Hello, I am a dedicated Unreal Engine developer. I bring proven expertise in Blueprint-based gameplay, complex gameplay systems, NPC behavior, character animation with lip-sync, MetaHuman integration, and real-time rendering optimization. I will architect a robust blueprint-driven framework for core gameplay and NPCs, implement responsive intelligent NPC behavior, ensure high-fidelity lip-sync and animation pipelines, integrate MetaHumans, and optimize rendering for production-quality performance across target hardware. I will deliver a clear roadmap with milestones, risk assessment, and a production-ready prototype. I can start immediately and propose a plan with a 2-week discovery and a 4-week implementation, with weekly check-ins to adjust scope based on feedback. Please share more details on scope, platforms, and milestone expectations. What is the target platform and hardware spec for the project? What is the exact scope of NPC behavior and how many characters will need dynamic systems? Do you have existing MetaHuman assets or do we need to create and customize from scratch? What are the lip-sync requirements (languages, phoneme accuracy, and performance constraints)? What frame rate and render target are you aiming for across platforms? Is there any backend/API integration needed for gameplay data, matchmaking, or analytics? What is your preferred art/asset pipeline and asset formats? Do you require cross-platform packaging, streaming, or performance profi

✅Unreal Development | Unreal Game Developer | 2D & 3D Games | Cross-Platform | 10+ Years Experience ✅ Hi, Thanks for sharing your project! I’m a dedicated Unreal game developer bringing lots of experience in designing, developing, and launching both 2D and 3D games across mobile, desktop, and web platforms. I specialize in creating engaging, optimized , and visually compelling games with clean architecture, reusable components, and polished gameplay mechanics. Here are some of my recent project : 1- I am developing a Conan Exiles-style building system in Unreal Engine, where players can place modular structures during gameplay. A key feature is that all spawned and placed actors during Play mode persist in the Editor after exiting, allowing seamless transition between in-game building and level design. 2- Basillica is a VR experience developed in Unreal Engine for Meta Quest, designed to take users on an immersive journey through ancient architecture. Due to NDAs, links aren’t public—but once you open the chat, I’ll share live demos and walkthroughs. Why should you choose me : 6+ years of experience in Unreal game development & long term engagements. PS - Please pan the budget for game. Thanks, Kajal

Hello, my name is Muhammad Asad Ali and I am a senior game and real-time application developer with more than 8 years of professional experience, including production work with Unreal Engine using Blueprints for gameplay systems, AI behaviour and real-time interactive features. Relevant projects / portfolio I will share direct, publicly verifiable project links in the chat (no NDA projects and no private demos). My contributions in similar projects In my recent Unreal projects I was responsible for designing core gameplay systems using Blueprints, implementing NPC behaviour with Behaviour Trees and EQS, integrating character animation pipelines including facial animation and basic lip-sync, and setting up MetaHuman characters with custom materials, meshes and animation retargeting. I have also worked on real-time rendering optimisation for mid-range hardware by profiling GPU/CPU, adjusting LODs, materials and lighting setups, and maintaining stable real-time performance. I am comfortable building algorithm-driven gameplay logic, state-based AI, interaction systems and camera/character controllers fully in Blueprints, while keeping projects structured and production-ready. I am reliable, detail-oriented and used to working in early-stage teams where clean implementation and ownership of features are critical. I would be happy to discuss your project scope and share my verified Unreal work immediately. Kind regards, Muhammad Asad Ali
