Solo self-funded project with all aspects developed by myself.

The project serves as a test-bed for Game development & production ideas I had from previous projects.

Unity Game Engine is effectively utilised as an Editor and a Renderer, with explicit approaches and custom implementations being made to achieve specific goals:

• strict partition of Engine (Unity) & 'Managed' (My) code, resulting in a single point of contact, and a single instance in the codebase, of MonoBehaviour method calls (Awake, Start, Update, OnDestroy, etc) allowing for explicit control over execution flow on the 'Managed' code layer​​

• fastidious focus on optimisation with a goal of no garbage generation at run-time, resulting in a number of custom systems/implementations including:

  • Custom Event/Interaction Systems with custom raycasters​

  • Custom Direct Input Handling with rebinding and interface switching

  • Custom Binary Writer/Reader replacement

  • Custom Particle Systems utilising GPU instancing

  • Custom Coroutine replacement

  • Custom UI Elements

  • Custom Tweening solution

Editor Tooling to improve production includes:

• Direct Build pipeline access for quick output of builds across three platforms

• Editor Pre-processors (Scripting Define Symbols) hot-swapping to set Editor and Codebase to relative target platform config

• Level Data Code Generation & Source Injection​

• Automated full game playthrough at advanced playback speeds

• User Input Recording, Playback, & Exporting, allowing for testing of game state handling, session life-time memory usage, soaking, etc

• Extended Editor GUI

Utilises HPC# to expose the codebase to any LLVM optimisations available via Burst Compiler​​
