UI delivery and client/server integration for a shipped tennis title, maintaining a legacy widget framework during a UI transition.

My role

Owned most of the UI implementation, built complete game modes, and bridged the in-house widget system and NoesisGUI.

What it solves

TIEBREAK relied on a legacy widget system while the studio moved to NoesisGUI, leaving substantial UI and game-mode work to deliver.

What it delivers

  • Delivered UI and complete game modes for release and later platform work.
  • Kept the legacy UI working during the move to NoesisGUI.
  • Became the main programmer responsible for the legacy widget system.

Key decisions

  • Reproduced useful NoesisGUI behavior in the existing widget system.
  • Maintained the legacy UI so delivery could continue during the transition.
  • Coordinated with server developers on complete game-mode flows.
