Over four months, contributed to Blue-Square-Legion/Tower by building and refining core gameplay systems, including combat mechanics, spell frameworks, and wave progression. Leveraged Unity and C# to implement features such as a player hit system, rune-based abilities, and advanced navigation using NavMesh, while optimizing asset pipelines and UI for smoother iteration. Enhanced player experience through visual effects, path visualization, and responsive UI elements, addressing both performance and usability. Focused on clean code practices, frequent refactoring, and robust bug fixing, resulting in a stable, scalable codebase that supports rapid development and clear gameplay feedback across multiple content updates.
February 2025 update for Blue-Square-Legion/Tower: Delivered key path visualization enhancements to improve player UX and gameplay clarity. Implemented breathing animation for path indicators and restricted rendering to the current wave's paths, reducing UI clutter and enemy render workload. No major bugs reported this month. Overall impact: smoother, more readable path feedback during waves, enabling better strategic decisions and paving the way for scalable UI optimizations in future releases. Technologies/skills demonstrated include UI/UX animation, per-wave visibility logic, lightweight rendering optimization, and strong change traceability through concise commits.

Month: 2024-12 — Summary: Delivered a stable foundation for the Blue-Square-Legion/Tower project and a first wave of gameplay features, focusing on core setup, progression, combat polish, and UI improvements. The month established production readiness and set the stage for continued development with a clean codebase and robust bug fixes. What was delivered: - Core initialization and asset import pipeline, including bootstrap, animations, hex assets, lighting effects, and Ice Tower prefab updates, creating a stable base for the project. - Level progression groundwork with Level 1 and Level 2 completion milestones, enabling early gameplay flow and testing of progression hooks. - UI enhancements and polish, including a new credits screen, Level 1 UI fixes, and a radial cooldown UI improvement to improve visibility and user experience. - Combat mechanics and rune system improvements, with a stun mechanic, taunt logic (two implementations), a cleanse rune, and fixes to rune behavior. - Stability, bug fixes, and code quality improvements, covering navmesh/pathfinding fixes, UI bug resolutions (path UI and title screen), tower targeting, hiding tower selection during rune cast, merge conflict resolution, and cleanup of unused code. Business impact: - Faster iteration cycles and reduced risk due to a stable base and cleaned codebase. - Improved player engagement and perceived value through new mechanics and UI polish. - Clear progression and combat systems that support future content and monetization pathways. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Unity-like asset pipelines, prefab-based scene composition, and asset import workflows. - Navmesh/pathfinding, UI systems, and combat mechanic design (stun/taunt/rune systems). - Code maintenance practices including cleanup and merge conflict resolution.
