Contributions
Game Design Flow: Designed user flow, UI elements, and behaviour trees in comprehensive reports and game documentation.
Implementation: Responsible for taking several major features from conception to design and ultimately fully implemented them.
Playtesting: tested various iterations of the game with several groups of players over the course of development.
Custom Scripting (C#): Programmed nearly every feature I was involved on, such as animation, NPC behaviour, interactable objects, player controller, etc.
Our VR app features NPC movement, pathfinding, animations, and environment interactions which I programmed from day 1.
As I worked on a VR based app, we encouraged and underwent internal and external playtesting regularly to find ways to improve user experience wherever we could.
When coding, I encouraged a thorough commenting system to future-proof scripts for new developers whether I remained on the project or moved on elsewhere.
I designed many NPC interaction, UI, QoL, and pathfinding features in my time with MARC. In some cases, I utilized dialogue trees to showcase user experience with a helper AI before implementing to test and proof the idea.
The previous dialogue tree, continued.
In addition to programming and implementing new features, I also spent time designing a new set of UI/UX features. Some of this can be read below.
