Vetted Game Designers in Remote

“Gameplay systems designer/engineer with shipped experience across mobile RPG and co-op/AAA shooters, including full ownership of an in-game economy and multiple end-to-end gameplay systems. Strong in data-driven Unreal (C++ + Blueprints) workflows, building flexible subsystems and using simulation/telemetry (Excel/VBA, metrics tools) to tune progression, monetization, and encounter balance.”

“Game designer on Madden NFL (incl. Madden NFL 26) who contributed to Superstar Showdown mode rules and weekly Game Day Beats objectives, focusing on playtest-driven tuning to keep challenges fun and achievable. Also owned the Superstar storefront experience, coordinating with art/design under tight timelines and adapting live-service merchandising based on what players responded to.”

“Game designer with shipped experience creating and tuning alternative modes for a beer-pong-inspired title (Bounce Shot), including convention playtests that turned modes into fan favorites and sparked community-run tournaments. Also contributed to late-game retention improvements on Deer Hunter 2014 by increasing mission variety through themed animal randomization, generating organic buzz across forums and social channels. Prototypes quickly in UE5 Blueprints and writes implementation-ready mode specs with UX/animation/economy considerations.”

“Technical game designer/Unity developer who has shipped across PC, consoles, web, and mobile, with a strong focus on performance optimization (culling/occlusion, event-driven patterns, sprite atlasing) including for Nintendo Switch constraints. Served as feature owner on Risk of Rain 2 DLC "Alloyed Collective" (characters, bosses, items, interactables, enemies) and acted as project lead during a critical transition, stepping in to rescue a playable character design to meet client requirements.”

“Unreal Engine generalist (7 years) with hands-on ownership of end-to-end gameplay systems in real-time 3D C++ and UE5, spanning technical level design, animation/locomotion features, and multiplayer replication. Worked on a shipped Steam title ("Peak 53") implementing replicated systems like prone, scope, and ladder, and has also built MMORPG time/weather systems and a projectile/rocket launcher feature for a demo (Meta Island).”
