The Sandbox | Senior Gameplay Programmer

The Sandbox is a decentralized, community-driven virtual world and play-to-earn game built on the Ethereum blockchain. It functions as a metaverse where players can create, own, and monetize their gaming experiences and digital assets using non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and the platform's utility token, $SAND. Players use tools like VoxEdit to create voxel assets and the Game Maker to build unique 3D games and experiences on virtual land plots called LAND, which they can then share and trade with others.

When I joined The Sandbox, I was responsible for prototyping four new abilities for the main character. After completing the prototyping phase, I’ve joined the 3Cs Squad of the development team, where our focus was on improving the main character’s abilities and implementing new ones utilizing Unity DOTS technology (ECS, Job Systems, and Burst Compiler) to maximize performance. Our goal was to create smooth character controls to enhance player enjoyment during the game.
