During March 2025, delivered critical UX and stability improvements for the ELLE ecosystem, focusing on the AnimELLE modal experiences and game navigation. Implemented AnimELLEModal: Loading & lifecycle UX enhancements with a visible loading progress indicator during Unity initialization, robust lifecycle handling on close/navigation, improved visibility logic, header integration, and responsive viewport sizing; introduced a dedicated close button for the modal. Added an Exit confirmation modal to prevent accidental game exits with a styled close button. Enhanced AnimELLE Crossing navigation by auto-scrolling to top on load and enabling smooth in-page navigation to game links, avoiding hidden content. Fixed a set of reliability issues including loading box stability, mobile right-bar cleanup, post-close errors, and ensuring the game detaches correctly on back navigation. All changes align with business priorities of reducing churn, improving usability, and stabilizing Unity web integration.
