Successor
A roguelite strategic RPG with a distinct diorama look. I owned gameplay architecture, behaviour-tree AI, procedural generation and the VR port.
Technical Game Designer · Unreal Engine
Hi, I'm Morten Hansen — I turn game ideas into shipping systems.
Six years building Successor in Unreal Engine: gameplay architecture, behaviour-tree AI, procedural generation, UI and a full VR port from a single codebase. In a tiny team I touched every part of the game, from texture fixes to grand design.
About
I build experiences that feel like magic to the people using them — whether that is a roguelite RPG, an AI-driven shooter, or an iOS app used by millions.
For over a decade I have shipped software across very different worlds: 6 years as a technical game designer on Unreal Engine titles, a long iOS career (Falcon Social, Tattoodo, Nodes), a CTO co-founder role, and more recently game AI work with modl.ai.
What ties it together is a product-oriented mindset: what is the point of building something powerful if nobody enjoys using it? I love working with people who share that vision.
