WarCast (Professional)

WarCast is an online massively multiplayer strategic simulation game (SLG) developed by Ambrus Studio and published by Open Loot.

I was hired as a Junior Game Designer onto Ambrus in September 2025 and have been given charge of several parts of the game's systems and surrounding promotions.

I designed the game's equipment system as well as the leaderboard ranking system, using team bandwidth as a guide for designing the scope of implementation. I provided several design documents as well as visual and numerical prototypes, as well as being tasked with overseeing balance changes made to progression and combat systems. I also acted as the Producer for the game's pre-release event called Lucky Cat. I designed and iterated using not only feedback from other designers and engineers, but also player metrics such as retention and quantified engagement and interaction.

I was able to flex my skillset as a systems designer as well as learn new project management skills over the course of this game's development, and help guide the direction of its live service support.

Warcast has begun closed invite playtests, with plans for an open playtest and eventual release Q2 2026.
