Player decisions
Mechanics, resource choices and environmental progression.
My practice
A mechanic on paper.
A system you can play.
I work across design and implementation, using playtesting to connect the two.
Working systems
UE5 Blueprints, interactions, inventory and persistent world state.
Test the details
Playtesting, gameplay debugging and feature integration.

Game design / UE5 development / Project lead
My work on a
survival adventure.
A three-person graduation project set in extreme cold. I designed and built the fire, inventory, persistence and progression systems that support the journey.

Implementation & debugging
Inside the project
WHAT
I BUILT.
I worked on the systems players interact with, and the state behind them.
Alongside implementation, I coordinated priorities and feature integration with the team.
Design → Blueprint → Playtest01Fire & survival
Fire placement, ignition minigames, fuel checks, heat areas and burn-out states — connected into the survival loop.
Gather→Ignite→Keep warm
02Inventory & items
Grid inventory, pickup, use and drop actions. I connected item handling to resource checks and gameplay interactions.
Inventory state / Item flow / Interaction checks
03Save / load
Unique IDs for placed objects, fire-state restoration, autosaves and checkpoint loading. The focus was keeping world state consistent when the player returned.
Persistence / Actor restoration / Checkpoints
04Progression logic
Valve interactions, switch panels, socket-light states and gate/key logic. I implemented the checks and state changes that let players move forward.
Environmental interactions / Gating / Feedback
05Debugging & polish
Loading-screen flow, VFX preloading, and fixes for gameplay and progression bugs. I tested the connections between systems as well as the individual mechanics.
Loading / Integration / Gameplay fixes

A DESIGNER
WHO GETS
HANDS-ON.
The part I enjoy most is making an idea work in someone's hands.
I'm Emre Adis, a Digital Game Design graduate. I design gameplay, build it in Blueprints, and test the details that are easy to miss on paper.
My work spans survival mechanics, inventory, progression, movement prototypes and level flow. I enjoy working closely with a small team and following a feature through implementation and testing.
