Echoes Between Dimensions

Systems implemented

• Enemy state machine with seven states — sleep, wake, chase, attack, lose target, patrol, back to sleep — plus stuck detection, so an agent that fails to make progress recovers instead of grinding against geometry.
• Camera mode switching between third and first person that preserves look direction across the transition, rather than snapping the player to a default orientation.
• Root-motion CharacterController movement, so animation drives displacement and foot contact stays believable.
• Line-of-sight and range-gated scanner interaction on a timer — the interaction only resolves while the target stays visible and in range for the full duration.
• Weapon heat and overheat system, which converts fire rate from a hard cooldown into a resource the player manages.
• Health, death and respawn flow, and a minimap.

Built for ECE4208 (Game Programming). All gameplay scripts, systems and animation state logic are mine; models, terrain heightmaps, particle prefabs and animation clips were supplied by the course.
