Over four months, contributed to the SkyBeal/KnockAGnome repository by building and refining 3D environments, character animations, and asset pipelines using Unity and C#. Delivered eleven features including demo scenes, spline-driven pathing, and dynamic audio integration with FMOD, focusing on maintainable scene setups and scalable asset management. Enhanced gameplay by implementing new character behaviors, animation states, and particle effects, while improving onboarding and testing fidelity through disciplined version control. Addressed stability and visual quality by refining scene layouts, collider parameters, and render pipeline assets, resulting in a robust foundation for playtesting, rapid iteration, and future feature expansion without major bugs.
January 2025-04 monthly summary for SkyBeal/KnockAGnome focusing on delivering end-to-end gameplay improvements and asset pipeline enhancements. Key features delivered and their business value: Geezer character animation and asset integration with FMOD cache update; gnome jump scare animations and behavior; scene layout refinements with asset/package updates to ensure stability and render readiness. Major bugs fixed: No explicit critical bugs reported; stability improvements implemented via collider refinements and render pipeline/packaging updates to reduce post-release issues. Overall impact: Increased player engagement and immersion through new animations and refined scene setup, with a cleaner asset pipeline that speeds future iterations. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Unity animation workflow, FMOD audio integration, particle systems, GameObject hierarchy, render pipeline assets, and package management.

February 2025 (SkyBeal/KnockAGnome) delivered a solid foundation for playtesting and expanded world-building, with emphasis on scene setup, asset integration, and richer character/dynamic audio. Key work unified baseline visuals and interactions, enabling faster iteration and more immersive gameplay. Highlights: - Established base scene with materials, prefabs, and lighting to enable early playtesting; asset scaffolding supports rapid iteration. - Expanded asset library with environmental assets (stylized rocks, farmhouse) and a mower model, plus a preview scene to accelerate world-building and variety. - Refined scene layout for better play flow by adjusting camera position, object transforms, and scaling. - Implemented spline-driven paths for gameplay and camera movement; updated FMOD cache to reflect changes for accurate audio routing. - Added new gnome animations and audio integration, including multiple animation states and FMOD configurations, enabling richer character movement and soundscape.
