After the AI lead left, I was appointed to that spot to start working on improving bots and making new systems from scratch for them as well as adding new behaviors. I also worked on several other systems.

SYSTEM CONTRIBUTIONS
• Spawning system
• Player classes
• Making and fixing tools for mappers and game designers
• Progression/unlock system
• Points-and-perks system
• Character controller system
• Creation of new features for the internal trailer tool system (it was used for recording trailers)

My final contributions included rewriting the entire game settings logic to be as clean and as performant as possible.

This is the game that was my first freelance gig done for the Danish studio called Polyspice. On this project, I was in charge of adding new features, such as new weapons and a separate section in the game called Comedy Club; this was necessary to complete the game. I also heavily experimented with Firebase remote notifications and cloud functions, but that feature never went live.

Tap to the Moon is the first game I developed when the studio was officially formed. I was responsible for prototyping the game. After we validated the prototype, we took on mechanics which were fun and started building other parts of the game. I also added new level segments, the UI, shop, and IAP.

Verdun is the first fully-fledged WW1 Game that got published on Steam all the way back in 2013. I joined the team in 2019 to help finish Tannenberg's development and add new enhancements to Verdun. Although the games are now mainly in the maintenance stage, they were actively under regular development until mid-2020.
