What I did
Led the programming team (two developers, later one) and worked on every feature of the game.
3C — character, camera and controls: character movement, two-player co-op camera, Enhanced Input setup.
Gameplay: combat and combo system, hit detection and damage, super powers, enemy AI with Behavior Trees (custom tasks and services).
UI with UMG and CommonUI: HUD, menus, shop, skill tree and complete settings screens (video, audio, controls).
Editor tools and a custom editor module to speed up the team's workflow.
Console porting and optimization for Nintendo Switch, PS5 and Xbox One.
Handled the full integration of the game into Amazon Luna GameNight.
