Using Unreal Engine 5 and C++, I created a custom character controller inheriting from the APawn class
The controller uses curves to determine the velocity and acceleration of the character
The controller supports acceleration from slopes, unique air movement, quick turns, jumping, wall sliding, and wall jumping
Designers can make any number of chained jumps by adding customizable JumpCurves to a JumpCurve array

Using C#, I wrote the code for the movement of a submarine, which can either go at a constant velocity, or use jerk and acceleration.
- The constant velocity mode exists to help with motion sickness in VR
- The goal of the jerk/acceleration mode is to allow for the option of smooth movement
Using C#, I created a highly flexible flocking manager which can be used to control a group of objects like they are a school of fish.
I used Unity's Job System to optimize the fish, so that up to 300 fish could be on screen without taking the framerate below 90 fps.
Using Behavior Trees and Unity, I created custom behaviors utilizing the settings of the flocking manger, such as forming a cylindrical shape or following a path.

I programmed the player movement to happen in short bursts to emulate a breathe stroke.
I used Unity's forces to control the floatation of objects in the water.
I used Unity's AnimationCurve variable type to control the intensity of the vignette and focus distance effects that enhance the experience.
I used an audio mixer to muffle all of the sounds by lowering the pitch when the player character becomes exhausted.
The waves were done using Unity's HDRP Water System.

I programmatically animated HUD elements using a custom Action List class which handles tasks happening over a period of time.
I utilized Unity's vignette features to add feedback to using items.
I utilized Unity's focus distance feature to draw the player's attention away from the background when the weapon wheel is open.

I designed and implemented a diegetic menu interface with custom camera interpolation logic written in C#.
- The interface consists of a main menu view, a Play Game button, an options menu, a credits menu, and an Exit Game menu.
Using C#, I created intuitive feedback for interactions with buttons and sliders.
Using C# and Unity, I created a custom group of UI elements for cycling through options for a setting.
Using Unity's animator, I created intuitive animations for menu elements during transition events.

Using C#, behavior trees, and linear algebra, I created combat behaviors for base, shield, archer, and brute enemy types.
I used animations from mixamo to add visual feedback to the enemies' actions.
- `Interpolation was used to line up the enemy for finisher animations.
I implemented design decisions for the enemies:
- enemies surround the player in a circle
- enemies attack one at a time
- hit, finisher, grapple, stun, block, move, and attack states
- enemies go into a ragdoll state when dying
