Over four months, contributed to OReynoud/Forage-and-brew by building core gameplay systems, UI features, and content management tools using Unity and C#. Developed player control and camera systems, implemented interactive UI elements such as animated book and codex interfaces, and expanded inventory and quest mechanics. Applied modular scripting and prefab workflows to improve maintainability and enable rapid iteration. Addressed stability and data integrity through targeted bug fixes and code refactoring, while enhancing user experience with animation, input mapping, and scene transitions. The work established a robust technical foundation, streamlined content workflows, and supported release readiness for ongoing game development.
January 2025 — OReynoud/Forage-and-brew: Delivered core features, stabilized data, and enhanced UX/UI across codex, recipes, and orders. Highlights include the Legit Letter generation system, added potion names to specific orders, and significant player experience improvements through walk/run animations and a fade-to-black transition when sleeping. UI polish was applied to letter and pinned recipe displays, and codex bookmarking automation was implemented to improve content discovery and reliability. Targeted bug fixes improved data integrity, recipe display correctness, bookmark indexing, and navigation stability.
