Jeremy Chan developed a death and respawn system with checkpoint integration for the StudioAspen/Aspen-2025-2026 repository, focusing on seamless gameplay progression and player experience. Using C# scripting within Unity, he implemented a Mario Kart–inspired respawn flow that returns players to designated checkpoints, incorporating a visual lift effect and robust handling of player state. The system was tightly integrated with the checkpoint manager and validated through dedicated test scene objects. Jeremy refined default values, improved in-code documentation, and expanded testing scaffolding, demonstrating iterative development and attention to maintainability. His work addressed gameplay continuity and future feature extensibility within the project.
