Feb 1, 2025Feb 2025: JaxGitH/Mindshift delivered mission-critical features, improvements, and stabilization to accelerate gameplay iteration and maintainability. Key features delivered include a Custom Character Controller with improved movement handling, Input Handler Improvements for responsive controls, Showcases edits for assets/demo scenes, Editor Build Settings and Scripts Organization to streamline editor workflows, and file reorganization to improve project structure. Level mechanics were enhanced with moving platforms, kill volumes, climbing, ledge detection, and shader updates, while the animation system received substantial improvements and fixes (transitions, idle fixes, IsGrounded checks). The build and dev workflow were stabilized by reverting problematic merge PRs and addressing a broken development workflow. The combined work reduces build friction, accelerates iteration, and delivers a smoother player experience. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Unity editor tooling, C#, animation system, shader updates, input system design, project structuring and refactoring, and build process automation.
