Simon Socha developed core gameplay systems for the N-Call/FPS-Prototype repository, focusing on targeting, movement, and shield mechanics to create a robust prototyping loop. He implemented features such as a jump and speed system, buff and debuff mechanics, and overhauled the shield and target logic, all using C# and Unity. Simon improved UI feedback and scene management, refactored code for clarity, and enhanced prefab consistency to streamline iteration. His work included rigorous QA and bug fixing, resulting in a stable Level 1 build. The depth of engineering addressed both gameplay functionality and maintainability, supporting faster validation and smoother releases.

May 2025 Monthly Summary for N-Call/FPS-Prototype: This month focused on delivering core gameplay systems, hardening the build through QA, and tightening the UI/scene scaffolding to enable faster iterations and clearer player feedback. All work aligns with the project goal of a robust prototyping loop with modular, readable code and stronger gameplay loops. Key achievements (top 5): - Targeting and Jump/Movement System delivered: implemented core targeting logic, jump targets, and movement interactions (speed boost, ammo/target switching). This culminated in functional Jump and Speed features and alignment of time-targeting to ammo targets. Significant commit activity across builds (e.g., initial work to full functionality). - Shield/Target System Overhaul: reworked shield mechanics, target handling, and UI feedback; shield effect added and targets fully functional across updated scripts. - Buff/Debuff System: introduced functional buff/debuff mechanics across units, enabling richer combat dynamics and strategic gameplay. - Scene/UI/Prefab/Code Quality Improvements: updates to SampleScene.unity, prefabs, and UI assets; refactors for clarity (rename elements) and consistency to streamline iteration and reduce future tech debt. - QA, Bug Hunting, and Build Stabilization: extensive QA passes, fixes for target-related errors, Level 1 build stability improvements, and FOV bug resolution to ensure a reliable demo build. Overall impact and business value: - Accelerated gameplay iteration with a more reliable prototype loop, enabling faster validation of targeting, combat, and UI flows. - Improved player feedback through clearer UI and shield/target visuals, reducing ambiguity and optimizing test feedback. - Stronger engineering practices (refactoring, naming consistency, prefab discipline) that reduce onboarding time for new contributors and lower maintenance costs. - Enhanced stability in early builds through QA emphasis and hotfix cycles, supporting a smoother release cadence for demos and stakeholder reviews. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Unity-based gameplay systems (targeting, movement, shield/target, buffs/debuffs) implemented in C#. - UI/UX design and feedback loops through improved visuals and scene prefabs. - Code refactoring and naming conventions for clarity and maintainability. - Rigorous QA, bug hunting, and hotfix management to stabilize build and deliverables.
