Wild Castle is a live mobile strategy game on iOS and Android, with over 5 million downloads and a 4.8★ rating across 500,000+ player reviews. I joined Funovus as the Lead Developer on Wild Castle in 2022, responsible for building and maintaining major systems while supporting ongoing live updates.
My work included bimonthly content updates, a full UI overhaul, game balance improvements, a seasonal game mode, Quality Assurance, and player-facing support. I worked using an in-house engine and used Lua scripting to implement features, content, and gameplay adjustments.
This role gave me hands-on experience shipping content on a live product, improving existing systems, and balancing player-facing design with technical constraints. I regularly worked with metrics such as player retention and session length to inform design and balance decisions.
