MY CONTRIBUTIONS

Working as a Technical Designer in the project I assisted the project in:

• Created a series of traps that serves challenges to the player which include:

  • Rope Bridge - Utilising physics constraints and mesh spawners, created an adaptable blueprint that can spawn a bridge with a varied amounts of planks

  • Slippery Surface - A open box collision which reduces the friction of the character when inside the box to mimic a slippery or ice surface

  • Barrel Trap - When a player initiates a trigger, it spawns a barrel that will either crash into the player in one instance or would have an infinite spawner 

  • Trap Door - When the player hits atop of the trap door, it closes downwards to trap the player underground

  • Spoon Knight Trap - A trigger is used so that when the player hits the trigger, the Spoon is pushed down and if collided with player then it removes a life

• Created a series of UI elements and functionality

  • Credits - Created a UI element that showcases everyone's work and contributions and created an animation to simulate a rolling credits

  • Win/ Loss - Linking UI elements that helps create the game loop and enable the player to be able to keep playing within the game applications

  • Checkpoint - When passing a checkpoint, it shows the checkpoint UI for a couple seconds to ensure the player that the checkpoint has been reached

  • Player HUD - Created a Player HUD UI that when the player loses a life, it removes on the lives on the indicator and replaces the image to showcase this

• Assisted in a series of bugfixes and QA with notable bugfixes include:

  • Fixed an issue where the first few planks of the bridge would collide and cause a spasm and this was fixed via adding a new variable to limit the physics constraints

  • Fixed Wind Trap where the player's movement speed was fixed even if the wind trap was destroyed and this was solved via an exit trigger
