Experience
We decided to launch this project as a duo to finally create the game we’ve always dreamed of: a multiplayer survival FPS. I handle all the Blueprint programming, leveraging Unreal Engine’s latest tools for both gameplay mechanics and optimization. The goal is to build a seamless and immersive experience that lives up to our vision.
