Cameron developed core gameplay systems for the CameronBondeSAE/Defender repository over three months, focusing on player movement, AI behaviors, and inventory mechanics. Using Unity and C#, Cameron implemented responsive WASD controls with Cinemachine camera integration, designed modular alien AI with patrol and pursuit logic, and refactored grenade and damage systems for maintainability. The work included building an inventory system that activates and consumes items via prefab spawning and ScriptableObject references, enhancing gameplay depth and scalability. Throughout, Cameron emphasized code clarity, asset management, and UI feedback, resulting in a robust, extensible codebase that supports future feature expansion and streamlined workflows.

May 2025: Delivered end-to-end Inventory Item Activation and Usage for CameronBondeSAE/Defender. Implemented activation of the currently selected inventory item by spawning its prefab in front of the player, introduced ItemSO prefab references, and enabled item usage/consumption via updated Nades logic and an InventoryController refactor. This work enhances gameplay realism, reduces item-management friction, and establishes a scalable foundation for future item-based features. Key commits documenting the changes include e15e4afec266f3199fc860f4d37dad43c6cedb4d and c72923bb29a55a4ebe9c8e378e2b38e704556d1e.

April 2025 highlights for CameronBondeSAE/Defender: Delivered four core items: Laser Combat Input and Prep integrated into PlayerCombat; Alien AI Pursuit of Civilians to heighten threat; Tutorial Panel with player controls and endgame win/lose feedback; and targeted Maintenance/Project Scaffolding to stabilize assets and streamline workflows. Minor bug fixes and cleanup accompanied these changes (IDE ignores, Unity meta updates, and legacy script cleanups).
