Lea Raynaud contributed to Poolpisher/DontLetThemCookPFE by building and refining a wide range of gameplay and visual features over five months, focusing on asset integration, VFX creation, and environment art. She implemented new Unreal Engine Blueprints and managed 3D assets to enhance player immersion, including staff room overhauls, dynamic VFX for character movement, and localization-ready content. Her technical approach emphasized performance optimization, file organization, and cross-team asset pipelines, resulting in faster load times and scalable content updates. Using Unreal Engine, Blueprint scripting, and CSV data management, Lea delivered robust, maintainable systems that improved both the visual fidelity and reliability of the project.
