Nicolas Emanuel Susterman

I’m a gameplay-focused Unity developer and generalist game developer with 3+ years of professional experience shipping titles to PC and five console platforms (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch). I’ve built a strong foundation across gameplay systems, UI, editor tooling, shaders, audio integration, and performance optimization.

I’ve owned features end-to-end—architecture, implementation, iteration, polish, and bug fixing—while delivering combat systems and player controllers in Unity C# for PC and console. I also design and maintain UI systems using Unity UI / UI Toolkit, including menus, HUDs, and in-game flows.

At Purple Tree Studio, I develop internal editor tools to eliminate manual tasks and speed up iteration, and I integrate audio, shaders, and VFX in collaboration with art and design. Under production deadlines, I debug and resolve complex cross-platform technical issues so gameplay stays stable and shippable.

Before moving fully into development, I worked as an LQA Tester at Keywords Studios in Tokyo, doing linguistic QA on major AAA productions. That background sharpened my attention to detail and helped me track and verify hundreds of issues using JIRA inside large-scale production pipelines, which I now bring to every gameplay feature I support.
