Performance Optimization and Engaging Gameplay Enhancement for Mobile RPG - Core Mechanics Rewrite

We are seeking an experienced game developer to overhaul and optimize the core mechanics of our mobile RPG. The initial implementation is functional but suffers from performance bottlenecks, particularly on lower-end devices, and lacks the engaging player feedback loop we desire. This project requires a deep understanding of game mechanics design, profiling tools (Unity Profiler), and optimization techniques. The core task is to rewrite key gameplay systems – including combat, resource management, and character progression – focusing on responsiveness, scalability, and a compelling player experience. We’ll provide detailed design documents outlining desired gameplay flow. You will be responsible for identifying and addressing performance bottlenecks, implementing intuitive UI/UX improvements to enhance player engagement, and ensuring the game runs smoothly across a range of mobile devices (iOS & Android). Experience with Finite State Machines, Behaviour Trees and pathfinding algorithms is highly desired. We're looking for someone who can not only fix existing issues but also proactively suggest and implement improvements to elevate the overall gameplay quality. Strong communication skills are essential for regular updates and feedback integration.
