Executive Overview

Aetherial Echoes is a fast-paced 2D/3D kinetic action rogue-lite emphasizing speed, precise movement momentum, and tactile combat impact feel.

Core Engineering Challenge

Generic physics engines (like default Rigidbody) introduce floatiness, non-deterministic collisions, and sloppy jumping responses.

Distributed Node Topology

Data pipeline flow and computational delegation across system layers:

NODE 01Custom C# Controller

Kinematic Motor

Deterministic velocity and collision resolution

NODE 02Custom Time State Manager

Hit-Stop Dispatcher

Global animation and particle frame freeze

NODE 03Cinemachine + Custom Impulse

Camera Shaker

Perlin-noise procedural screen impulse

Architectural Strategy

Built a fully deterministic custom kinematic character controller from scratch in C#. Features custom gravity curves, variable jump height, coyote time, jump buffering, and frame-freeze hit-stop.
