Area Loading

Two sentences. What it is, and the one thing about it that is actually interesting.

Engine: Unreal Engine 5
Role: Design & implementation
Language: C++ / Blueprint
Users: Who this was built for

The problem

What was breaking, who it hurt, and why the obvious fix did not work. The constraint is the interesting part — lead with it.

The single best clip, placed before any wall of text.

What I built

Summary from the user's side, not the code's side.

The designer workflow

Step.
Step.
Step.

How it works

Sub-heading per major mechanism

Name the actual technique. Do not hand-wave.

The constraint that shaped the design. One real technical limitation and how the architecture answers it. This is the paragraph a lead reads closely.

Supporting still — a tool panel, a debug overlay, a graph.

What it changed

Before and after, ideally with a number.
What a designer can now do without an engineer.

What I would do differently

The limitation a lead would ask about anyway, answered before they ask.
