Sonic Forces (Android, iOS)

"Sonic the Hedgehog is back and running in this fast and cool casual multiplayer racing & battle game from SEGA! Run, race, and compete in multiplayer running games with real players from around the world for a true multiplayer experience!"

I currently work as a UI-specialised programmer on the project, in addition to my time on other SEGA HARDlight projects. I am responsible for:

• Collaborating with artists & designers on the development of several major UI/player-facing features. Some examples include:
• Dynamic maintenance screen.
• Character customisation screen.
• New reward screen.
• Developing tools to optimise the character creation pipeline & UI art pipelines.
• Improving key areas of the codebase to allow for greater scalability of new & existing UI systems, as well as optimising on low-end devices.
• Writing studio-wide documentation on UI implementation & best practices. This has helped onboard new colleagues in the same discipline.
