Jeffrey Bennett

About

Senior Unity developer who built a v2 narrative fiction engine end-to-end, including a portable TypeScript/JavaScript inkjs processing core and a Unity UI package that creators found significantly easier to use than the prior version. Has shipped cross-platform VR (Meta Quest) and mobile titles, implemented Unity Netcode multiplayer with host-authoritative flow, and integrated LLM-driven gameplay with automated agent-based testing and regression coverage.

Key Strengths

• Designed for portability/reuse via a separate TypeScript/JavaScript core library integrated into Unity
• Improved creator usability vs prior v1; high content-creator satisfaction and excitement
• Pragmatic LLM integration for mobile games (prompt filtering + pre-baked responses + UX for latency)
• Automated regression testing and agent-based playthrough testing (including LLM prompt coverage)
• Shipped multiplayer with Unity Netcode using host-as-server architecture and reconnect/AI takeover handling
• Cross-platform VR (Quest) + mobile shipping experience with platform-specific input/UI/performance adaptations
