Technical Designer / Multimedia Specialist · Remanom Games


Unhappening is a narrative post-apocalyptic psychological horror game developed by Remanom Games. Built in Unreal Engine 5, it combines 2.5D side-scrolling exploration with environmental storytelling, atmospheric presentation, and light-driven gameplay.


I worked as a Technical Designer & Multimedia Specialist, contributing to gameplay presentation, accessibility, visual and audio implementation, playtesting, and Chinese localization.




PROJECT INFORMATION


Role: Technical Designer & Multimedia Specialist

Studio: Remanom Games

Engine: Unreal Engine 5

Project Type: Commercial Game

Genre: Narrative Post-Apocalyptic Psychological Horror · 2.5D Side-Scrolling Adventure

TECHNICAL DESIGN & ACCESSIBILITY


I implemented on-screen iris animations for game start and player respawn, connecting visual transitions with gameplay state changes in Unreal Engine 5.


I also designed a colorblindness-friendly solution for color usage throughout the game, exploring how important visual information could remain readable without relying solely on color distinction.



VISUAL & AUDIO PROTOTYPING


I prototyped an oil painting post-process effect to explore an alternative visual treatment for the game's atmospheric presentation.


I also assisted with audio implementation in Unreal Engine 5, integrating audio content into playable builds.



PLAYTESTING & COLLABORATION


I regularly playtested demos and development builds to identify quality issues and provide gameplay feedback. I participated in weekly and additional team meetings, contributing creative ideas and feedback throughout development.



CHINESE LOCALIZATION & PROMOTION


I helped establish the game's Chinese social media presence and adapted promotional content for Mandarin-speaking audiences. This included translating descriptions, images, and videos; editing promotional media; and collaborating with artists to create materials appropriate for Chinese audiences.
