Over five months, this developer contributed to the GrimmsGambit repository, building and refining core card game systems in Unity using C#. They engineered scalable combat and encounter flows, expanded the card engine with new mechanics, and implemented robust UI features such as end-of-encounter screens and deck management. Their technical approach emphasized clean code, data-driven design, and maintainable prefab architecture, including custom data structures and scriptable objects for shop and card assets. By addressing edge-case bugs and enhancing drag-and-drop interactions, they improved player experience and engine reliability. The work demonstrated depth in game logic, UI development, and code refactoring.

April 2025 performance summary for best-koi/GrimmsGambit. Delivered enhancements to drag-and-drop interactions and prefab architecture, driving improved user experience and engine maintainability. Implemented color-coded drag targets (enemy/ally), customizable highlight colors for card selection, and cleanup of highlights to reduce UI clutter when cards are not selected. Refactored character prefabs (Hound, Katze, Seamstress) to streamline drag-and-drop integration in the game engine, enabling more predictable cross-character interactions. These changes reduce cognitive load during play, prevent lingering cues, and support faster iteration and scalability.

January 2025 monthly summary for GrimmsGambit project. Focused on delivering a polished end-of-encounter experience, expanding the card catalog with template-driven support, and establishing testing scaffolding to reduce QA risk and accelerate future iterations. Business value centers on a smoother player flow from encounter to results, richer strategic options through new cards, and a lower risk profile for future content through automated testing and templating foundations. Key technical achievements include UI/UX integration for end-of-encounter flow (EndDisplay) with scene transitions; card deck expansion with new Katze and Grimm's Gambit cards and associated templates; and encounter testing scaffolding with test scenes and scene loading integration. Notable bug fixes include stabilizing the end display, ensuring cards are removed on character death, and refining end-encounter logic to prevent edge-case scene issues. Technologies demonstrated include Unity, C#, EndDisplay component integration, scene management, asset templating, and testing scaffolding for robust feature delivery.
