Stream Raiders

Stream Raiders turns a livestream into a strategy game. A streamer leads the battle as captain, and their viewers join in by placing their own units on the battle map, sometimes more than a hundred of them at once. Wins pay out loyalty chests and event tokens, and the store sells skins. More than 40,000 streamers have played it with their communities.

My part

I joined Captain.tv as a Software Engineer and grew into a Senior Game Developer over three years, working full-stack across the studio’s live games. On Stream Raiders I owned the storefront, built core gameplay and UI systems in Unity, and took features from the first prototype all the way to live operations.

The storefront and promotions

The store is where a free-to-play live game earns its keep. I owned Stream Raiders’ storefront, including its promotions feature, which is a big part of the company’s revenue.

Built for a game that never stops

A live game keeps shipping while people play it, so the systems I built had to scale. Alongside feature work I mentored teammates, reviewed code, and worked with the team to track down performance bottlenecks and bugs, which made the game more stable for everyone playing.
