First-time experience tutorial
I joined the project working on its first-time experience (FTE), which did not yet have a tutorial. I took ownership of tutorial implementation and integrated most of the core gameplay systems within the tutorials.

The project
BuildPort Xumia is a VR sandbox where players build ships and weapons and take them into combat. My primary responsibility is tutorial implementation, from the first-time experience to advanced tutorials. I also contribute to multiplayer gameplay, UI polish, and bug fixing across the project.
My focus
Implementing tutorials that connect core gameplay systems through visual scripting and guided sequences.
01 / Responsibilities
Development work
Advanced tutorials
I implemented advanced tutorials that guide players through the game’s more involved systems.
Visual scripting sequences
I took responsibility for visual scripting work, building and polishing the sequences used throughout the tutorials.
Kill-count duel scoring
I changed duel mode from a three-life format to a system based on who gets the most kills.
Two-player lobby confirmation
I implemented a lobby flow that waits for both players to confirm before proceeding to matchmaking.
Reusable popup system
I helped create a reusable popup system for dialogs, tips, and other messages.
Interface polish
I improved UI elements across the project as part of ongoing polish work.
Solo duels against AI
Alongside my tutorial work, I helped adapt duel mode for single-player matches against AI. I contributed to AI-player detection so the existing setup flow could select ships and complete acceptance logic automatically for AI participants.
Connecting core systems within the tutorials
The starting point
The project did not yet have a first-time experience tutorial, and needed someone to take responsibility for tutorial sequences and visual scripting work.
My implementation
I took on the FTE tutorial, implemented most of the core-system integrations within the tutorials, and used visual scripting to build and polish the sequences. My work later expanded to advanced tutorials.
The result
The project gained an implemented first-time experience and advanced tutorials, with ongoing ownership of the sequences and visual scripting that support them.
- 01 / First-time experienceImplement the initial tutorial
- 02 / System integrationConnect core gameplay within tutorial sequences
- 03 / Advanced tutorialsExtend and polish guided sequences
03 / Outcome
Ongoing ownership of the tutorial experience
I filled a gap in first-time experience implementation and became responsible for tutorial sequences and visual scripting work. As the project evolved, I moved between gameplay systems, interface polish, and bug fixing. My name appears in the game’s credits under Developers.
