Eidolon: Fate of Fools
UX Programmer
A multiplayer arena shooter designed to emulate the chaotic camaraderie of old-school LAN parties.
We prototyped and iterated on core gameplay over a year, implementing 13 weapons and tuning combat feel through frequent playtesting. I built VFX for firing, hit markers, death effects, and environmental hazards. I also integrated Steam platform features including match invites and avatars.
After the project was complete but before shipping, I worked on it for 3 months more on my own as an independent study. I planned to collect player feedback about match quality, make changes to the matchmaking system, and compare player feedback after the changes. I wrote more about this process in Arena Shooter Player Analysis.
