Joyce Shen developed core gameplay and UI systems for the ByteCraft repository over a two-month period, focusing on modularity and maintainability. She implemented a GameManager singleton to manage game flow, integrated a loot and pickup system with in-world objects and UI feedback, and established asset organization standards using Unity and C#. Joyce also delivered a carryable objects feature with raycast-based interaction and a low-health indicator to enhance player feedback. Her work included refactoring assets for consistency, tuning gameplay balance, and introducing a subtitle system with TextMeshPro. These contributions provided a robust foundation for future feature expansion and UI improvements.
