Hey everyone 👋
I’ve spent the last 10+ years in game development, primarily working with **Unity** and **Unreal Engine**, taking projects from **concept → production → launch **across PC, mobile, console, and web.
My core expertise is** C# and C++**, but I also have strong experience on the web and infrastructure side of game development.
I’ve shipped and prototyped games using **Pixi.js** (high-performance 2D rendering), **Phaser 3** (rapid 2D development), and **Cocos Creator** (2D/3D with a TypeScript-first workflow).
Over the years, I’ve worked on:
- **End-to-end** game development & rapid prototyping (FPS, RPG, strategy, casual, casino, etc.)
- **Backend & multiplayer systems** at scale (Node.js, MongoDB, Photon, Colyseus)
- **Cross-platform optimization **(PC, mobile, console, web)
- **Runtime rendering systems**, performance profiling, and engine/editor tooling
**- Build & release automation (CI/CD)** with Jenkins + Perforce/Git for Unreal & Unity
I’m here to connect around rendering techniques, performance optimization, engine/framework integration, and production-ready workflows.
**Availability: **20–40 hrs/week

Hi Santina,
I understand this is a disciplined, minimal build where precision and restraint are essential.
I've been working in gaming and mobile app development industry and have strong experience in Flutter/React Native and backend architecture. I do build clean, stable mobile applications with predictable state management and without unnecessary abstraction or third-party dependencies.
For this MVP, I can deliver:
-
A minimal Flutter implementation for iOS and Android
-
Supabase integration with email-only authentication and strict RLS policies
-
Secure storage bucket configuration for controlled, private uploads
-
In-app audio recording, compression, and structured upload flow
-
Carefully restricted playback logic aligned exactly with your specification
I maintain disciplined GitHub practices — clean commit history, minimal branching, and structured repository organization.
I respect founder-led builds and follow specifications precisely. I do not add features, reinterpret scope, or introduce unnecessary design changes. My approach is controlled, focused, and execution-driven.
If aligned, I would be glad to discuss milestones and timeline.
Best regards,
Saika Kisami

At the moment, I've set up and validate CIpipeline on linus like repo access for perforce, pipeline flow, artifact stages, basic validation.
but I heard win64 build from linux doesn't support now, right?
So I am gonna keep Jenkins cicd on linux and trying to build win 64 and packaging on window vm.
Is it good option?
Hey, thanks for your kind response.
I tried to build the linux client of project on linux manually before go to auto-build using jenkins.
But it was tricky and stressful, and finally failed. and no idea with that.
Is there any way to build manually on linux?
And I think win64 build is possible using jenkins, right? what do you think about that?
Hey folks 👋
For the last 10 years, I’ve been deep in game development — mobile, web, PC, console, plus web apps and backends.
I’ve worked with engines like Unity, Unreal, Godot, Cocos, and web frameworks like Phaser / Construct, along with multiplayer and backend stacks such as Photon, Colyseus, Socket.io, PlayFab, etc.
On the web side, I’ve spent years with JS/TS ecosystems: React / Next.js, Angular, Vue, Svelte, Node/Nest, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Tailwind, shadcn, MUI — the whole ride.
Lately though, I’ve been stepping into a new (but oddly familiar) space:
DevOps for games.
What I’m Building Right Now
I’m currently setting up a CI pipeline for an Unreal Engine project, with the final goal being:
👉 Automatically building a Win64 client and publishing it to Steam
The setup looks like this:
-
Azure VM (Ubuntu 24.04)
-
Jenkins for CI
-
Perforce as source control
-
Unreal Engine (source build)
-
Steam publishing later (once builds are stable)
Right now, I’m intentionally keeping things simple:
-
Only automating main → Steam
-
No dev/release branch split yet
-
Focus is on getting reliable builds first
My Current Dilemma
Since my CI server is Linux, I started by building a Linux client/editor first — not because I need Linux builds, but to stabilize the pipeline and catch issues early.
This is where things get interesting (and painful 😅):
-
Platform-specific C++ issues
(Windows-only includes, missing headers on Linux) -
Unreal AutomationTool / UBT failures after 1+ hour builds
-
Code that works perfectly on local Windows machines but breaks in Linux CI
-
Long feedback loops when something fails late in the build
So now I’m questioning direction:
-
Is building a Linux client first on a Linux CI server a good stepping stone, even if the real target is Win64 + Steam?
-
Or is it better to move to a Windows runner / VM earlier and focus directly on the final target?
-
How did others decide when their pipeline was “stable enough” to trust?
Why I’m Posting This
This is actually my second time setting up a CI pipeline, and while I’m nowhere near as experienced in DevOps as I am in game or web development, I genuinely love this work.
Optimizing builds
Reducing friction
Automating boring-but-critical steps
Turning chaos into repeatable systems
It scratches the same itch as game systems design — just at a different layer.
I’d Love to Hear From You
If you’ve done anything similar — especially:
-
Unreal Engine CI/CD
-
Cross-platform builds
-
Linux CI → Windows/Steam output
-
Long build times and late failures
-
Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or other CI tools for games
I’d love to hear:
-
What worked
-
What didn’t
-
What you’d do differently if starting today
Feel free to reply here, or reach out directly — I’m always happy to chat and learn from real-world experience.
Thanks for reading, and looking forward to swapping stories 🚀
Cheers!
Hey, thanks a lot for sharing this — that workflow sounds really clean, and I appreciate you taking the time to explain it.
Your develop → test builds and main → release builds setup really resonates with what I’m aiming for long-term. Right now though, I’m still fighting through the foundations 😅
I’m currently setting up a CI pipeline on an Azure VM (Ubuntu 24.04) using Jenkins + Perforce to automate builds for an Unreal Engine project, with the final goal being Win64 builds published to Steam.
Here’s where I’m stuck and would really love your perspective:
-
I’m building on Linux, but targeting Win64 eventually.
Right now I’m compiling a Linux client/editor first just to stabilize the pipeline — but I’m running into a mix of:-
platform-specific C++ issues (Windows-only includes, missing headers on Linux)
-
Unreal AutomationTool / UBT failures after long build times
-
cases where things work fine on Windows locally, but break in Linux CI
-
So I’m trying to figure out:
-
Is building a Linux client first on a Linux CI server the right stepping stone, even if the real target is Win64 + Steam?
-
Or did you find it better to jump straight into Windows builds (Windows runner / VM) once CI basics were in place?
I’m also curious about your experience with:
-
How you decided when a pipeline was “stable enough” to trust
-
Whether you had long compile times + late failures, and how you reduced iteration pain
-
Any early mistakes or architectural decisions you’d redo if starting again
At the moment, I’m intentionally keeping things simple:
-
Only automating main → Steam
-
No dev/release branch split yet, until the pipeline itself is reliable
If you’re open to it, I’d love to keep discussing this here — or even chat in real time (Discord works great for me). I’m still early on the DevOps side, but genuinely enjoying the challenge and trying to learn from people who’ve already walked this path.
Really appreciate you sharing your experience — this is exactly the kind of insight I was hoping for 🙏
Cheers!
Hi, I’m Saika — a solo Unity/Godot developer with over 10 years of professional experience. I’m interested in submitting a focused and finishable concept for your publishing opportunity.
Game Pitch: “Hollow Signal” (Working Title)
Genre: PSX-inspired atmospheric exploration horror
Perspective: First-person
Engine: Unity
Core Concept:
The game takes place inside an abandoned research satellite still broadcasting a faint distress signal. When the player arrives, they discover that the station loops and shifts subtly — doors redirect, machinery repeats actions, and audio logs degrade each time they’re replayed. The environment becomes the core mystery, and the station itself feels like a living system.
The focus is on tension, unease, and environmental storytelling rather than jump scares or monster-chase gameplay. The retro PSX aesthetic supports the atmosphere while keeping scope realistic and technically achievable.
Core Gameplay Loop:
-
Explore modular sections of the satellite
-
Solve environmental interactions and logic-based puzzles
-
Trigger distortion events that reshape existing rooms
-
Piece together fragmented audio logs
-
Reach the central core and restore the station
The game is designed to deliver a 4–6 hour experience without overextending scope — a contained environment with strong visual identity and a clear, finishable structure.
Why This Fits Your Publishing Goals
-
Strong late-90s/early-2000s identity
-
Focused, intentional design
-
Not dependent on large content quantity
-
Polished atmosphere over complexity
-
Fully achievable by a solo developer with consistent direction
My Background
I’ve shipped multiple games in Unity and Godot and have experience creating complete, atmospheric gameplay systems, puzzle mechanics, and environmental scripting. I’ll attach my portfolio and itch.io links for reference.
If the concept aligns with what you’re looking for, I’d be happy to move forward with a more detailed pitch or a small prototype scene.
Thanks for considering the submission.
— Saika Kisami
