February 2025 monthly summary for nhaticus/Cash-the-Cache focusing on delivering core gameplay features, UI scaffolding, and bug fixes that strengthen the end-to-end player experience and enable scalable development. Key features delivered and major improvements: - Inventory System Enhancements and Loot Data: improved inventory start flow, refined grid, cursor visibility, and button interactions; introduced LootInfo as a ScriptableObject to support reliable item dropping. - UI and Menu Foundation: established core UI framework, reorganized scene folders for the main menu, added per-area canvases, and created the main UI canvas for scalable UI across scenes. - End-to-End Result Screen: finalized result screen, ensured proper connections, fixed text attachments, and delivered a reusable result element prefab. - Gameplay Systems and Balancing: implemented police spawn system with variable amounts and timer UI; added weight-based shop restrictions and shop size adjustments; initial skybox/night visuals for improved ambiance. - Testing and Validation: added test level and test scene scaffolding, then removed test scene references to keep the project lean. - UI polish and interactions: selectable tag UI, UI overhaul, van canvas setup, pause menu and game over UI, and improved inventory/results panels with scrollbars. Overall impact and business value: - Increased reliability of loot drops and inventory interactions, reducing edge-case bugs in core loops and freeing QA to focus on higher-value scenarios. - A scalable UI foundation enables faster iteration on menus, overlays, and in-game HUDs, accelerating feature delivery in subsequent sprints. - Improved player feedback and pacing through finalized result UI and dynamic game-state transitions, supporting better post-level monetization and flow. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Unity3D participation with ScriptableObject usage (LootInfo) and prefab-driven UI improvements. - Scene organization, canvas architecture, and UI/UX refinement for scalable game interfaces. - Debugging and stabilization across multiple subsystems (inventory, UI, interactions, and game state transitions).
