Amanda Tagg developed core gameplay systems for the gaberdell/SuchLife3.0 repository over four months, focusing on player movement, inventory, and crafting mechanics. She implemented WASD-based 2D movement using C# and Unity’s Rigidbody2D, providing configurable speed for extensibility. Amanda designed a modular inventory system with ScriptableObjects, UI integration, and hotbar support, enabling rapid iteration and robust item management. She further engineered a data-driven crafting system, supporting both fixed and flexible recipe orders, and visualized results through a dedicated CraftingUI. Her work emphasized maintainability, scene management, and UI consistency, demonstrating depth in Unity Engine, C#, and inventory workflow design.

April 2025 performance summary for gaberdell/SuchLife3.0: Delivered the core Crafting System and stabilized its UI, driving gameplay depth and a better user experience. The work includes a ScriptableObject-based Recipe data model and an integrated CraftingUI that supports fixed-order and any-order recipes, enabling designers to define item creation from ingredient combinations and visualize outcomes. In addition, resolved UI inconsistencies in CraftingTestScene by cleaning up image components and removing a stray child reference, with color/sprite adjustments to ensure consistent visuals across scenes. This work strengthens player engagement opportunities and provides a maintainable data-driven foundation for future recipes and balance tweaks.
