What I did

• Owned the full in-engine implementation and technical direction across gameplay, systems, UI, platform services, and release operations.
• Architected the project as a modular Unity codebase (Core, Services, Systems, Gameplay, UI, Infrastructure) using explicit contracts and bootstrap-time dependency composition.
• Implemented a typed event bus to decouple gameplay, UI, and support systems, improving iteration speed and reducing cross-system coupling.
• Built a live balancing pipeline with remote config, ETag caching, local fallback, and runtime apply, enabling safe tuning without a full client rebuild.
• Designed and implemented progression and economy logic, including growth curves, stat-driven formulas, and crystal pricing tied to gameplay outcomes.
• Engineered a resilient save lifecycle with delayed writes, forced save on quit, playtime synchronization, and persistence for time-based cooldown state.
• Created custom internal Unity Editor tooling for Item Library content production (create, rename, delete, and data sync workflows).
• Delivered desktop-pet interaction polish: cursor interaction modes, drag safety constraints, screen clamping, monitor controls, screenshot capture, and care-state visual feedback.
• Optimized player feedback systems with object pooling and event-driven update paths for responsive runtime performance.
• Integrated Steam through a platform abstraction layer and built CI/CD pipelines for branch-based versioning, automated release flow, and Steam deployment.
