Major bugs fixed: - Golden room placement, wall curvature, symmetry and blockout issues; door-related Baptiste Level issues; corridor-blocking visibility to prevent clipping; fountain blockout removal corrections; and war vet block-out removals. - CI/build-gating artifact included for validation but not merged. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Stabilized core navigation and visual fidelity in critical areas, enabling faster QA cycles and more reliable playtesting. - Expanded gameplay surface with new assets and a teaching mechanic, increasing player interaction opportunities. - Improved consistency and clarity of the level art pipeline, reducing future rework and support burden. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - 3D geometry optimization, asset integration and animation wiring, collision and visibility tuning, color grading. - Blockout management, corridor and room-level interaction design, and feature-branch hygiene with CI considerations. Business value: - Faster iteration with targeted fixes, better player experience through new assets and interactions, and maintainable codebase with clear commit traceability.

June 2025: Greek_Platformer Level 2 progressed significantly in navigation, physics, and art polish to stabilize gameplay and enable richer traversal. Delivered a robust Level 2 navmesh with spikes collider, refined camera dezoom and collision handling, tuned Typhon movement, and corrected navmesh boundaries to prevent out-of-bounds play. Completed Level 2 setup/maintenance tasks (coins, player start) and swapped to the final background asset. These improvements enhance playability, QA pass readiness, and overall player experience.

May 2025 — Alexandre-Coppens/Greek_Platformer: Solid Gym and Level 2 momentum with feature delivery, fixes, and validation to support shipping readiness. Key outcomes include Gym Core integration and Level 2 blockout finalized with tests, asset organization and GD metric alignment, expanded Gym test coverage (short jump, dash, trail lifespan), Level 2 design maturation (UI/POI naming, background limits, and platform length adjustments), and Typhon Level 2 groundwork (start, vertical mesh, ramp) with spawn-distance fixes. The month also improved collaboration workflows through merge/stash housekeeping and release-ready asset discipline. Overall impact: reduced risk for Level 2 shipping, clearer traceability from commits to features, and stronger development discipline that scales with design and metrics.

December 2024 monthly summary for Alexandre-Coppens/ARTFX-M2Games-Excalibur: Delivered foundational gameplay, core level scaffolding, and UI/UX polish, with significant visual and stability improvements that advance toward release. Work spanned Level 1 core implementation, background visuals and assets, platform/VFX mechanics, story/content updates, main menu and pause UI, combat readiness (sword), and level progression including transitions to 2.5, final scene, and polish. Notable stability work included checkpoint reliability and cross-level menu/attack timing fixes to ensure a consistent play experience.
