My Contributions

  • Programmed a speedrun mode

  • Programmed an in-game shop system

  • Implemented new UI + UI changes

  • Various bug fixing

  • Cutscene Implementation

As a Programmer and Game Designer, I worked across gameplay systems, UI, and player experience features. I programmed the in-game shop system, including cosmetics usage, purchasing integration, and shop UI, and developed a speedrun mode with timed tracking to encourage replayability. I implemented and integrated story cutscenes to support narrative flow, and built and refined menus and in-game UI elements to ensure clarity and usability. Additionally, I identified and resolved gameplay and performance issues across builds and conducted internal playtesting to balance gameplay, pacing, and accessibility for the target audience.
