Project Description

Anomaly is a high-stakes PvPvE extraction shooter built for VR, where up to 12 players fight through a disaster-stricken city, battle unearthly creatures, and outsmart rival squads to secure valuable loot before extracting. With deep weapon customization, strategic decision-making, and intense multiplayer encounters, Anomaly delivers an immersive and adrenaline-fueled experience.

Developing Anomaly involved overcoming unique challenges in VR optimization, networking, and AI, ensuring smooth performance on mobile VR hardware while maintaining engaging, fast-paced gameplay.

My Contributions

While working on Anomaly, I focused on key aspects of UI systems, AI behavior, and networking to enhance the game’s real-time multiplayer experience.

• UI & Backend: Designed and implemented modular UI components for scalability and reusability. Developed a style-sheet system to streamline design iteration and worked on core systems such as Vendor, Character Customization, and HUD. Led the localization effort for the entire project and resolved various UI-related bugs.
• AI Development: Implemented HTN-based AI behavior using fluid-hierarchical-task-network, improving enemy decision-making based on auditory and visual memory. Developed systems for enemy perception, target acquisition, aggro management, and state transitions, while fine-tuning behaviors and fixing AI-related bugs.
• Networking: Tackled networking-related challenges, including integrating PlayFab and ensuring seamless multiplayer synchronization with Photon Fusion.
• Art Integration: Integrated avatar models and hand poses to align with character customization and animations.
• World & Scene Management: Standardized open-world scene organization to improve collaboration between developers and artists. Optimized scene management by enabling area isolation, mesh combination, and art performance improvements.
