Write Warz

Overview

Write Warz is a story-building party game where friends gather across themes and worlds to create hilarious stories and captivating adventures. During my internship at Boltz Entertainment I worked across engineering and design: new modes, multiplayer systems, UI, optimization, and cross-department collaboration with art, VFX, audio, and the studio director.

Duties

• Built and shipped a custom emote system using Unity Netcode RPCs and DOTween selector animations to improve player-to-player expression
• Optimized asset usage and build configuration, reducing total game size by over 60%
• Redesigned character abilities to add clearer strategic tradeoffs during multiplayer rounds
• Implemented and refined UI behaviors across gameplay flows, including writing-pass interactions and navigation
• Built a Font Debug build so the studio director could tune font settings and character coverage quickly
• Adapted existing PlayFab-backed systems to support a new writing pass screen with updated art direction
• Found and resolved gameplay and UI bugs through repeated cross-system playtesting

Process

I integrated quickly into an existing codebase by reading through systems and pairing with full-time developers when needed. Work spanned limited-time modes (see Bumbly’s Rockin’ Adventure trailer), UI flows, font tooling, and netcode-backed emotes—always aligned with art, VFX, sound, and director feedback for ship-ready player experience.
