Morgan Wills developed and enhanced multiple gameplay features for the Games-at-Northeastern/What-Remains-of-Me repository over four months, focusing on puzzle design, lighting, and level optimization. Using Unity, C#, and 3D modeling, Morgan implemented new interactive puzzle scenes, refined room layouts, and introduced modular lighting systems to improve ambience and player onboarding. The work included event-driven mechanics for puzzle elements, performance optimizations through mesh updates and object repositioning, and project structure reorganization for maintainability. These contributions deepened gameplay engagement, supported smoother patch rollouts, and established a scalable foundation for future development, demonstrating a thoughtful, iterative approach to game engineering challenges.

Performance-focused month (2025-12) delivering two major features for What Remains of Me: a New and Enhanced Puzzle Level and Boss Puzzle Finalization with Level Optimization. The team introduced interactive puzzle elements and enriched environmental settings to broaden gameplay variety and boost player engagement. Boss 2 puzzle mechanics were finalized and the level optimized for performance through mesh updates, adjusted object positioning, and targeted refactoring to improve clarity and gameplay flow. These efforts underpin improved player experience, increased retention potential, and a more maintainable codebase for future iterations. Key business outcomes include richer, more varied puzzles driving longer session times, smoother and more reliable gameplay, and a maintainable architecture to accelerate future feature delivery.

Month: 2025-11 — What-Remains-of-Me (Games-at-Northeastern). Delivered two core puzzle features and advanced 1.2 readiness, focusing on gameplay depth, player engagement, and maintainability. Key work: - Puzzle Scene 1: New Scene and Mechanics — Adds a new puzzle scene with refined object placement, a vertical platform with vines, and virus-energy interactions affecting vines. Implemented across multiple commits, culminating in 1.2 integration for vines behavior. - Puzzle Scene 2: Second Chamber Puzzle Redesign — Redesign of the second chamber puzzle to improve layout and challenge, enhancing pacing and player satisfaction. Major fixes and integration: - Aligned vines-break behavior with virus-energy triggers on the 1.2 vertical platform; introduced vines break event script for 1.2-specific scripts. - Completed 1.2 compatibility updates across puzzle scenes to ensure smooth patch rollout. Commit trace (illustrative): 481f34aa2fbfa15d933b843b159f9c78cb3ab277 (Morgan's New Puzzle in progress), 5f8167d99fb53b90f4cb525fce1a7f6b4c1fe8ea (More work on Morgan's puzzle), 47db062e0c24c129bf4f97d58e4c1f65ae12c287 (added vines break event script to 1.2 specific scripts), 5052d4bd11f245ae5511fd6858b49899bef59475 (vines now break when 1.2 vertical platform has virus energy), 61fdab702c0c9b29e88f6f528c160601c71eaacc (Work on new revision of a puzzle for boss 2 chamber). Impact and business value: - Improved gameplay depth, engagement, and pacing, supporting longer play sessions and higher retention. - Clear 1.2 patch readiness with modular scripts and event-driven mechanics, reducing risk for future releases. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Gameplay scripting and event-driven mechanics - Scene design and puzzle layout optimization - Cross-feature integration and 1.2 compatibility work - Version control discipline and incremental delivery
