Kaden Stigter contributed to the SkyBeal/KnockAGnome repository by building and refining 3D environments, integrating decorative asset packs, and enhancing gameplay balance over a four-month period. Using Unity and C#, Kaden established dedicated art test scenes, optimized asset loading and collision for runtime performance, and implemented new animation states for character immersion. He addressed audio playback instability with targeted FMOD cache management fixes, improving reliability for audio-heavy features. Kaden’s work included scene polish, constraint hardening, and gameplay tuning, resulting in more stable, visually rich levels. His approach demonstrated depth in asset management, environment art, and performance optimization within Unity Engine.

January 2025: Focused on reinforcing audio reliability in SkyBeal/KnockAGnome. No new user-facing features this month; however, a critical FMOD audio playback stability and cache management fix was delivered to address playback instability and WASAPI buffer warnings, significantly reducing risk of audio glitches in production. The change improves overall stability for audio-dependent workflows and enables faster issue triage through enhanced logs and cache timestamp updates.
