Squad Arcade

Unreal Engine 5 / C++

Squad Arcade is a roguelike deckbuilder built in Unreal Engine 5, blending strategic card combat with retro-futuristic arcade aesthetics. Players form squads of mythological and historical heroes to face legendary monsters, earning rewards and upgrades with each procedurally unique run.

In this project I worked as a UI and Gameplay programmer, some of my tasks included:

  • Implemented the game’s HUD, Menus, and Overlays, handling the full UI pipeline from Photoshop asset export to layout creation and custom material development in Unreal Engine.

  • Developed interactive UI behavior and state systems (Hovered, Unhovered, Selected, etc.) using C++ and Blueprints, and integrated Sequencer-based animations to enhance user feedback and polish.

  • Engineered a card combat animation system and developed multiple card abilities to deliver smooth and engaging gameplay
