SENIOR GAME DEVELOPER
LOST NATIVE
Wild Country is a fantastical strategy game where players use beautifully illustrated cards to construct buildings and perform abilities to build the best city. Buildings score points, and the first to reach the objective wins!
WILD COUNTRY
Wild Country combines CCG gameplay with innovative mechanics inspired by classic city-building games to create something unique and approachable. This game is for people looking for something wholesome, comedic, strategic, and full of things to do.
My role
Senior Game Developer
I joined Wild Country as one of the first few people to join the team and I was responsible for the development of a large number of areas of the game. The team initially consisted of me and the Technical director and we were later joined by a junior developer. I was responsible for writing a large number of the core services that would later be consumed across the game including input systems, file management, asset management, messaging service. I also handled large parts of the optimisation which enabled the game to run at a constant 60fps on PC. I later ported the game to Switch making sure all operations and performance were up to an acceptable level. Using AWS GameLift, I also rewrote the matchmaking and server routing systems.
