Brendan Halstead developed core gameplay and UI features for the gmuGADIG/FetchQuest and gmuGADIG/bake-me-crazy repositories over a three-month period. He implemented a hole mechanic and safe-position system in FetchQuest, using GDScript and Godot Engine’s signal handling to enable reliable event-driven damage and player teleportation. Brendan also delivered audio integration for sword actions, centralized SFX management, and refactored bomb explosion visuals to use dedicated scenes, improving maintainability and player feedback. In Bake Me Crazy, he prototyped a reusable UI scaffold for a recipe notebook, focusing on adaptable scene management and early UX validation to accelerate future feature development.
