• Planned and built the town layout

Scripting

The portals were the most significant challenge of this game. A single pair of portals is relatively easy, but as our town started to fill up with final assets it became apparent that we were much closer to our frame budget than we had expected, and the extra cameras needed to render the portals could tank the framerate. I rushed to optimize the portals and the rest of the scene rendering before our deadline, and made significant progress, but ultimately the frame rate dip when portals are on-screen is still noticable, and some of my fixes introduced noticable artifacts.

When I have time I plan to revisit this project and fix those issues.
