passionate in acquire new skills and knowledge
Welcome to my portfolio websites! I am Hong Yu, a passionate game programmer with around 4 years of experience in game development as a programmer. I had participated many game jams such as Global Game Jam 2022, 2023, 2024, and the Redgame Game Jam 2023, 2024 for enjoyment and skill improvement.
Proficient in Unity and experienced with Unreal Engine, with notable contributions in Tools Programming, Artificial Intelligence Design, Visual Effects, and Project Management. Completed three team projects during university. Had been working full-time as a game programmer at Quurk for 2 years and now working as a Technical Support Engineer in Beyondsoft Malaysia (an outsourcing company to Tencent)
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 and in-editor visualizers 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 hookers, FSM-based UI managers, and custom build pipelines—enabling rapid iteration, automation, and flexibility. My work extends to integrating third-party 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.
The portfolio website here will show all of my projects, responsibility on the projects to show my learning curve throughout all my career of game programmer.
Pastopia is a first-of-its-kind, open-world game experience that rewards players with pure gameplay and the tangible outcome of learning to code with MiniScript and Python. Player will encounter echoes of the past as a Korii, a mysterious Memory Walker who can travel through the landscapes of forgotten memories and restore them. Pastopia was the winner of Level Up KL 2024 Best Technology Award.
In Pastopia, I worked as a generalist game programmer, handling task on tools programming, gameplay mechanics, integrate coding languages, implement in-game code editor that apply auto-completion, UI Structure. I also involved in the development for backend stack such as PlayFab and MongoDB.
