LEGO Star Wars: Starfall Rebellion

My contribution

In my central role within this project, I assumed the position of Gameplay Programmer, dedicating an entire year to the collaborative development and enhancement of pivotal gameplay components. This encompassed a comprehensive overhaul of critical facets, including player movement, character switching, jumping, dashing, and the fundamental player abilities, most notably the force and hacking mechanics. I undertook the full ownership of the game's state machine and script architecture, thereby significantly elevating the overall player experience.

This endeavor provided me with a valuable opportunity to advance my proficiency in 3D mathematics and linear algebra. I leveraged these skills in conjunction with the Bullet Physics library, which served as the project's foundation for robust physics simulations and interactions.

Notably, I crafted a sophisticated input processing system, capable of seamlessly handling controller inputs, joysticks, triggers, and introducing gamepad rumble features, which significantly enriched player immersion. In addition to these technical responsibilities, I undertook camera improvements within the initial game level, introduced dynamic particle systems to augment the visual appeal of various UI elements, and contributed by generating art assets for the in-game environments, utilizing software tools like Blender and Substance Painter.

Furthermore, I extended my support to the UI team, where I played a vital role in refining menus and options for a seamless user experience. Beyond the realms of game development, I took on the multifaceted role of maintaining the project's website and managing its presence across social networks, a responsibility I executed with a high degree of autonomy.
