Marco Di Modica developed core gameplay and engine systems for the HawkEngine_Warhammer40K repository, focusing on robust feature delivery and iterative polish over six months. He engineered animation pipelines, weapon mechanics, and input subsystems using C++ and C#, integrating component-based architecture to support extensible gameplay and editor tooling. His work included implementing skeletal animation, raycast-based combat, audio integration, and scene management, addressing both runtime performance and content authoring needs. By refining prefabs, asset flows, and controller input, Marco ensured reliable level progression and responsive controls. The depth of his contributions established a scalable foundation for future development and rapid iteration.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025: Implemented a raycast-based weapon system across Boltgun, Shotgun, Railgun, and bullets, returning hit data (hit GameObject, distance, normal, hitPoint) with an isHit flag and destroy-on-hit behavior to enable realistic combat and reliable projectile outcomes. Added Weapon Unlock-Based Switching to align weapon availability with player progression and completed the Weapons System Finalization for a cohesive weapons set. Enhanced visuals/feedback through FX and Particle System improvements, including bullet FX lerp, ParticleData.h updates, and WalkFX/InactiveDashFX. Built a solid audio foundation with core AudioEngine integration, AudioComponent, and playback controls (Play On Awake, Master Volume), plus fixes for audio loading, looping, and stop/pause, and 3D audio behavior improvements. Performed Build/Project and Repo maintenance to streamline CI and collaboration. These changes deliver smoother gameplay, faster iteration, and a scalable base for future features and monetizable improvements.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 monthly summary for MarcoDiModica/HawkEngine_Warhammer40K. Focused on establishing a skeletal animation foundation and integration across the engine. Implemented core data structures and loading paths to enable skeletal animation, including Bone data structure, vertex bone weights/IDs, and the Animation/Animator component. Progressed the end-to-end pipeline by wiring these components into model loading and scene setup, enabling skeletal animation across models. Initiated Skeletal Animation Component development and SetAnimation, and began work on a Component-based Model Importer integration. Conducted iterative debugging to improve compilation stability and animation quality, with ongoing work to address distortion and include-related issues. Resulting groundwork positions the project to accelerate asset creation and runtime animation for Warhammer 40K models.
