Hi! I am Andrea Pullia, a junior gameplay programmer that is currently doing an internship at PlaySys, working on multiple not announced projects using both Unity and Unreal Engine.
I am attending a Master in Computer science following the videogame programming path at the University of Milan. Here, I completed different projects that enabled me to acquire more skills in this field.
In July 2025 I took part at the New Game Designer, developing an online tower defense game called Battle For Arcanium as a gameplay programmer, game designer and team lead.
Cutter
This is a prototype game where I use Unreal’s Procedural Meshes to slice objects at runtime. I am using object pooling to reuse despawned procedural meshes; this method can give a huge performance boost in large projects.
As a source control option I am using Perforce P4. My instance is hosted at p4.pulli.me:1666. Contact me to receive the guest credentials and see the source code.
For this project I am also developing a plugin that enables the use of Microsoft public GDK in Unreal Engine (otherwise you should be part of ID@Xbox).
Battle For Arcanium
For this online tower defense game developed for the Online Game Design class, I took the roles of gameplay programmer, game designer and team lead. As a gameplay programmer I implemented the towers in every single aspect. Also, I created the general code and project infrastructure.
Euler Angles, Gimbal Lock and Quaternions
In this educational project developed for the Computational Geometry class, there are two ways to rotate a 3D object: using Euler angles or using quaternions. In the Euler angles mode, can be shown how the gimbal lock can be achieved and why we should use a quaternion representation.
Beta Tester
In this game developed for the Videogame Design and Programming class I was the only team member with previous experience in Unity, so I helped my team mates learning the basics of the engine. During the project I mainly developed shaders and some enemy behaviours. Also, I designed and developed 2 of the 10 levels of the game.
