Dan O’Connor contributed to the MadMan-123/SwashDucklers repository by developing and refining core gameplay features, focusing on player movement, collision detection, and scene management. He implemented physics-based prefabs, tuned movement parameters, and optimized hitboxes to enhance player control and navigation. Using Unity and C#, Dan improved scene transitions by refactoring to build index-based loading, reducing maintenance risks and improving performance. He also adjusted deployment timing for dynamic test scenes and addressed collision matrix issues to ensure reliable gameplay. His work demonstrated depth in Unity engine configuration, iterative testing, and disciplined version control, resulting in a more responsive and maintainable codebase.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 performance and stability summary for MadMan-123/SwashDucklers: Key deliverable includes Scene Transition Refactor: Build Indices replacing scene-name based loading, covering tutorial transitions in SkipTutorial and general navigation to improve load consistency and performance. Bug fix for Win/GameOver screens: switched to integer build indices and performed cleanup of an unused using directive. Impact: reduced scene-name drift, more reliable builds, faster navigation, and lower post-release hotfix risk. Skills demonstrated: Unity/C#, build index-based scene management, refactoring, code cleanup, and commit-driven development.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 performance summary for MadMan-123/SwashDucklers: The month focused on refining core gameplay feel through movement physics tuning and collision hitbox adjustments. Key feature delivered: Movement and Collision Hitbox Tuning to improve player control and navigation around hazards. Changes include faster acceleration with slower deceleration, a smaller player hitbox for tighter interactions, and relaxed tentacle hitboxes to ease hazard navigation. Implemented via two commits: 5363bcc782a728a312b020fe73b5c5e2ade2e3d0 (Updated Player Movement & Hitbox) and 56936128bbe8090d9c5b661d3412ef20d9c39ecf (Changed Tentacle Hitboxes). Major bugs fixed: none reported this month; the team concentrated on feature refinement and stability. Overall impact: more responsive gameplay, tighter collision interactions, and improved navigation around hazards, contributing to better player experience and potential retention. Technologies/skills demonstrated: physics tuning, collision and hitbox optimization, iterative testing, and version-control discipline.
