My Role & Contributions

I worked as the Lead Programmer (elected by my teammates) on Fail Apart, built in Unreal Engine 5.6.1 using C++ and Blueprint.

I was mainly responsible for the player systems, including the split/merge character architecture, movement, physics interactions, animation-driven mechanics, and input routing (keyboard, single-gamepad, and dual local co-op support).

Additionally, I extended systems started by teammates, including rope climbing, wall climbing, and the kick mechanic, and contributed across the broader codebase through code review and pair debugging.

In the meantime, I collaborated with the team using Git/GitHub for version control and Jira for task tracking.

This project was the 3rd Game Project of my Game Programming course at Futuregames Warsaw. It took 8 weeks in total and out of 12 groups of 12-13 people each, Fail Apart was selected as 1st place on Futuregames Warsaw's Jury Day.
