Developed core gameplay systems and infrastructure for Unreal Engine projects, focusing on combat, destruction, and hitboxing features across the Loris-Moreau/UE_Traversal and Ewan-DuplessisK/PFE_FTJ_Proto repositories. Delivered modular health and modifier systems, a scalable boss framework, and a robust hitboxing architecture using C++ and Blueprint scripting. Enhanced destructible environments and implemented asset management improvements, including asset-data synchronization and project structure refactoring. Prioritized code cleanup, maintainability, and designer-driven iteration by integrating modular design patterns and asset-driven workflows. Addressed technical debt through targeted bug fixes and code organization, resulting in faster iteration cycles, improved stability, and a scalable foundation for future gameplay features.
May 2025 monthly summary for Ewan-DuplessisK/PFE_FTJ_Proto. Delivered foundational hitboxing system with separate attack/hurtbox components, collision handling, hit-event broadcasting, readability improvements, visibility defaults, and usage examples; resolved actor registration robustness issues. Refactored asset organization to clearly separate public and private components, improving maintainability and onboarding. Implemented Asset Data Synchronization after Asset Class changes to keep level data aligned with asset definitions. These efforts strengthened the core gameplay infrastructure, streamlined the asset pipeline, and reduced data drift between in-engine assets and levels, enabling faster iteration and more reliable builds.
