Developed core gameplay systems and infrastructure for the OtspIII/CCNYLevelDesignJSON Unity project over two months, establishing a robust foundation with asset management, event-driven GameManager architecture, and comprehensive documentation to streamline onboarding and collaboration. Enhanced gameplay depth by implementing animation playback stabilization, actor control commands, ranged combat mechanics, and visual state transitions such as fading and hitbox toggling. Integrated SideNPCs with duplicate prevention and introduced hazard interactions with invincibility frames to support dynamic combat. Maintained project stability through dependency management and Unity editor upgrades. Leveraged C#, Unity, and Git for scripting, version control, and collaborative development throughout the project lifecycle.
November 2024 monthly summary for OtspIII/CCNYLevelDesignJSON: Key features delivered and enhancements: - Animation Playback Stabilization: fixed a bug where rapid-trigger animations could fail or play twice; now tracks the current animation and returns to Idle when finished if nothing else is queued, improving reliability and user feedback. - Enhanced Actor Control: Movement, Commands, and State: centralized improvements to actor control including movement/rotation, actor property commands, and on/off toggling via commands for runtime level control. - Ranged Combat: Targeting and Shooting: added capabilities for actors toShootAt targets and the player, including facing targets and instantiating projectiles toward them to deepen combat mechanics. - Visual State Transitions: Fade and Hitbox Controls: introduced FadeOut/FadeIn and HitboxOn/HitboxOff for richer visual feedback and defensive gameplay options. - SideNPCs Integration: added SideNPCs initialized with the actor system and prevented duplicates for stable side content. - Hazard Interaction and Invincibility Frames: implemented player invincibility frames after damage, hazard wall behaviors, and extra velocity control options for more dynamic combat and movement. - FourSquareAlt Behavior for ExampleMonster: added a FourSquareAlt behavior with a configurable speed, triggering a FourSquare coroutine and removing internal speed tracking. - Maintenance and Quality Fixes (Deps/Editor): resolved dependency conflicts, upgraded Unity editor, and minor naming fixes to improve stability and consistency. Major bugs fixed: - Animation Playback Stabilization: addressed animations not playing when triggered in quick succession, improving reliability and user feedback. - Maintenance and Quality Fixes (Deps/Editor): handled dependency conflicts and editor upgrade to prevent build-time issues and ensure stability. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Sustained gameplay reliability and depth with robust animation, targeting, and state-management features. - Improved stability of side content through SideNPCs and better content isolation, reducing duplicate initialization issues. - Enabled richer combat and movement dynamics with invincibility frames, hazard interactions, and projectile-based ranged actions. - Streamlined maintenance and build stability via dependencies/editor upgrades and naming fixes. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Unity/C# gameplay scripting, actor-system architecture, and command patterns. - Implementation of state-driven visuals (Fade/In/Out) and hitbox toggles for gameplay feedback. - Project maintenance skills including dependency management, editor upgrades, and code quality fixes.
