Over six months, Iago Bessa developed core gameplay systems and robust localization features for the proudnhello/CMPM171Project repository. He engineered modular combat, interaction, and dialogue systems using C# and Unity, emphasizing maintainable code organization and data-driven UI. His work included implementing ScriptableObject-based buffs, a multilingual localization pipeline, and CSV-driven content generation, which improved accessibility and iteration speed. Bessa also delivered a comprehensive tutorial flow, enhanced player mechanics, and streamlined asset management. By addressing seventeen bugs and refining UI/UX, he ensured gameplay reliability and a scalable foundation for future content, demonstrating depth in game development, data management, and internationalization.

May 2025 CMPM171Project — concise monthly summary focused on business value and technical achievements. Key work includes a pre-pull auto-save safeguard, a comprehensive tutorial flow overhaul (new run-state management script decoupled from procgen, expanded base map, and progress-tracked tutorial dialogue), and the creation/refactor of test and tutorial scenes. UI polish and navigation stability were boosted through main menu enhancements, tutorial navigation/navmesh fixes, and pause-menu corrections. Localization updates ( rattish) and CSV-driven data generation support were completed to improve accessibility and content workflows. These changes improve reliability, accelerate onboarding, and enable faster iteration on instructional content and gameplay flows.

March 2025 (2025-03) performance summary for proudnhello/CMPM171Project focused on core gameplay enhancement, localization, and typography improvements, with groundwork for future data serialization work. Key features delivered include a new Dash mechanic integrated into player movement (input mapping, dash duration and cooldown via coroutines) and refactored input actions, plus updates to encyclopedia, input mapping, and scene management. A comprehensive Localization system now supports English, Spanish, and Portuguese across UI, menus, and gameplay (localization manager, language selection, and translated texts for UI elements, hitmarkers, inflictions, control prompts, and encyclopedia/game text). Typography was improved through a fallback font asset and LiberationSans SDF data updates to ensure cross-platform text rendering consistency. Foundational work on data serialization was started, laying groundwork for future feature delivery. No major bugs were fixed this month; one placeholder change related to image and stream data serialization was recorded as groundwork rather than a deliverable feature.

February 2025 focused on laying the foundation for core gameplay systems (Interaction System), advancing cooking and campfire workflows, and strengthening testing and UI feedback across the CMPM171Project. Key work included delivering the core Interaction framework, building testing scaffolds, enabling chest drops with visual feedback, and implementing campfire cooking flows with a soup stats pipeline and UI integration. UI/UX cleanup and codebase consolidation reduced technical debt and improved release readiness. Also fixed critical bugs (damage buff calculations; campfire display) to improve gameplay correctness and presentation. Overall, this period accelerates gameplay depth (loot, interactions, cooking) and establishes a scalable foundation for upcoming content.
