Computer Graphics Developer in Rio de Janeiro - State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Cockfight is a 3D mobile RPG/card battle multiplayer game. The game is currently in early prototype stage.

I am the lead programmer and architect of both the game client and server. The client is based on Unreal Engine. It is optimized for mobile platforms and leverages GPU shaders and a variety of rendering techniques.

The server is written in modern C++ and Lua, a powerful scripting language whose development team I was part of during college. It features high-performance, multi-threaded networking and REST APIs to communicate with cloud services.

I am also one of the game designers, defining gameplay rules and monetization strategies.

I was the game designer and lead programmer of Brabexia, a massively-multiplayer online 2D RPG game (MMORPG) for Windows and Linux PCs that I created as a hobby, inspired by some of my favorite online games back then. It was online from 2005 to 2008.

I worked mostly on the game server, which was written from the ground up in C++ and Lua. As a real-time game, it required low-latency networking and thousands of simultaneous players. Such performance level was achieved with the aid of parallelism, profiling tools, and highly-optimized code. During peak hours, the game hosted about 7000 players online.

The computer-controlled characters were based on numerous AI techniques such as A* path-finding, State Machines, and Behavior Trees, providing a challenging gameplay experience to the players.

The 2D game client was based on an open-source project that used OpenGL. It was adapted to my game server by rewriting the networking protocol entirely.
