Chris Purnell developed and refined interactive narrative and gameplay systems across several Unity projects, including Karkaranos/Nonstick-Summer-2025 and BBurtz/488Prototype1. He implemented branching dialogue trees, mood-driven character interactions, and dynamic scene management using C# and Unity’s asset pipeline, focusing on player engagement and production stability. His work included 3D modeling, asset integration, and UI/UX polish, ensuring visual fidelity and streamlined asset organization. In bboster/GeistHeist, he delivered milestone-ready scene configurations by aligning object transforms and gameplay values to design specifications. Purnell’s engineering approach emphasized maintainability, iterative polish, and robust version control, resulting in stable, feature-rich game builds.
October 2025: Milestone 1 readiness achieved for GeistHeist. Delivered Scene Configuration Polish across multiple Unity scenes, ensuring correct object positioning, rotation, and numerical game mechanic values per design specs. This work stabilizes Milestone 1 release and reduces post-release tuning.
