Overview:

What does it take to usher in a new AAA dialogue system at shippable quality? What behind-the-scenes decisions were made and challenges faced in order to see it through? This talk showcases the exhilarating, challenging, and intricate venture we embarked on to create the Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Breathing System. Together we explore the steps taken to embrace ownership of this system, collaborate across departments, and re-scope multiple times as we faced surprising technical challenges. Explore the strategies that we used to balance system work and task work, while gaining insights into JIRA's pivotal role as a tracking and delegation tool. In addition, discover why we chose the Wwise Middleware music system to build the system in. At its core, this presentation shines a spotlight on the principles of ideation, problem-solving, resilience, collaboration, and embracing failures as stepping stones towards realizing a AAA-level vision.
