Hiya! I’m an experienced Unreal Engine Developer with more than 7 years developing games via Unreal Engine, C++ and Blueprints.

At the moment I’m Lead Programmer at Montraluz Studio, and freelance Unreal Developer at Pacard Games. Experience includes gameplay programming, player interaction mechanics, UI/UMG, dynamic world events, VR and performance optimization.

Games developed have been published on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and I’d be excited to join you guys on Elemental Arena game and help out particularly with the gameplay systems, combat mechanics, player abilities, and Unreal Engine Development overall.

Looking to hear more about your project and current requirements from you guys.

Please contact me for my Portfolio/CV.

Hi! I’m interested in contributing to Elemental Arena as a Character Rigger.

My main strengths are Maya rigging, including IK/FK systems, ribbon-based rigs, deformation, and Python tools to streamline rigging workflows. I’ve also worked with UE5 character integration, including Control Rig, IK-based foot placement, Blueprints, and animation state machines.

I’m passionate about character and creature rigging, and I’m willing to dedicate time to contributing to the project, collaborating with the team, and continuing to grow through hands-on game development.

Hi! I wanted to give you a proper brief about the project.

I’m looking for someone to lead the actual development of Aetherveil, a large-scale, original 3D open-world anime RPG in Unreal Engine 5.8.

The vision is to combine:

  • Anime action RPG: fully playable characters, combat, abilities, bosses, quests, exploration and progression.

  • Life simulation: school and campus life, friendships, relationships, romance, NPC routines, events, shops, housing and enterable buildings.

  • Cyberpunk open world: a huge futuristic city with skyscrapers, neon districts, transport systems, interiors, cafes, nightlife and hidden locations.

  • Vehicles and exploration: cars, motorcycles, boats, aircraft, helicopters and vehicle customisation.

  • Cosmic expansion: spaceports, orbital locations, floating cities, alien environments and secret realms.

The visual ambition is premium AAA-style anime graphics, with Wuthering Waves as a broad quality reference, but everything must be original. I don’t want a basic prototype, low-poly assets or fake gameplay systems.

I’ve attached my full master specification. Please read it carefully because it contains the detailed requirements, systems, world design and development instructions. The intended approach is to build a genuinely playable, polished vertical slice first, then keep expanding it into the complete game.

What I can provide:

  • My home PC: Ryzen 9 9950X3D, RTX 5070 Ti and 32GB DDR5 RAM.

  • Computing power and storage for development.

  • The complete game specification and creative direction.

  • Ongoing communication and coordination.

I need you to take responsibility for the actual development. If you need additional people for specialist roles such as 3D modelling, character art, animation, environment design, programming, sound or UI, let me know what roles you need. You’re welcome to help bring suitable people onto the team too, but please discuss any paid commitments with me first.

I’m currently looking for an unpaid volunteer collaboration, so I want to be upfront about that.

For communication: my WhatsApp number is 07575 082205. Please keep it private, don’t forward it or share it with anyone, and only use it to add me to a WhatsApp group for this project. If you need a team group, you can add the other agreed collaborators.

Please take the time to read the attached specification and let me know honestly whether you’re available, interested and capable of taking on this project.

I’d really like to get started as soon as possible. Thank you!
