Over eight months, Jordan Winmeleznia developed core gameplay systems, AI, and visual features for the Meleznian/IGB300-Game repository, focusing on scalable architecture and rapid iteration. Using Unity, C#, and YAML, Jordan engineered modular enemy and player controllers, implemented wave-based spawning, and integrated animation, particle, and UI systems to enhance feedback and maintainability. He refactored scene and asset management for cleaner onboarding, introduced upgrade and currency mechanics, and resolved complex bugs in physics, collision, and build processes. The work demonstrated depth in 2D game development, balancing new features with robust debugging and code organization to support ongoing content and team collaboration.
