– Developed the core treasure digging system inspired by Sea of Thieves, where players must repeatedly dig in the same location multiple times before fully revealing treasure. – Implemented progressive treasure uncovering mechanics to create a more immersive and satisfying digging experience for players. – Integrated imported assets and environmental feedback to improve the visual appeal and overall feel of the digging mechanic. – Identified and resolved gameplay issues discovered during playtesting, particularly related to scene component setup and treasure interaction behaviour. – Created an item pickup and dropping system inspired by Sea of Thieves, where dropped items instantly reposition to the floor for smoother gameplay interaction. – Evaluated different implementation approaches, including physics-based interactions, before deciding on a more stable and efficient solution with the team. – Developed a pedestal system where players must place the correct artefacts into pedestals to unlock doors and progress further into the level. – Communicated with team members through meetings and discussions to coordinate unfinished mechanics and ensure systems could be completed collaboratively. – Developed the shovel interaction and digging system, including hit detection and interaction tracing for terrain detection. – Implemented ray tracing logic connected to player animations and interaction systems to detect valid digging areas. – Worked closely with the team to refine gameplay feel, including adjusting shovel swing timing and interaction placement based on feedback. – Recognised the importance of communication in collaborative development and used the experience to improve teamwork, coordination, and technical discussion skills across the project.
