My Tamagotchi Forever

The beloved Tamagotchi, reborn on mobile — 10M+ downloads on Google Play. I kept the live game healthy: seasonal content, the full free-to-play toolkit, and the automation that ran it all.

What I built
  • Shipped ongoing content & seasonal updates for the live game.
  • Worked across the F2P toolkit — In-App Purchases, mobile ads, and SDKs including AR.
  • Implemented the Collection feature that tracks player stats and game completion.
The story

As the game moved toward its sunset, its seasonal events needed to keep running without a constant stream of app updates. I built an event-automation system that scheduled events to start and end on their own — which meant every event's assets now had to ship inside the app. To keep that from bloating memory, I profiled hard and restructured the asset bundles to load and unload each event exactly when needed. The result: the game used less memory than before, even while carrying far more content than it ever had.
