I participated in the development of the Visions of Mana and two unannounced projects, all of which are console AAA games. The projects were developed using the Unreal Engine and included action fighting games and action role-playing games.

Responsibilities
Weapon/Skill Design and Implementation: Based on the Lead Combat Designer's design proposal, I led and drove the design and implementation of a weapon's entire set of skills. I collaborated with animators, visual effects artists, and engineers to complete the related functions. I wrote detailed design documents, maintained related parameters, and wrote some UE blueprints for this.
3C/Character Feature Design: I designed some 3C-related character features, wrote related documents, collaborated intensely with engineers to promote the development of features, and maintained the documents and parameter configuration in the engine.
Combat Feature Design and Implementation: I designed some combat features that improved the combat experience of players unfamiliar with action games so they can also enjoy the game.
Combat System Framework Design: I participated in the design of some early-stage combat system frameworks and wrote related documents.
Character/Skill Design: Based on the design proposal, I participated in the design and implementation of a character's skill set and collaborated with animators, technical artists, and engineers to promote the development of related functions.
UE Workflow Improvement: I proposed and implemented some measures to improve the team's work efficiency in the Unreal Engine based on the cooperation between engineers and designers in the team.
Motion Capture Directing: Based on the design proposal, I participated in directing the performance of combat actions for motion capture actors.
