    Language learning games for a Rutgers University research project

    A series of Unity WebGL games for language and education research at Rutgers University in New Jersey, USA. I built the games, integrated PlayFab for accounts, saved data and analytics, and deployed them with Firebase Hosting. The client has come back for repeat projects.

    The challenge

    Research games have two audiences. Players need something fun that runs in a browser without friction, and researchers need reliable accounts and data they can analyse. Each game also had to go live smoothly so the research could run on time.

    What I built

    • A Unity WebGL platformer built from scratch for a language research project
    • PlayFab email authentication with verification and password reset
    • Secure cloud storage and retrieval of player data
    • PlayFab Analytics to track player behaviour
    • Deployment with Firebase Hosting

    Results

    • A repeat client, with a third project delivered in 2026
    • Games live online for the research team, with a smooth and successful launch

    This is my third time working with Monier and he has done an excellent job developing the games each time. He has been very flexible making adjustments to the game structure and creating a great final product. I will keep working with this developer in future projects.
