May 1, 2025May 2025 — BredaUniversityGames/Y2024-25-PR-BB: Delivered core particle system reliability and editor enhancements for improved visual fidelity and content iteration speed. Consolidated fixes to the particle system (non-negative dead particle counts, rendering stability, and flicker reduction via a rendering/culling refactor), expanded emitter capacity with updated copy logic, and corrected barrier sizing and wave progression to ensure smoother gameplay. Introduced Live Editor: Particle Emitter Presets with live editing, serialization, and a dedicated configuration directory, plus improved image loading error handling. Implemented a fix to decals spawning on dead enemies by ensuring decals are only placed on static physics objects. These changes deliver higher-quality visuals, more robust gameplay experiences, and faster content authoring, driving engagement and reducing post-release visual bugs.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 monthly summary for BredaUniversityGames/Y2024-25-PR-BB. Delivered two cross-cutting features that elevate visual fidelity and stability of core rendering: 1) Sprite Sheet Animation for Particles with editor controls and shader enhancements; 2) Screen-Space Decal Rendering with fixes for physics raycast collection sorting and decal rendering side-stretching. These changes, accompanied by targeted bug fixes and performance considerations, reduced iteration time for visual polish and improved consistency across gameplay scenes. Key outcomes include improved particle fidelity, reliable bullet-hole decals, and a more robust rendering pipeline. Technologies demonstrated: shader programming and UV mapping, particle system enhancements, editor tooling, screen-space rendering, physics integration, and debugging in complex render pipelines. Business impact: higher visual quality, faster QA cycles, and clearer paths to future features.
