Animal Crossing Tier List Maker V2
Personal Project
First off, legal disclaimer! This is an unofficial project. I am not affiliated with Nintendo. Animal Crossing™ is a trademark of Nintendo.
With that out of the way, check out this neat little fan project neatly ranking each of the 413 villagers present in Animal Crossing: New Horizons! This app allows you to streamline the ranking process, being able to sort and take a nice longform screenshot to share around with your friends, all while being able to interact with a familiar UI layout seen in New Horizons! I originally made this project to provide an alternative for those clunky web-based tier makers, since they aren’t suited for ranking more than a few dozen items. I also love emulating UI from other games, so this was a no-brainer for me to make!
This project was created in the span of a long weekend, with an additional weekend of visual polish.

Responsibilities
I did all the programming and data entry, basically. Here are a few key features:
Created a custom loading sequence using Coroutines to yield for various events, such as generating tier lists and screenshots.
Developed a custom screenshot script that generates a new UI field suitable for long, vertical images.
Utilized ScriptableObjects to neatly contain all 413 villagers’ data and create generic behaviors using the dataset.
Yes it was very time consuming.
Created custom UI shaders to emulate the wobbling effect of Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ dialogue boxes.
