MECHA vs MAGICA

Project Breakdown


Project Overview

Mecha vs Magika is a PvPvE multiplayer experience built in just 7 days as part of a Fortnite Creative game jam. I acted as Technical Director and lead gameplay engineer for our 10+ person team, handling system architecture, AI behavior, damage and combat interactions, and final game integration. The game features monster wave defense, team-based objectives, voting, collectibles, and scalable AI combat systems.


Gameplay / Systems Highlights

  • PvPvE team-based combat against enemy AI creatures

  • Three enemy classes: small, medium, and large monsters

  • AI behavior scales by distance and proximity

  • Radial damage and direct hit feedback

  • Voting and scoring systems per round


Technical Breakdown

  • AI Pathfinding: Custom radius-checker system for small/medium monsters, and a simple waypoint-following system for the boss-class monster

  • Combat Logic: Implemented radial damage effects, hit VFX/SFX for all monster types and player avatars

  • Spawn System: Built team-based spawning logic and wave triggers with scaling difficulty

  • Event Bus: Created a modular event dispatch system to allow rapid integration of gameplay logic by other developers

  • Voting: Created team-based voting UI for easy lobby team selection
