PROFILE

Daniel Bratton

During three months on MonRiverGames/DungeonSP2025, Daniel built and refined core gameplay systems for a C# console-based dungeon crawler. He overhauled player combat logic, introduced status-effect timing, and implemented enemy AI with chance encounters, focusing on maintainable object-oriented design. Daniel developed a robust save system using JSON serialization to persist player state, rooms, and inventory, ensuring data integrity across sessions. He enhanced map navigation and rendered dungeon layouts with ASCII art, improving user experience and visual clarity. His work addressed edge-case failures, standardized UI messaging, and polished asset management, resulting in a stable, extensible codebase that supports future gameplay features.
