WORK & CONTRIBUTIONS
My work on this project.
Established reporting, meetings, project approval, release and major-incident processes. Introduced project managers, standups and task/time breakdowns where production experience was limited.
Allocated an approximately RMB 1M annual pre-approval testing budget for art, gameplay and creative tests, with milestones for shorter projects and evidence to inform investment and stop decisions.
Built automated-testing capability for smoke checks across Talking Tom products and channels, then extended it. Analytics supported both in-house and localized products and fed findings back into development.
Directed Unity / Skynet choices, shared C++ football logic, physics and synchronization approaches, LayaBox loading/rendering optimization, and cache, deadlock and loading investigations.
Product/IP judgment: reassessed projects against gameplay and IP fit. The project includes replacing the Talking Tom Adventure IP presentation and launching as 弹弹奇兵; the contribution is direction-setting and organizational execution.
Managed teams and product adjustments for Hot-Blooded Street Football, Talking Tom Brawl Squad, Talking Tom Speedster, Talking Tom Adventure and 狂斩之刃.
Production troubleshooting: repeatedly handled incidents as Technical Director, combining engine, rendering, synchronization and server experience to diagnose and resolve issues.
