At Fun Sponge Games, I worked on their title Deathstair. For this I was to turn what was originally a local splitscreen game into a full online multiplayer experience in UE4. My main focus was making sure that the networked gameplay physics worked well, as this was one of the major selling points. Other jobs included adding twitch chat support, optimising game performance and optimising network bandwidth usage. At Fun Sponge Games, I worked on their title Deathstair.
