Description
In this paper, we describe the design and technological methods of
our dynamic sprite system in Lost & Found, a table-top-to-mobile
card game designed to improve literacy regarding prosocial
aspects of religious legal systems, specifically, collaboration and
cooperation. Harnessing the capabilities of Unreal Engine’s
Paper2D system, we created a dynamic content creation pipeline
that empowered our game designers so that they could rapidly
iterate on the game’s systems and balance externally from the
engine. Utilizing the Unreal Blueprint component system we were
also able to modularize each actor during runtime as data may be
changed. The technological approach behind Lost & Found uses
Unreal Engine and Paper2D in order to maximize scalability and
dynamic content creation. We believe our methods will be useful
for any developer with large volumes of data, intensive procedural
content in their game, or those who would like to improve their
workflow when working with dynamic data.
