One of my initial tasks was to do a review of the codebase and +suggest improvements. From there, I implemented a few changes, and +refactored a bit. + +The immediate issue was performance, there were several systems in the +game which caused significant issues in both editor and runtime +performance. This involved getting quite deep into the Unity profiling +tools and picking apart the codebase to identify the issue, before +proposing solutions to solve the problems, liasing with the team to +establish potential issues with it, and implementing the new +redesigns. + +One other issue established early on was that the game was not being +coded defensively, and was throwing errors very frequently. Unity +helpfully tries to ignore these and continue executing. This was +causing some odd bugs, so I implemented a similar BSoD that I created +for the [[url_for:cv,slug=10][Guitar Hero Live Companion App]], which initially got some +pushback from the rest of the team, but was quickly accepted as being +a useful tool to remain enabled. + +[[url_for_img:static,file=images/cv/photo-1634832413517-7f48f67e3da4.jpeg][Photo by Adam Jícha on Unsplash]] |
