JACK
Working on "JACK" was a unique experience in advancing my skill set. The game is a beautiful 2d platformer which focuses heavily on physics puzzles. Gameplay programming was very tricky to get right and achieve a predictable interactivity feedback. Besides, the game has some very unique visuals and art with philosophical elements, and that ticks all my nerd boxes!
- Professional team software development practices, including unit testing and version control.
- Prototyping core gameplay for rapid iteration.
- Creative vector math and linear algebra for a physically complex controller.
- Additive scene loading management.
- Implement application state logic.
- Integrate visual and audio assets.
- Preliminary performance optimization.
- Physics manipulation:
- Rigidbodies scale and hierarchy optimization.
- Reducing floating Point precision errors by limiting: forces, torques, velocities, masses, limiting distance from game's origin.
- Creative and complex solutions for predictable rigidbody movement without altering rigidbody's inner parameters or attached transform.
- Optimizing the controller to work in different gravity strengths, directions and also different time scales.
