• Pushed technical boundaries creating satisfying physics based interactables for level design set pieces.

• Utilized C# scripting to craft AI behaviors for enemy types that align with the game’s vision.

• Applied proprietary physics system over character animations after extensive research and development.

• Collaborated with design and art on responsive player controls and visual effects within project’s schedule.

• Studied and chose to use the Finite State Machine method to prototype the base enemy AIs

• Layering path finding logic and animation states to move Zombie Enemy Types.

• Making sure that ragdoll physics take over and at the correct times without messing up the character orientation when walking. (4:36-5:18)

• My prototype of those Zombie Enemies would serve as the base class for all the Nullbodies to Headset Crab enemies throughout the game.

• All using the same locomotion system and Finite State Machine.

• Designed and coded the Battery Interaction, the Lever, and Garage Door.

• Each object uses physics joints to move or turn. Allowing for objects to obstruct things, such as the door being kept from closing.

• Each door presented a challenge, but none as much of as the garage door. As I had to make sure the visuals and physics were aligned whenever the door opened or closed at variable speeds.

• Also created an event system call for the internal voltage logic for powering and moving the door and other items.

  (4:41-4:52)

• Worked on other physics based features such as the buttons. (14:00-14:07)

• The Rope Lift, I made to carry players who grabbed onto it along a path.

• The path could change directions, speed, and could be spawned by designers as long as they move the start and end points of the lift in editor.
