Life Beyond gameplay systems
Darewise · Sep 2023 – Dec 2024 · multiplayer survival title in Unreal Engine 5
Life Beyond is a multiplayer survival MMO built in Unreal Engine 5. I built gameplay systems on the Gameplay Ability System and the UI that presents them. I also worked on replication, persistence and gameplay security for the networked title.
What I did
I designed and implemented the inventory, map and minimap, quest, weapon and ability systems with GAS, and architected the gameplay UI in Blueprint and UMG. I reworked weapon collision to improve gameplay feel, and addressed replication, persistence and security concerns. I also diagnosed a complex engine-level defect with a colleague (UE-210315).
