The Volunteer
MY ROLE
-
Designed gameplay systems, including player abilities, object interactions, event systems, and UI.
-
Used state patterns, observer patterns, and C# interfaces for modular and testable code.
-
Linked player state, abilities, interactions, and HUD for seamless gameplay.
-
Developed tools to connect detection systems with objects and enable responsive UI updates.
-
Integrated art, sound, and writing into cohesive systems
DESIGN FOCUSED CODE
One challenge I posed for myself was creating prefabs equipped with scripts that granted agency to anyone working within the engine. As a designer, it is always great when I can work in the scene and create things without having to touch code.
-
Empowering Engine Users: Created prefabs with scripts to grant agency to designers and developers, allowing them to work efficiently within the engine without needing to write code.
-
Scene-Focused Development: Designed systems that could be fully configured within the scene, enhancing accessibility and creative freedom for users.
-
Dynamic Interaction: Developed a switch prefab that dynamically responded to the player's electrical ability and seamlessly connected to other objects to trigger logic.
-
Flexible Functionality: Enabled designers to set up in-scene interactions, such as the player electrocuting a switch to open a door or activate an elevator, through simple prefab connections.
-
Enhanced Usability: Used Unity Gizmos in the elevator prefab to allow visual setting of elevator destinations directly in the engine, simplifying the configuration process.
-
Practical Demonstration: Demonstrated the ease of use by showcasing how to place an elevator prefab in the scene, adjust its destination visually, and connect it to the switch—all within the engine.
