Gordon worked on the Liamschoolprogramming/Game-Tech-2 repository, delivering four core gameplay features over two months. He centralized energy generation logic within the BP_EngineCore blueprint, improving maintainability and cohesion across the engine’s systems. Gordon implemented engine core damage and destruction mechanics, integrating them with the ShinSekai map and creating a real-time Core Status UI using Unreal Engine’s Blueprint and UMG. He also developed a save/load system with autosave enhancements and a basic end-game UI, enabling session persistence and smoother player experience. His work demonstrated depth in gameplay systems architecture, Blueprint scripting, and UI integration, laying groundwork for future extensibility.

September 2025: Delivered core Save/Load system with autosave enhancements and a basic end-game UI for Liamschoolprogramming/Game-Tech-2. The implementation provides session persistence, reduces progress loss, and creates a solid foundation for resume functionality across play sessions. Key work focused on autosave reliability, end-state handling, and groundwork for cross-BP persistence to support broader gameplay flows.
