Luca Barilla

I help studios and teams turn game ideas into polished, shippable products using Unity and Unreal Engine. With over 10 years of hands-on experience and multiple published titles on Steam and Google Play, I bring both technical depth and production-level reliability to every project.

I specialize in building robust gameplay systems, clean architecture, and performant code that scale from prototypes to full releases. Whether you’re refining core mechanics, optimizing performance, or preparing a game for launch, I focus on solutions that save time, reduce risk, and improve player experience.

What sets me apart is my ability to bridge design and engineering. I don’t just write code—I understand gameplay feel, iteration speed, and real-world constraints of production. I’m comfortable working independently or integrating seamlessly into existing teams and pipelines.

What I typically work on:

Gameplay systems and mechanics (FPS, action, roguelike, card-based systems)

Unity (C#) and Unreal Engine (Blueprints & C++)

Performance optimization and platform-specific tuning (PC & Mobile)

Tooling, editor extensions, and reusable systems

Prototyping, vertical slices, and full game production

Steam and Google Play release preparation (builds, QA, optimization)

If you’re looking for a senior developer who can take ownership, deliver reliably, and think beyond just code, I can help bring your game to release quality.
