Developed core gameplay systems and visual enhancements for the Cash-the-Cache repository over five months, delivering 29 features and resolving 16 bugs. Built foundational player movement, camera, and combat mechanics using Unity and C#, introducing extensible prefabs and modular scripts for rapid iteration. Enhanced user experience through asset management, UI polish, and localization fixes, while implementing hitbox-based melee detection and pixel shader rendering for improved responsiveness and visuals. Addressed gameplay reliability with collider and input refinements, and maintained code quality through project reorganization. Demonstrated depth in 3D game development, animation integration, and shader implementation, supporting scalable, maintainable, and engaging gameplay.
May 2025 monthly summary: Delivered a focused set of gameplay, rendering, UI, and housekeeping improvements across Cash-the-Cache and MegaKill-ULTRA. Key deliverables include a melee system overhaul with hitbox-based detection, pixel shader rendering upgrades across main game and shop scene, UI polish with asset integration, main menu analytics prompt default behavior, and robust localization fixes. Also completed collider reliability improvements and muzzle flash rendering fix, plus project cleanup for maintainability. These changes drive smoother combat, richer visuals, cleaner UX, faster iteration, and improved localization and testing cycles.

April 2025 — nhaticus/Cash-the-Cache: Delivered three core features with a focus on usability, visuals, and gameplay depth, plus a key stability fix. Key features: Keyboard Camera Controls with a safe singleHandControls toggle (default disabled to prevent unintended input); Iconography and Asset Visual Upgrades including a dedicated Icon Picture Taking workflow, new materials, lighting refinements, and updates to police/icon visuals; Player Melee Attack System enabling player melee combat with an NPC layer adjustment for punchable objects. Major bug fix: stabilized single-handed camera controls to prevent unintended movement. Business impact: enhanced accessibility and control precision, refreshed UI/asset visuals ensuring consistent imports and rendering, and expanded gameplay capabilities that can improve engagement and monetization. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Unity input/camera systems, scene and asset workflows, material and lighting improvements, NPC layer management, and asset/icon pipeline.

January 2025: Delivered a foundational First-Person Player Controller and Camera System for Cash-the-Cache, establishing movement groundwork and mouse-driven camera control. Created new player and camera prefabs and scripts to support extensible gameplay behavior. This work provides a scalable base for future features (combat, interactions) and improves iteration speed by clarifying input and camera logic.
