Overview

Live-ops development and maintenance for a released hybrid-casual RPG on smartphones.

Responsibilities

During the live-ops phase, I handled:

• Client-side feature updates and new implementations
• Anti-cheat measures for task-kill abuse
• Investigation and response to customer support reports
• Bottleneck analysis and performance fixes using profiling tools

Challenges

The project suffered from extremely long scene-transition times because required resources were fetched over the network every time a scene changed.

Solutions

Using Unity Profiler and System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch, I visualized load spikes and traced the root cause to repeated runtime fetching of the same assets. I then redesigned the flow to move toward a staged caching strategy.

Results

The result was a maximum 70 percent reduction in load time, which helped reduce startup abandonment and improved overall performance indicators across the app.
