Game Dev · Team Project

Furnish-Frenzy

Unity C# HLSL

A first-person, 3D interactive shop-lifting game with enemy NPCs and a police AI that hunts you down. I built the Options Menu (UI Toolkit), the level-progression system, thrown-item damage detection, the combat UI (health bars and damage indicators), and the police system (detection, pursuit, timers, and the "busted" screen). Collaborated with a team of six using a full branch / PR / rebase Git workflow.
