Ivo Montes Moreda contributed to the HawkEngine_Warhammer40K repository by delivering core gameplay systems, level design, and asset integration over a three-month period. He implemented and stabilized scene transitions, overhauled the spawner and enemy systems, and advanced the asset pipeline for release readiness. Using C#, C++, and Unity, Ivo managed 3D modeling, animation integration, and collider setup to support robust physics and seamless gameplay flow. His work included balancing enemy behaviors, refining audio-visual feedback, and optimizing assets for performance. Through targeted bug fixes and system reconfiguration, Ivo improved project maintainability, gameplay stability, and the overall player experience across multiple game levels.

June 2025 (2025-06): Delivered a comprehensive overhaul of the spawner/enemy system across HawkEngine_Warhammer40K with Level 1 spawn balance and range-aware behavior, plus a series of collider and level-flow enhancements to improve reliability and pacing. Implemented collider library integration and engine-level door support for robust physics and seamless transitions. Added gameplay polish through audio variety for footsteps and a new black rage particle effect, alongside targeted Level 2/ boss-design improvements to optimize pacing and engagement. Resolved a broad set of stability issues affecting core gameplay: spike system fixes, reload timing and ammo restrictions, redthirst bug, lictor visibility restoration, and floating-prop corrections. Demonstrated strong system reconfiguration, balancing, and cross-team collaboration, including Jordi’s changes in this batch, driving measurable improvements in player experience and developer productivity.

May 2025 monthly performance summary for MarcoDiModica/HawkEngine_Warhammer40K. Focused on stabilizing core project structure, delivering core gameplay features, and advancing build readiness for release. Highlights include project cleanup and documentation polish, Barrels Level 1/2 updates with beta release scenes, and comprehensive world-building improvements (Bible placements, colliders, interactables, and destroyable objects with ammo drops). Advanced zone 3 integration with FBX handling and build-ready scenes, plus tyranid spawner systems and balancing. Hormagaunts were introduced with placements and readiness for multiple levels, tentacle testing and behavioral refinements, and climber-related balancing. UI/Canvas improvements, including a new Menu UI and canvas interactions, support a polished user experience. Level 1 assets setup and enemy placement enhancements, along with targeted bug fixes (audio in level 1, spawner bugs, and collider issues) driving stability. Final polish and tweaks completed in preparation for QA and release.

Month: 2025-04 — MarcoDiModica/HawkEngine_Warhammer40K Overview: Delivered core Level 2 gameplay scaffolding and robust scene transitions, completed environment blockout and collider readiness, and advanced the asset pipeline to support release readiness. Implemented and stabilized scene transition triggers across levels, established Level 2 gameloop/player setup with preparation for script insertion, and integrated Level 2 across the ISE framework. Upgraded audio assets and formats for performance (combat music and WAV migration), and expanded pickups and BiblePages gameplay. Completed environment polish, lighting/build-mode visuals, and asset optimizations to improve load times and stability. Key achievements: - Scene transition triggers implemented and stabilized, including a trigger from Level 2 to the main menu - Level 2 gameplay scaffolding: gameloop and player setup; environment prepared for script insertion; ISE Level 2 integration across the game - Combat audio upgrade: added combat music and migrated assets to WAV for better performance - BiblePages and pickups: implemented BiblePages collection, shotgun pickup, and overall pickups workflow with trigger/sound corrections - Asset optimization and release readiness: mesh optimization, textures downscaled to 1k, Zone 2 FBX import, root cleanup; improved texture paths and load reliability
