Brian Liu contributed to the PurdueSIGGD/SIGGD-GAME-2025 repository by developing two core gameplay features over two months. He built a Vignette Effects System in Unity using C# and shader programming, enabling artist-driven post-processing visuals with user-triggered activation and consistent asset naming across the rendering pipeline. Brian also implemented a Quest Item Trigger on Pickup, centralizing event-driven logic so quest conditions respond immediately when items are collected, streamlining quest design and iteration. His work emphasized maintainability, performance, and extensibility, with disciplined use of Git for version control. No major defects were reported, reflecting a stable and well-tested codebase.
December 2025: Delivered a core quest-engine improvement by implementing Quest Item Trigger on Pickup for PurdueSIGGD/SIGGD-GAME-2025. This feature enables quest conditions to fire when items are picked up, empowering designers to craft dynamic quests without additional scripting and reducing iteration time. Commit e33d5266f76902c3ce3c33bd4dfc4808ce5fab10 (pickupstrategy) documents the change. Impact includes faster quest design, improved gameplay responsiveness, and a more maintainable event-driven quest system. No high-severity defects reported this month; emphasis on stability, test coverage, and future extensibility. Technologies/skills showcased include gameplay scripting, event-driven design, and disciplined Git-based development.
