Description

A 10-minute interactive digital art piece created for Nuit Blanche 2021 (displayed during 2022). I was brought on a couple of months before the event due to my experience with the Nuit Blanche 2022 project and my experience with Unity/C#. Previously, it had been programmed primarily by the project's producer, leaving little time to fix anything that wasn't immediately breaking.


I mostly handled debugging and testing for potential problems, fixing bugs and issues as they cropped up, such as missing boundaries, performance issues, broken UI, sequence-breaking, etc. I also added a guide system using leftover assets from previous iterations to animate a guide of footprints along a path, showing people where to go. Additionally, I added a 'portal' asset to make a target/transition area more obvious.
