Santiago Bernardino
Santiago Berna developed core engine features and gameplay systems for BredaUniversityGames/Y2024-25-PR-BB, focusing on stability, performance, and developer workflow. He integrated Wren scripting for dynamic scene and model loading, overhauled the physics and audio systems using C++ and FMOD, and introduced modular UI components with robust input handling. His work included asynchronous model loading, ECS-based architecture, and cross-platform build automation with CMake and CI/CD pipelines. By refactoring asset management and implementing profiling with Tracy, Santiago improved maintainability and runtime reliability. The depth of his contributions enabled faster iteration, smoother gameplay, and more resilient multi-platform releases throughout the project.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 highlights: Delivered key features with strong business value and reinforced stability across the engine. Highlights include a Credits Menu UI integrated into the main menu with improved focus handling and stack behavior; stabilization of Vulkan rendering by initializing data structures with safe defaults to prevent crashes on device loss; major enemy system improvements with rebalance, updated wave configurations, and enhanced AI/pathfinding; new Model Collision Generation Control to allow selective collision generation during model loading with degenerate-triangle checks to preserve mesh integrity; and Physics/Transform Stability improvements, including assertions to guard transform modifications on rigidbodies and refinements to coin physics for consistency and reliability. These changes improve user experience, reduce crash risk, and enable smoother performance across hardware profiles.
