Outcome
I implemented grappling traversal and combat mechanics, supported level scripting, and pitched early gameplay ideas through Unity prototypes.
Challenge
The project needed traversal and combat to feel punchy while still fitting the constraints of a custom engine and a student-team schedule.
Highlights
