Legend of Lostville 2024
Client
Eternal
Legend of Lostville was a narrative 3D mobile game for iOS. Players
played as a detective and chatted with AI NPCs in the town to uncover
mysteries. Each week, a new episode with a new mystery was launched for
players to solve. The AI personalities were powered by the AI framework
Inworld.
Legend of Lostville was built in Unity and launched on the app store in spring
of 2024.
Notable Contributions
- Developed scalable Unity-side infrastructure for dynamically loading 'episode' data from a REST API at runtime. This allowed us to add new episodes and content each week without pushing a build.
- Built the Unity-side 1-1 chat feature with AI NPCs. This included functionality for sending and receiving messages to the AI NPCs through a REST API and implementing chat window UI from Figma designs.
- Built a flexible hint system that would evaluate the player’s current game state and display a relevant hint accordingly.
