Philosophic Love [Mobile Porting]
ROLE
Lead Programmer
DESCRIPTION
I successfully ported Philosophic Love, a PC game available on Steam, to mobile. The process began by analyzing how Philosophic Love was developed using BKEngine, a story-editing platform for AVG games. I then transferred all the story scripts, including branches and variables, into a custom story editor I created. After exporting the story data to Unity, I integrated the UI logic with the story system. Within two months, I successfully completed the mobile port and eventually published it on Google Play and the App Store.

About This Project
Analyze How It was Made
This game was created using BKEngine, a tool for developing AVG games through line-based scripting. The story is highly intricate, featuring numerous branches and over 20 possible endings, all influenced by the player's choices.
Upload to Editor
I implemented a function that transfers BKEngine's story scripts to the editor I created using blueprint nodes. Each story is converted into a chapter asset within the editor, allowing me to then port the data seamlessly into Unity.
Integrate In Unity
Next, I recreated the UI logic in Unity and developed a runtime to process the data exported from Story Editor. This included implementing save/load functionality, fast-forwarding, and review features. Additionally, I recreated all the visual effects using Unity’s particle systems. I also adapted the screen layout for different mobile device resolutions, including iPads.
