Work Placement - Sumo Digital Sheffield

Written By Finlay Laidlaw

In August 2024 I embarked on a one year work placement at Sumo Digital Sheffield.

I had the opportunity to learn how to work in a large team (~50 to 100 people) and further develop my Unreal and C++ programming skills.

Tools Used:

  • Unreal Engine 5

  • Jira

  • Perforce

Programming Areas (all in the context of Unreal Engine):

  • Networking

  • Game-modes/rules implementation (scores, assigning teams, etc.)

  • Player Movement/Abilities

  • Debugging Tools (using ImGUI)

  • Gameplay Systems

  • Lots of bug fixing
