Gameplay Systems
Customer AI & Navigation
Designed and implemented customer navigation systems using Unity NavMesh to create believable tavern behavior. NPCs dynamically moved between tables, service areas, and interactable stations while reacting to tavern layout changes and player progression.
Idle Economy & Automation
Developed management and automation mechanics allowing the tavern to continue generating income passively. Systems were designed to reward optimization, upgrade planning, and efficient tavern layouts.
Tavern Expansion & Progression
Built a progression system centered around expanding and upgrading the tavern over time. New rooms, furniture, and gameplay areas unlocked progressively to create a stronger sense of growth and long-term player motivation.
3D Tavern Environment Design
Designed and assembled the tavern’s 3D environments with a focus on readability, player flow, and cozy medieval atmosphere. Layouts were structured to support both gameplay functionality and visual progression.
