Features / Work Completed / Responsibilities
- Designed Reigns-like game with financial mechanics for football club management
- Implemented gameplay logic, UI systems, and pixel art assets
- Created production tools using ANTLR4 for grammar parsing
- Wrote code, pixel art and UI in a two-person team, plus internal tooling for Excel sheet synchronization and parsing
- Built GitLab CI/CD pipeline for automated deployment
Highlights
Worked as one of two team members across code, pixel art, UI and internal tooling (Excel sheet synchronization and parsing)—rare opportunity to own a large share of a project from concept to prototype. The Reigns-inspired mechanic combined with financial simulations created engaging decision-making gameplay. Report and documentation work refined my ability to communicate technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders.
What I Learned / Personal Conclusion
Learned the value of vertical slicing—completing features fully rather than rough-sketching many. ANTLR4 grammar parsing for game data proved powerful for workflow automation. Balancing multiple production hats (code, art, tools, docs) highlighted where delegation and tooling matter most.
