Nova Island

Nova Island is a free-to-play deck builder that sends players on a colorful journey where they’ll meet a wide cast of characters and face opponents in head to head strategic play.

I was brought onto the team in 2020 just after the game had soft launched on app stores. Since then, I have helped the team build out numerous features, reworks, and polish to bring the game to its full 1.0 launch.

As part of a small team, I support several parts of the development process including engineering, design, and planning.

My responsibilities

• Full stack support with focus on Client side engineering

• Oversee optimization to ensure the game runs and looks great on all supported devices

• Implement core code architecture to speed up development and standardize implementation methods

• Plan, estimate, and break up new features into actionable tasks

• Implement large game features

  • Friends List

  • Arcade machine progression system

  • Primary progress visualization in Research Road

  • Card/cosmetic collection sorting and filtering
