- Implement gameplay systems from designer briefs: combat, abilities, movement, AI behaviours, progression, inventory, interaction, camera — scope varies by engagement - Build reusable, maintainable, testable gameplay code in C++ (and Blueprint where appropriate) within Unreal Engine 5 - Own Gameplay Ability System (GAS) implementation — AttributeSets, Abilities, GameplayEffects, GameplayCues — on engagements where GAS is in use - Implement animation-gameplay integration: Anim Notifies, state-driven Anim BPs, root motion handling, blendspaces - Implement multiplayer-safe gameplay code on engagements with networking requirements — replication, client-server authority, lag compensation - Profile and optimise gameplay code to target platform budgets — CPU frame time, tick overhead, replication cost - Write code that is reviewable: clean, commented where logic is non-obvious, consistent with project standards - Catch and fix gameplay bugs — including edge cases, exploit patterns, and regression from live updates - Participate actively in code review: review peers' PRs with specificity, receive and act on feedback without defensiveness - Work directly with gameplay designers to translate design intent into engine behaviour — close the gap between what is specced and what ships - Identify implementation risks in design briefs early — before they become rework — and propose alternatives when the spec is not buildable as written - Expose gameplay parameters to designers in a way that is tunable without engineering involvement (Blueprint exposed properties, Datatable-driven tuning, etc.) - Document systems clearly — architecture decisions, integration points, known limitations - Support technical handoffs between phases or teams: leave the codebase in a state that the next engineer can understand without a phone cal
