Veilcrest2024, PC / Steam / iOS / Androidwhat I did
I planned the puzzles as one connected system, built a number of them myself, and worked with our story writer so each one fits the story instead of interrupting it. I also built the quest system and owned the UI. We started Veilcrest straight after Ruby Dreams and finished it in October 2024. Built in Unreal Engine 5, in a mix of C++ and Blueprints.
the hard part
The deadline. A full visual novel in under four months, right after shipping Ruby Dreams, left no room for guesswork. A big part of my job was planning: breaking the game into pieces and splitting them across the team so everyone had a clear share and it all landed on time. It did.
the highlights
- A full visual novel shipped in under 4 months
- Planned the puzzles and fit them into the story with our writer
- Built the quest system and owned the UI
