About My Work in This Project
I joined the team early in the development proccess, so I was given the oportunity to expand existing systems and develop new ones.
This were my main contributions to the project:
- I designed and implemented a background Subtitle System integrated with audio, removing the need for gameplay engineers to manually display subtitles. This are some of the features I included in the system:
- Subtitle queuing and priorization.
- Text formatting using rich text.
- UI widget for displaying subtitles.
- Subtitle time averaging for missing timing data.
- A text parser with a markup catalog for structured subtitle management. The parser was able to get a chunck of text with the entire dialogue, and separate it in lines. Each of the lines could have some metadata such as:
- Speaker
- Start time
- End time
- Delay
- Art Subtitles for dynamic text from in-game props.
- Closed Captions.
- Custom solution for subtitle localization, handling culture-specific text and independent from the main game culture.
- I expanded the Damage Pipeline by reafactoring and enhancing existing damage states to handle stacking logic for interactions with systems applying the same damage state. I also unified and standardized damage-over-time logic for all damage states.
- I developed new ammunition types for Grenade Launcher and proximity mines.
- I implemented and reworked some abilities in the game.
- I designed an achievement system using the observer pattern for in-game events tracking.
