Riley Macfarlane developed core gameplay features and robust audio systems for the ArchieStill/CGD-Game repository over seven months, focusing on stability, observability, and player experience. He engineered puzzle mechanics, such as a tilting board and rising water, and integrated FMOD-based audio across levels, including boss themes and environmental ambience. Using C++, Blueprint scripting, and Unreal Engine, Riley implemented diagnostics logging, asset management, and editor tooling to streamline debugging and accelerate iteration. His work addressed critical bugs, improved world partitioning, and enhanced undo resilience, resulting in a maintainable codebase and reliable runtime behavior that supported both rapid prototyping and production stability.
