July 2025 Nightmare-Guide/Nightmare-Guide monthly summary: Key features delivered: - Animation finishing and final timeline completion: completed Ethan’s hand-holding animation and finalized the last timeline sequence with tuning for smooth storytelling and pacing. - Monster encounter timeline and interactions: created and connected the monster encounter timeline with narrative-driven interactions for player immersion. - School scene development and connectivity: progressed the school scene, added the first Ethan dialogue, and linked the school scene to the Backroom entrance to enable seamless progression. - Key acquisition, item usage, and UI testing: implemented key collection mechanics, item usage function, updated control keys UI, and prepared narration scene testing setup. - Audio, visuals, and scene polish: added and integrated audio assets, UI sound invocation, and shadow/post-processing adjustments; introduced fog settings and related visuals for atmosphere. - Final map and scene enhancements: completed last-chase map setup, Ethan’s house connection tests, fullscreen mode support, and ongoing main map refinements. Major bugs fixed: - Transform value corruption: fixed distorted transform values preventing misalignment and visual glitches. - Locker system stability: resolved locker-related errors during timeline interactions and final polish of locker behavior (esc behavior and player respawn position). - Backroom and main map stability: fixed backroom enemy behavior, runtime NPC/resolution/singleton issues in the main map, and general stability hardening. - Build and data integrity: resolved batch build errors, verified data saving integrity up to the first monster encounter, and addressed multiple UI/data persistence issues in the school scene. - Audio and scene reliability fixes: resolved audio issues in the school map and improved sound system consistency across scenes. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Delivered a cohesive, narrative-driven progression with robust scene linking and data integrity, enabling smooth climactic moments and reducing risk of mid- and late-stage regressions. The team now has a stronger foundation for the climactic chase and monster encounters, with a polished audio-visual experience and improved stability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Timeline-based narrative design, animation integration, and event-driven interactions. - Scene linking and data persistence across multiple environments (School, Backroom, and Chase maps). - Audio pipeline integration, UI/UX refinement, and post-processing adjustments. - Build system maintenance, error signaling, and stability engineering. - Version control discipline (commit tracking, cherry-pick adjustments) and cross-team collaboration readiness.

June 2025 - Nightmare-Guide/Nightmare-Guide: Delivered core gameplay and UX enhancements with strong emphasis on reliability, storytelling, and authoring efficiency. Implemented Jump Scare System with complete respawn and reset logic (camera and object resets after scare events), integrated Quest UI across scenes with Action save/branching and search, and added School scene player/enemy respawn points for predictable gameplay flow. Introduced Title Screen start data alert UI to validate launch data, and merged UI branch changes into main for a cohesive UI layer. Progressed on animation polish (seated animation finalized, unified camera animation) and advanced Timeline/Item integration (key-item logic, timeline keys, saving actions; Ethan timeline entry). Cleaned up codebase by removing unused Enemy code, fixed object animation positions, and advanced boss/dialogue updates and scene asset refreshes. Ongoing work includes finalizing Last break room animation and adding final Steven animation for polish.
