Austin Marmie developed and integrated a wide range of 3D assets and environment art for the OnGaard257/PathOfLight repository, focusing on scalable asset libraries, environmental set dressing, and material authoring. Over seven months, he delivered features such as gear and lighting asset packs, environment props, and visual enhancements, using Unreal Engine, UnrealScript, and advanced material editing. His work emphasized structured asset management, clear folder organization, and efficient pipelines for rapid iteration. By addressing both asset creation and integration, Austin enabled consistent visual fidelity, accelerated level design, and established a robust foundation for future content expansion and gameplay integration within the project.

April 2025 (OnGaard257/PathOfLight): Delivered a comprehensive Visual Asset Integration and Level Set Dressing pass across ChapelLevel, Foyer, Main Cathedral, and WB_Cavern. Ten commits added and refined assets (Gear Terminal, Tankards) and updated library/desking details, with adjustments to materials (Tables Material Instance masked) and added storytelling elements (ink spill, chapel blessing room, gallery and foyer dressing). No major bugs logged; focus remained on feature delivery, visual fidelity, and establishing a foundation for upcoming content.
