In November 2024, John Smith developed a new player tutorial system and onboarding flow for the cornelldga/DGA-Team-Project-2024 repository. He implemented a guided tutorial using C# and Unity, creating a reusable prefab and UI that pauses gameplay and displays instructions until any key is pressed, ensuring first-time players receive clear guidance. The system included supporting game logic and debugging improvements to enhance onboarding stability and reduce friction during initial play. By focusing on onboarding experience and reliability, John delivered a feature that streamlines player introduction and supports maintainable future development within the game’s C#-based codebase and Unity environment.
