A Fortnite-inspired demo game built in Unreal Engine 4 for the reveal of the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 at E3 2019. Xbox used it on the show floor to let players get hands-on with the controller’s features.
Contract work for Xbox, delivered through Bolder Games, built by a small team on a tight schedule for the controller’s reveal.
What I worked on
- Built the phased structure that introduced the controller’s features one at a time, each phase guiding the player through a feature and then putting it to use
- Did all of the input handling, working against a prototype of the controller before it shipped
- Built the booth reset flow, clearing the station when a run finished or timed out with no input, plus a manual reset for the staff running the booth
- Did general gameplay and UI programming across the demo
