Primary Monetization Developer

Developed two major features to support both monetization and player retention:

Designed and maintained a Piggy Bank feature where players completed in-game tasks to earn rewards, which they could then purchase to unlock. This provided strong value while encouraging continued play as players worked toward their rewards.

Developed a Chain Offers feature that presented progressively more valuable offers, including free offers, unlocked after a player purchased an earlier, lower-cost offer. This enabled the team to provide attractive, and sometimes free, rewards following an initial purchase.

Primary UI Developer

Implemented and maintained UI systems, screens, and widgets, including communication between UI, gameplay, and backend systems.

Created tools for designers and artists to work with game data and build levels.

Gameplay Developer

Partnered closely with game designers on gameplay systems, creating nodes for a visual scripting system so they could build and iterate on gameplay.

Optimized code, implemented new gameplay systems, and helped designers set up and integrate AI into their workflows.

Prototype Gameplay Developer

Led gameplay development during prototyping, rapidly creating and iterating on game mechanics to explore and validate ideas.

Unity & Backend Metagame Developer

Developed metagame features across Unity and backend systems during production.

Created a widely used event system that was later adopted by other Fortis projects.

Implemented a localization workflow combining Addressables for versioning with Google Sheets for rapid content iteration.

Built the backend for the metagame, including inventory management, equipment statistics, player data, and data migration.

Gameplay Developer

Developed backward reconciliation for cancellable actions predicted by the client. This allowed the game to correct predicted outcomes when an action was no longer valid—for example, when a player tried to get caught by a trap that had already caught another player.

Metagame Developer

Developed the friends system, including friend invitations delivered through push notifications, and updated matchmaking so friends could invite one another to play.

Created a card merge system that allowed players to combine multiple cards into a more powerful card.
