I worked as a Game Programmer building core gameplay and combat systems. Hero shooters add a layer of complexity beyond standard multiplayer games – each character has unique abilities, and balancing those abilities across different game modes (TDM and BR) required careful system design. The ability framework needed to be modular enough to support new heroes without rewriting existing logic.
Key technical work included implementing the hero ability system, working on the matchmaking and lobby flow, and optimizing network code for real-time 4v4 combat on mobile. One of the trickier aspects was making ability effects feel impactful and responsive even with the latency inherent in mobile networking. The game’s commercial success and strong review scores validated the approach.
