During April 2025, Cameron Bonde developed the Time Grenade feature for the CameronBondeSAE/Defender repository, introducing a new gameplay mechanic that enhances combat strategy through time-based area effects. Cameron designed and implemented a dedicated TimeGrenade scene in Unity, integrating real-time input handling so players can aim grenades interactively with mouse movement. The feature includes visual feedback for both the grenade’s trajectory and its area of effect, leveraging C#, Unity scripting, and 3D math for precise control and feedback. This work established a foundation for future time-manipulation mechanics, demonstrating focused engineering depth and clear, incremental progress within a single development sprint.

Concise monthly summary for 2025-04 focusing on business value and technical achievements: Key features delivered: - Time Grenade feature implemented in CameronBondeSAE/Defender, including a new TimeGrenade scene, area-of-effect visuals, a grenade trajectory visualization line, and interactive aiming that follows mouse input. Major bugs fixed: - No major bugs fixed this month. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Introduced a strategic, time-based ability that enhances combat dynamics and player agency, laying groundwork for future time-manipulation mechanics and longer play sessions. - Demonstrated rapid iteration and solid technical execution by delivering the core feature and associated UX feedback in a focused sprint. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Unity scene creation and integration with gameplay logic - Real-time input handling (mouse-driven aiming) and interactive visuals - Visual effects for area-of-effect indicators and trajectory feedback - Version control discipline with clear, incremental commits Top 3-5 achievements: - Time Grenade feature delivered: core gameplay, TimeGrenade scene, AOE visuals, trajectory line, and mouse-driven aiming (commits: 5e508a9ee382a49de951e52948969314b081ad09; 47d70433eeaf50a0c17fd1d6d7a64136240c745f; 6dae43000da4012b906fbd6e34afb3b98d5eed8c; d92b2fb4c17995e9f362c8126b52ffdc3a8767b8) - UX/visual feedback groundwork for grenade trajectory and AOE visuals to enhance player decision-making (commits: 47d70433eeaf50a0c17fd1d6d7a64136240c745f; 6dae43000da4012b906fbd6e34afb3b98d5eed8c) - Input integration: grenade trajectory now responds to mouse input for precise targeting (commit: d92b2fb4c17995e9f362c8126b52ffdc3a8767b8)
