November 2024 highlights for VGA-Team2024/TeamA: Delivered a set of gameplay-system improvements focusing on player feedback, reliability, and performance. Key features include Dynamic Scene Transitions and Interactables with proximity-triggered scene changes and editor-configured switch-gimmick relationships, and Door Interactions with appearance animations and audio cues, including pendant-triggered doors for immersive feedback. Added Boss Area Attack Mechanics with telegraphs and zone-damage handling to improve balance. Improved Switch and Gimmick Interaction Reliability with better activation checks, layer-based filtering, and refactoring for performance. Fixed Switch Dimension handling and Scene Loading by refactoring bounding box to _halfExtents and introducing robust error handling. Business impact: smoother cross-scene gameplay, reduced bug surface in scene transitions, richer feedback loop for players, and a maintainable codebase foundation for future features.
