Rewind to the end of last year (2024). I began taking the senior software engineering project and had the opportunity to choose from the myriad of different projects to work on. How was I to choose? When I noticed the Language Immersion Virtual Environment (LIVE), I thought, “Wow, this sounds pretty exciting. I wonder what it would be like working in a group on a Video Game like this”. That was all I really needed to justify signing up for it. I had previous experience working with Unity as a hobby and was excited to see how it would play out.
How have things panned out?
I would argue that the project is going well! Here are some screenshots of the current game.
As you can see, the world is really coming together! Earlier on in the project, I took the mantle of foundational code development, creating some of the core systems the game would rely on. But as we reach the end of the project, I have quite enjoyed simply working on environment design.
I am currently working on interior scenes that the player will be able to navigate and interact with for this upcoming version update. So, to summarize, things are going well!
