Men in Black: Most Wanted

VR Action Puzzle game, where I was mostly responsible for Audio Implementation and Player VR locomotion.

Key Contributions

• Implemented systems preventing players from leaning into out-of-bounds areas, resolving major edge-case exploits.
• Fixed several VR locomotion issues, including getting stuck on geometry and handling moving platforms.
• Integrated SFX and VFX triggers, ensuring audio/visual events fired at correct gameplay timings.
• Resolved widespread localisation issues, including broken UI layouts and missing translations.
• Developed a Tutorial UI menu, including logic for tracking and saving viewed tutorials.
• Implemented a Language Selection menu with persistent settings.

Gameplay Systems

I implemented logic to prevent players from bypassing the playspace boundaries, including lean-detection and collision checks tailored for VR. I also addressed locomotion issues such as getting stuck on slopes or clipping through moving platforms by refining movement handling and collision resolution.

UI/UX

I rebuilt multiple UI screens, including the Tutorial Menu which tracks player progress and writes data into the game’s save system. I also ensured localisation-safe UI layouts, fixing text overflow, alignment problems, and untranslated fields throughout the game.

Audio Integration

Worked with the audio and VFX teams to ensure key sequences fired their effects reliably and at the correct in-game moments. This included hooking gameplay event triggers to sound cues, particle effects, and environmental interactions.

Development Infastructure

To support collaboration, I set up and maintained a Perforce server for the project, including depot structure, user permissions, and workspace mappings. This allowed the team to iterate smoothly even under the 1-week time limit.

Localisation Support

Performed extensive debugging of localisation issues across multiple languages. Adjusted UI prefabs, text containers, and sizing logic to ensure all languages rendered correctly.

Final Thoughts

Worked closely with designers, audio specialists, and producers to deliver timely fixes during a fast-paced VR production. Took ownership of several systems, proactively identifying broken behaviours, proposing solutions, and implementing fixes with minimal turnaround time.
