Phu Huynh developed core gameplay, accessibility, and UI systems for the staypat/Painted-Echoes Unity repository over six months, delivering 51 features and resolving 10 bugs. He architected scalable input and inventory management, implemented colorblind accessibility, and integrated analytics for player telemetry. Using C#, Unity, and JSON, Phu built a robust asset pipeline, localization framework, and controller support, enabling internationalization and cross-platform play. His work included a modular colorblind mode, Steam build integration, and a maintainable UI/UX layer. The engineering demonstrated depth in system design, code maintainability, and user-centric features, resulting in a more accessible, reliable, and extensible game foundation.

June 2025: Delivered a robust Colorblind Mode Core System with per-room implementations, expanded accessibility assets (paintbrush, photos, icons), and a refreshed asset pipeline; added inventory icons and controller support for the win screen; completed localization updates and final credits polish. Fixed colorblind ball visibility and absorb counter issues to improve reliability of colorblind gameplay. Business impact: widened accessibility, improved UX clarity, and stronger localization, driving broader engagement and retention. Technologies demonstrated: color management architecture, per-room state handling, asset pipeline for accessibility, localization integration, and cross-platform input handling.

April 2025 for staypat/Painted-Echoes: Delivered UX, localization, and content updates that enhance accessibility, reliability, and gameplay accuracy. Key work includes a UI-driven controller input rebinding panel with localization asset cleanup, improvements to the localization framework to support images and typeless data, and refreshed puzzle content with new photos and corrected asset references. Specifically, the rebinding UI was introduced in MainMenu; Arabic and Japanese assets were removed to streamline localization; localization data structures were extended; new puzzle photos added and Scene/PhotoManager references updated; Level 1 photo mappings corrected; MC Bedroom photos display issue resolved. These changes improve player accessibility, reduce asset bloat, and strengthen content pipelines for future localizations and asset updates. Technologies demonstrated include Unity UI, localization/internationalization, asset management, and build-target management, as evidenced by the linked commits.

February 2025 performance summary for staypat/Painted-Echoes. Delivered a comprehensive UI overhaul and polish across core interfaces (inventory, ammo, crosshair) with visual updates such as photos and living room assets, while improving consistency with UI ratios and palette changes. Implemented tutorial and controls text updates, refined materials and scene setup (gray material, collider hitbox), and introduced discoverable color functionality in the inventory. Resolved key interaction and usability bugs (paintbrush interaction, color-aligned scrolling in ammo inventory, and absorb-order inventory clicks), and enhanced prefab naming conventions for maintainability. Added new visual content (photos and kitchen photos) and improved UI cues (inspector icons, hover scaling) to boost user engagement. Overall, these changes reduce friction for players, accelerate onboarding, and streamline future development through a more maintainable codebase and clearer UI semantics.
