Orcs Must Die! Unchained (OMDU) is an online multiplayer action/tower defense game. It is available on PC through Steam and as a standalone from Robot (here) in the U.S. and Europe. It is also available in both of those regions on the PS4. Tencent also publishes OMDU in China. It is a free-to-play game that allows parties of 1 to 3 people to enjoy multiple game modes, all centered around a fun, tower defense core.

I was on this project for just over two years. During that time, I worked closely with a couple of designers on mercenary AI behavior and pathing. I also worked closely with them on heroes, designing and implementing supporting gameplay systems for the design team to utilize. Another section of the code base I worked in heavily was the Trap System (a large component of the tower defense game aspect), revising and reorganizing it throughout my time on the project. I also gained some experience working on collision and volume systems.

This game was developed with two separate game engines, Unreal 3 and Unity. I was on the team that worked solely in Unreal 3.
