RJONES301 worked on the GCU-CLD/gcu-cld-24-25-mala-vida repository, building and expanding level environments, gameplay sequences, and test infrastructure over six months. Using Unreal Engine, UnrealScript, and advanced asset management, RJONES301 delivered features such as interactive turret and elevator mechanics, camera testing workflows, and progression logic from Act 1 to Act 2. The work included integrating new assets, refining level design, and stabilizing test levels to support quality assurance and future content. Through disciplined version control and iterative development, RJONES301 ensured a maintainable asset pipeline and enabled scalable level expansions, demonstrating technical depth in environment art and sequence creation.

Summary for 2025-07: Delivered key Act 2 gameplay sequences and foundational test level scaffolding for the Mala Vida project, enabling early testing of Trash Shoot components. Act 2 assets (box fall/box rise) and camera shake on ladder drops were integrated, and the test level map was updated to reflect the new sequences. Separately, Rhys's test level skeleton and binary map changes were completed along with asset integration, establishing a reliable base for Act 3 iterations. No major bugs were recorded this month; the focus was on feature delivery and pipeline readiness. Overall impact: accelerated gameplay iteration, reduced risk before next milestones, and improved level design and asset integration workflow. Technologies demonstrated: gameplay sequencing, level design scaffolding, binary map manipulation, asset integration, and version-control discipline across a collaborative effort.
