Rahul J. developed core gameplay systems for the RJ-06/CouchPotatoes repository over three months, focusing on player input, asset integration, and interactive stage mechanics. He established a robust input workflow supporting gamepad, keyboard, and mouse, and implemented prefab-based player objects with customizable skins. Using C# and Unity, Rahul introduced metadata-driven sprite animation, a stage event system for timed and trigger-based interactions, and an FXManager for cohesive visual and audio feedback. His work emphasized modularity and testability, enabling rapid iteration and reliable QA. The resulting codebase provided a scalable foundation for future features and improved the overall player experience.

February 2025 (RJ-06/CouchPotatoes) — Focused on delivering core gameplay enhancements and scalable stage inter activity to improve player experience and support UI/game logic integration. Key accomplishments include new character sprite assets with animation metadata, unified player movement input with public state exposure, and a stage event system with timed events and trigger-driven actions. These changes establish a metadata-driven animation workflow, robust input handling across WASD/arrow keys, and an event-driven stage engine that enables interactive level design.
