Developed a foundational multiplayer prototype for the IP-2025/waves-of-the-fallen repository, establishing a client-server architecture using C# and Windows Forms. The work featured real-time position synchronization between two clients, keyboard-driven movement, and JSON-based game state serialization for efficient communication. Over two months, the developer enhanced multiplayer reliability by implementing dead player handling, automatic spectating transitions, and a centralized GlobalWaveTimer to maintain session timing even if the host disconnected. These engineering efforts focused on robust multiplayer networking and state management, providing a scalable base for future expansion while addressing edge-case failures to improve overall session stability and player experience.
May 2025: Implemented two critical reliability fixes for IP-2025/waves-of-the-fallen that enhance multiplayer stability and player experience. 1) Dead Player Handling and Spectating Fix: cleans up dead entities from scene/server, auto-switches camera to a living player for passive spectating, and prevents problematic spawn patterns. 2) Global Wave Timer Persistence for Multiplayer: introduces a centralized GlobalWaveTimer under GameRoot to preserve wave and grace-time logic when the host disconnects. These changes reduce edge-case failures, improve session robustness, and demonstrate solid multiplayer engineering.

Delivered a functional multiplayer prototype for IP-2025/waves-of-the-fallen in April 2025, establishing a client-server architecture, a local server with two clients, real-time position synchronization, and JSON-based game state communication. The work provides a scalable multiplayer foundation with core networking, state management, and rendering capabilities, enabling rapid iteration and user engagement. No explicit bug fixes are recorded in this scope; the month focused on delivering the prototype and setting the stage for production-quality multiplayer features.
