Storybook Brawl

PVP Autobattler Card Game

This was the first job I got after graduating, working as a freelance programmer. An opportunity I'm really grateful for.

Storybook Brawl was an strategic autobattler conceived by a team of professional Magic players and developers from games like Hearthstone.

The game was a lot of fun, and really competitive and complex. Even though you can't play it anymore, I encourage you to go on youtube and search for gameplays to check it out!

Role

Programmer

I was hired to help develop some features in time for the early access release of the game on Steam and help with development after. Some of my responsabilities were:

Add a gallery to the game to see cards, heroes, etc.
Make a new shop for the game to buy currency and skins.
Implement UI for the main menu.
Add azure playfab features to the game, like ranking information and the ability to make hotfixes to cards, banning them in emergencies.
Create tools to help the team and the community. Including an in engine gallery to test cards and a tool to generate and export all cards as pngs, among many others.

Working on this game was a great experience, I learned a lot and worked with amazing people with experience. The game was amazing but as you can see, it doesn't exists anymore due to the company being acquired by FTX and said company going suddenly bankrupt due to bad management. That said, don't let that reflect on the game or its creators. Each was passionate about the project and wanted the best for it.
