Four engines. One toolkit.

Different philosophies, different toolchains. Picking the right engine for the project is half the design problem — and I've shipped commercially on all four.

Roots of the Forgotten God

UNREAL ENGINE 5 · STYLIZED PBR · MODULAR KIT

A personal world-building project. A snowbound sanctuary devoted to what grows beneath the world — a god of roots and harvest worshipped long before the songs about him were written down, now locked under permafrost where the magma underneath still remembers the warmth. Built from a custom modular kit of ornate stone arches, runestones, and twisted column-work; lit with painterly snow accumulation, depth-refracted ice, and the slow heat-glow of the borderlands beyond the gate.

The Legend of Morvgard

UNITY 2023 · C# · IDLE RPG · MVG STUDIO

Built the full gameplay loop for this idle fantasy RPG from scratch in Unity. The battle engine runs on a tick-based timeline — each hero and enemy has an attack interval, a stat block, and an ability trigger evaluated every frame against a shared combat clock. Characters auto-engage but skill activations are manual, so the game sits in the idle sweet spot: playable when you’re watching, functional when you’re not. I wrote the chapter progression system that swaps environments, enemy rosters, and boss definitions from scriptable-object configs, meaning new chapters ship without touching a line of runtime code. The six-character party system handles ability stacking, status effects (poison, stun, bleed), and the heal–damage duality that makes Lizzy Toxin work as both support and assassin. Boss encounters layer a health-threshold phase system on top of the base tick loop, spawning elite enemies mid-fight and triggering screen-shake and particle bursts through a lightweight event bus. UI is fully data-driven: resource bars, card portraits, chapter maps, and the season-pass HUD all bind to the same underlying game-state model, so swapping in a new theme is a prefab swap, not a refactor.

Alien Verse

UNREAL ENGINE 5 · C++ · FPS SHOOTER

A sci-fi FPS built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5. I engineered the full gameplay layer: a dual-mode weapon system where each gun switches between a precision fire mode and an area burst, with distinct stat profiles, recoil curves, and reticle behaviour per mode. The gadget wheel is a radial context menu implemented as a slate widget — it reads the player’s current loadout from a data-asset registry, renders slot previews live, and feeds selection events back through a lightweight dispatcher so any system can react without coupling. The faction NPC system drives trust-level gating on missions, dialogue trees, and shop inventory; faith rank and currency both persist across sessions via a serialised game-instance subsystem. Boss encounters run on a phase-state machine: each threshold triggers a cinematic camera blend, a new ability set for the enemy, and a mid-arena event spawn, all coordinated through sequencer tracks fired from Gameplay Tags. The spider-class boss in the opening uses procedural IK to plant all eight legs on the irregular geometry of the environment without manual animation pass.

The Legend of Morvgard

UNITY · C# · IDLE RPG · MVG STUDIO · 2026

A personal idle fantasy RPG concept built around strong silhouettes, readable UI, and bold character personalities. The goal was to create a cohesive mobile game world — from logo design and key visual to full battle interface layout across three chapters, each with a distinct environment and enemy roster. Six hero characters were designed with clear archetypes: knight, summoner, alchemist, berserker, mage, and rogue.

▸ SECTION_03 capabilities.matrix 6 DOMAINS

Capabilities matrix.

What I actually do inside an engine. Not what's on the syllabus.

Gameplay Systems

Combat, ability frameworks, AI behaviour trees, state machines, inventory and economy systems that survive contact with actual playtesters.

Multiplayer & Network

Dedicated servers, lag compensation, server-authoritative architectures, anti-exploit telemetry. The hard part of online games, done quietly.

Editor Tools

Slate panels, custom asset types, Unity editor windows, Roblox plugins. If designers wait on engineers, the project is already late.

Shaders & Rendering

HLSL and GLSL, custom materials, post-process effects, render features. I won't write you a renderer from scratch, but I'll bend yours into shape.

Performance

Frame budgets, allocator audits, garbage-collection pressure, draw-call surgery. Hitting 60fps on a mid-tier mobile device is a craft I respect.

Build & Pipeline

CI/CD for game projects, asset pipelines, automated builds, version-control hygiene. The boring scaffolding that makes shipping on time possible.

LONDON · UK
51.51° N / −0.13° W

Started writing Roblox mods at fourteen on a hand-me-down laptop in south London. Picked up C++ because Unity wouldn't let me touch the renderer the way I wanted. Wrote my first multiplayer netcode at sixteen and broke it spectacularly at seventeen — which is when the learning actually started.

Today the split is roughly three ways: contract gameplay engineering for studios, original titles released under the CodemX label, and the occasional engine deep-dive that turns into an open-source tool other people end up shipping with.

London-based. Work remote across timezones. Keep weird hours. Don't apologise for them.
