Over three months, JT contributed to the Nicky-Nice-Games/UnityProject by building and refining core gameplay systems, focusing on multiplayer item architecture, input customization, and visual feedback. He implemented a networked item system using C# and Unity’s networking stack, enabling synchronized item interactions and robust RPC-based spawning. JT enhanced player experience through controller and keyboard input migration, persistent control presets, and UI/UX improvements. He addressed gameplay clarity and stability by tuning VFX with Shader Graph and HLSL, improving collision handling, and documenting code for maintainability. The work demonstrated depth in Unity development, balancing technical complexity with scalable, player-focused solutions.
