Action metroidvania (Unreal Engine 5)
In development, unannounced
C++ and GAS gameplay architecture, a combo graph and designer tools for an unannounced UE5 action metroidvania.
One framework under every game
Three of the studio's games had grown apart. Each had its own save layer, its own debug panel and its own snapshot format.
I brought them onto one shared framework, then built the pipeline around it so a new title starts with all of it in place: config, debug tools, snapshots, build modes, Snapser, achievements, economy, accessibility and the release audit. The arcade snake title was the first to bootstrap that way, from day one.
The framework now runs under 7 hypercasual titles, and I am adapting it to the team's mid tier narrative deckbuilder, across three project scopes: hypercasual, mid tier, and practices carried over from the Unreal Engine 5 work.
I owned the studio's hypercasual line end to end: game design, development, and the tools and build pipeline behind every title. I ran the line's meetings and set its priorities and milestones. I worked with the studio's UI/UX designer, 2D artist, sound engineer, build engineer, technical director and writers to shape the pipeline around each discipline's workflow, so art, audio, UX and narrative drop in through tools built for them, and the line scales with the team rather than around one person.
