STRONG EXAMPLE PROJECT QUESTION
“During a 3-month indie project with 4 friends, I created the player combat system in Godot. Early playtests showed combat felt slow and unclear, so I redesigned the input buffering and animation timing. I also worked with the designer to improve enemy feedback and balancing. After several iterations, player engagement and combat scores during testing improved significantly.

The project strengthened my debugging and communication.
Since then, I’ve started prototyping combat feel earlier and using regular playtests to catch responsiveness issues sooner.”

STRONG EXAMPLE SKILLS QUESTION
“I am a gameplay programmer with 5 years of experience in Unity and 2 years in Godot, focused on player movement, combat systems, and gameplay tools. I recently developed a modular enemy AI and optimisation systems for a multiplayer prototype that reduced CPU usage by 30%.

I enjoy collaborating with designers and artists in agile teams, taking feedback, and iterating on features. I’ve got experience with C#, Git, debugging workflows, profiling tools, and mentoring junior teammates through code reviews and documentation.”
