1001: Threads of Mizan

MBC Game Studios & Free Range Games, 2022 - Present

I’ve been working on 1001: Threads of Mizan as a gameplay engineer, a multiplayer game built on Unreal Engine 5’s Gameplay Ability System. I focus on core combat and player characters (Hit reactions, melee combat, special abilities). I often fill a dual role as a designer, answering unsolved questions about combat and player progression.
