Over six months, Robert Bowne developed core gameplay, audio, and UI systems for the CBowneUCF/RageRooster repository, focusing on player immersion and maintainability. He engineered wave-based enemy spawning with object pooling in C#, integrated FMOD for dynamic audio management, and implemented Cinemachine-driven camera controls to enhance user experience. His work included onboarding flows, breakable objects with loot and VFX, and XR input support, all within Unity. By consolidating audio/UI logic and refining asset management, Robert improved cross-scene consistency and scalability. The depth of his contributions established a robust, extensible foundation for future features and streamlined development across the project.

April 2025 — RageRooster: Delivered a polished onboarding intro sequence and streamlined startup flow. Implemented an opening sequence with logos, intro video, and an interactive title screen with a managing script; refined startup by removing logos, streaming directly to the intro video, and tuning render texture resolution and anti-aliasing. Included a backup of the intro scene to support rollback and safer experimentation. No major bugs fixed this month; emphasis on feature delivery, reliability, and visual quality improvements to accelerate first-use value across devices.

March 2025 highlights for CBowneUCF/RageRooster: Delivered a robust wave-based enemy spawning system with integrated world-change and player-trigger mechanics, enabling controlled wave pacing and environment changes. Implemented walls behavior during waves and removal upon completion. Refactored for performance with object pooling, defined a spawn area, and enhanced UI feedback for wave timers. The work improves gameplay pacing, scalability for future waves, and reduces runtime overhead.

December 2024 delivered targeted audio and visual improvements for RageRooster, focusing on stability, immersion, and maintainability. The work centered on an Audio System overhaul with new events, AudioManager integration, and scene-specific playback controls, complemented by a bug fix to ensure clean transitions between tracks. A Plasma-based Projectile Visual Effects upgrade added richer plasma visuals, materials, and particle systems to enhance combat feedback. Together, these changes improve player immersion, reduce audio glitches across scene changes, and establish a scalable foundation for future audio/visual features in the RageRooster project.

November 2024 (2024-11) – RageRooster development: Delivered core UX/audio overhaul, camera improvements, and maintenance that collectively improve player immersion, stability, and development velocity. Key outcomes include a comprehensive audio and UI overhaul with granular volume controls (master/music/SFX/ambience), persistent settings, brightness controls, pause/menu UI, resolution options, and main menu enhancements; Cinemachine-based camera improvements delivering smoother motion, dampening, and improved follow behavior; and a cleanup pass removing unused scenes and temporary assets to streamline the project and reduce confusion. Additional updates included SettingsManager and FMODEvents adjustments to support new UI/audio features. These changes enhance user experience, enable faster iteration on audio/visual tuning, and improve build stability and maintainability.
