(2D Point and Click Management Sim | August 2025 - Current)

Role: Solo Dev

A obstacle I had faced was all scripts in my game would run at the same time in the start method. This caused scripts to run before Manager scripts --causing many null errors as scripts would be referencing objects that weren't found yet.

To fix it, I connected all my Managers to the 'GameManager' script so it could detect when they finished running. After all the Managers are done setting up, an Event Delegate is called to run any scripts that needed to start after all Managers.

After doing all of that I realized having my managers in Awake would suffice since its a smaller project, but this is nice to have if my project grows and my Managers take some time to finish running.

Artic Towers

(2D Mobile Block Stacking | December 2024)

Role: Programmer

Something I challenged with in this project was the block dropping. The blocks needed to be physics based because they need to fall down and slide a little when landing, but its impossible to stack more than 10 if they are all Dynamic.

So, once a block drops and lands it gets added to a list. After a certain amount of blocks have been dropped a script will look at the first Object in the list and change the Body type on the Rigidbody2D from Dynamic to static

I believe this best solution especially with its tight time frame of 2 weeks. The one thing I would change about this script after knowing what I know now, would be some of the names of some variables.

Return Of The Brian

(2D Arcade, Space Invaders like | December 2024)

Role: Programmer

This was a game jam game and the movement of the enemy was my biggest obstacle. All the enemies needed to move in sync and when one hits the side of the screen they all need to move to the opposite direction in sync.

My fix was make a prefab that laid out a group of enemies. Each enemy was a copy of the enemy prefab. The 'GameManager' spawns this group prefab, and once they appear, the movement script makes them move to the right. There are two wall colliders on each side of the screen, and when either one detects an enemy, it tells the group to switch direction.

That caused another challenge. I needed to make sure that the walls only detected one of the enemies, or else it will glitch and shake the group a little before going the opposite direction. My solution was once the walls detect one enemy, a timer will start running and will discard any other interactions it has within the set time frame.
