Game Summary

Immortals of Aveum is a 2023 first-person shooter game developed by Ascendant Studios and published by Electronic Arts. The game was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on August 22, 2023. The game was the first non-Epic published Unreal Engine 5 game to use all its new features including Nanite micro-geometry, ray-traced Lumen lighting, and virtual shadowmaps.

Role: Game Performance Engineer

• Utilized tools such as Unreal Insights, PIX, and RenderDoc to identify where frame budget was spent.
• Integrated ACL compression prior to Unreal Engine mainline integration. This significantly reduced the animation memory footprint across the game and boosted performance in animation heavy areas across the game.
• Multithreaded the save game system and made all systems tied to save game thread-safe.
