Elita Animowo developed core gameplay and UI systems for the Humber-Game-Production/GAME259_2025_Winter_A repository, focusing on scalable settings management, multiplayer synchronization, and performance optimization. Over three months, Elita engineered a dynamic, data-driven settings UI using Unreal Engine Blueprints and C++, integrating persistent audio controls and accessibility features such as color blindness support. She refactored menu navigation with widget switchers, improved controller input handling, and optimized level loading through asset preloading. Her work included stabilizing plugin management, enhancing onboarding with a tips system, and introducing objective indicators, resulting in a more accessible, performant, and maintainable Unreal Engine project.
April 2025: Delivered core UI/UX enhancements, performance optimizations, and stability improvements for GAME259_2025_Winter_A. Key contributions included end-game UI and restart/menu focus improvements; startup/load-time reductions via level preloading; audio and settings stability refactor; new objective and interaction widgets; and a critical credits screen fix. These changes improve player onboarding, reduce load times, ensure consistent audio, and provide clearer in-game objectives.

March 2025: Delivered core UI/UX enhancements, multiplayer progression, and load-time optimizations for GAME259_2025_Winter_A. Implemented controller-navigable UI across core screens, refined multiplayer ready-up gating with input-mode handling, and refactored the main menu using a widget switcher, all complemented by robust loading/asset preloading and an integrated tips system to improve onboarding and engagement. These changes reduce friction in onboarding, decrease wait times during level transitions, and enable smoother, more scalable UI management.

February 2025 (2025-02) performance summary for Humber-Game-Production/GAME259_2025_Winter_A: Key progress centered on delivering a scalable, data-driven Settings system and stabilizing plugin management, with measurable business and technical impact. Delivered a dynamic Settings UI with enum-driven options, dynamic population, and robust save/apply logic integrated via a central Settings Manager. Established a data-driven configuration pipeline backed by data tables, simplified by replacing legacy structures and migrating logic from the game instance. Implemented Master/Music/SFX volume controls with persistent saves, and added colour blindness support to broaden accessibility. Addressed plugin pipeline fragility by integrating the Electronic Nodes Plugin and resolving folder management issues. Standardized settings flow, removed experimental test modes, and improved UI consistency and stylization. Overall, these changes reduced configuration toil, improved launch consistency, and enhanced the player experience through accessible, reliable, and scalable settings management.
