutorial needed by the game I created a flow based system that allowed scripters to set up dependencies between various tutorial elements  that in turn helped the players through the game. I also created user interfaces for a handful of systems; including objective displays, minigames, tutorials and game notifications. Daily communication with producers, artists, scripters and the services/muliplayer programming teams provided great  insight into the complexities of game development.
