PROFILE

Brendan Halstead

Over a three-month period, this developer contributed to gmuGADIG/FetchQuest and gmuGADIG/bake-me-crazy by building gameplay features and user interface systems using GDScript and the Godot Engine. They implemented a hole mechanic with safe-position tracking and refactored collision detection to use event-driven signals, improving reliability and maintainability. Their work included audio integration for sword actions, a centralized SFX manager, and visual enhancements for bomb explosions, focusing on asset-driven scene management. Additionally, they prototyped a two-page Recipe Notebook UI in Bake Me Crazy, establishing a reusable framework for in-game menus and laying the groundwork for future recipe progression features.
