アイ☆スタ ぽっぷんピース！

Overview

A puzzle game linked to a livestream platform. I joined during the new-development phase as a client-side engineer and also supported parts of the design work when resources were limited. Later, I continued through live operation as the main engineer.

Responsibilities

During the new-development phase, I worked on:

• Out-game UI implementation for screens such as home, missions, and settings
• Integration with network APIs and the WebSocket communication layer
• Screen and scene transition behavior
• Implementations mindful of WebGL-specific constraints
• Partial design work for puzzle pieces and UI assets

During live operation, the team was reduced and I ultimately led the following work as the sole client engineer:

• Development and maintenance of new features and event features
• Support for planners and QA, including requirement coordination and data design

Challenges

The title had to ship within three months from planning, so one major challenge was keeping real-time platform interaction responsive under a very tight schedule. Later in live operation, another challenge was maintaining a clean architecture that one engineer could safely own end to end.

Solutions

I used UniRx to organize data binding and asynchronous flows, separating View and Model responsibilities so that the out-game layer stayed manageable as complexity increased. I also revisited interface design so the client could absorb ongoing feature additions and fixes without becoming rigid.

Results

I completed both feature development and maintenance through the live-ops phase as the only client engineer. That helped keep the title stable while limiting critical bugs after release.
