About me

I am Hong Yu, a game programmer with around 4 years of experience in game development.

I actively participate in game jams—including Global Game Jam (2022–2025) and Redgame Game Jam (2023–2024)—to improve my skills through rapid prototyping and teamwork. I am proficient in Unity and experienced with Unreal Engine, with hands-on contributions in tools programming, AI design, visual effects, and project coordination. During university, I completed three team-based game projects.

I previously worked full-time as a Game Programmer at Quurk for 2 years, where I contributed to multiple projects. I am currently working at Beyondsoft Malaysia (Tencent outsourcing) as an SDK Client Developer, supporting and developing the Player Network / Level Infinite SDK used by multiple games.

With extensive experience in Unity and C#, I specialize in developing powerful custom tools to streamline game production and empower design and development teams. In Tekno, I built intuitive rhythm game beat map editors to accelerate level and music sync creation, overcoming limitations of ScriptableObjects by designing interactive GUI tools using Unity’s Editor GUI and UI Toolkit. Across multiple projects, I’ve delivered a wide range of scalable tools—including block puzzle editors, cutscene event emitter, FSM-based UI managers, and custom build pipelines—enabling rapid iteration, automation, and flexibility. My work extends to integrating third-party interpreter scripting languages (MiniScript, PocketPy, BlockEngine2), implementing backend workflows with PlayFab and MongoDB, and crafting token-based code analyzers to support custom scripting environments. My tools programming expertise lies in bridging complex systems with user-friendly interfaces, significantly boosting team productivity and project scalability.

This portfolio presents my projects, responsibilities, and technical growth throughout my career as a game programmer.
