In April 2023, I was hired by a company named "Fabwelt Studios" due to my previous experience with C++ and Unreal Engine. I found they are a leading blockchain game studio. They had worked on projects such as "Arsenal," which is an popular blockchain FPS. They decided to make more games of different genres, A racing game was one of their main interest. They chose Unreal Engine for this project, even though they had previously used Unity for their other games. They were looking to secure reliable funding for this project, so they decided to create a Base MVP at first. Which was planned to be an AAA level racing game base.


They hired me as their first Unreal Engine developer, I worked along with two other Unity developers who left the project after just one week. For a continuous 6 months, I worked on this project solo. My primary goal was to create a racing game with advanced physics, responsive controls, realistic graphics, high-quality sound, and a polished user interface. Throughout the development process, I focused on optimizing the game to ensure it ran smoothly even on low-end PCs.


I encountered several major challenges during this journey:

1. Developing advanced AI for opponent cars.
2. Creating realistic car physics.
3. Enhancing visuals, (Such as custom motion blur post-processing material, fine-tuning anti-aliasing, etc)
4. Improving the overall realism of the cars (Such as real-time skid effects, accurate center of mass calculations, etc)
5. Implementing real-time UI elements (Such as an accurate minimap, speedometer, etc)


Without giving up I countered each of these obstacles, And on September 2023, I had successfully completed the mission. MVP of the game was finished, and the team was pleased with the progress I had made. They wanted me to continue working on the project and collaborate with new developers. However, I decided to explore more exciting opportunities like this one while working on indie games, with the hope of securing a full-time job as a game developer!
