Drake Fillingim contributed to the vgdc-ucsd/Mariposa repository by building and refining core gameplay systems and level infrastructure in Unity using C# and YAML. Over three months, Drake developed a modular level loading system with sublevels, prototyped tutorial and puzzle mechanics, and implemented real-time SpriteHitbox auto-scaling to align 2D colliders with art assets. He also delivered a major Downtown Stage scene update, reorganizing objects and improving layout for maintainability and future features. Drake’s work emphasized asset integration, scene management, and scripting, resulting in a more efficient development workflow and a solid foundation for onboarding and interactive gameplay features.
