Living ecology
Species, weather, metabolism, population, disease, territory, and extinction systems are expressed as C++ types plus YAML-backed configuration. The code keeps the simulation testable without a rendered scene.

Systems with a pulse.
I build playable worlds where ecology, weather, lineage, and player choice share one ruleset. This portfolio documents the Age of Eons work visible in this repository: native Unreal C++, deterministic simulation code, authored data, a local web portal, and the tools that connect them.

Selected work
A world built as a system.
Age of Eons is an open-world prehistoric prototype. The strongest parts are the rules underneath the spectacle: server-authoritative creature state, deterministic ecology, and a toolchain that makes iteration inspectable.
02 · Network play
Authority first
Creature movement and combat use replicated, quantized state with server validation. The beta portal uses revocable sessions, CSRF protection, and separate reviewer and identity-operator authority.
03 · Tools
Make the world inspectable
Python and PowerShell tools build, verify, launch, capture, and audit the world. Local pages expose species, atlas, server, and beta concepts without pretending sample data is live telemetry.

Case study · Frontier world pass
From authored seeds to a readable landscape.
The Frontier pass combines procedural terrain, biome dressing, climate and creature systems into an Unreal world. The recorded verification says the ordinary game continued beyond map loading with 40 AI and regular autosave.
Built/tested: local Unreal capture and verification artifacts. Planned: production multiplayer release, public server operations, and final art polish.
Case study · Deterministic rules
Simulation that can be reasoned about.
Weather and ecology are seeded and advanced through bounded data models. Headless tests cover creature, ecology, registry, and world math paths so a visual pass does not become the only source of truth.

Path of Titans · current context
Modding with a clear runway.
The Age of Eons work is an independent Unreal prototype and portfolio proof. It is not presented as an Alderon Games mod, approval, partnership, or released Path of Titans content.
Alderon’s current guidance
Private testing
Alderon’s current FAQ says Path of Titans modding is under private testing; people with prior modding experience can sign up through the official creator portal. The application guide says applicants must be at least 18, complete all application steps, and may need to accept an NDA. Access is not guaranteed.
Relevant proof
Transferable practice
My evidence here shows data-driven creature systems, native C++ gameplay code, world tools, material and lighting passes, and a testing habit. Path of Titans SDK work will begin if access is approved.
Next honest step
Build the bridge
For an actual application, I would prepare a compact mod sample using the authorized Dev Kit, document original assets and permissions, and follow Alderon’s current portal and agreement requirements after access is granted.
