XCOM Legends
AAA technical art on XCOM Legends — tooling, VFX, and the technical spine of a live mobile squad-tactics build under alien pressure.
A live mobile tactics game does not pause for a beautiful shader that misses budget. XCOM Legends needed tooling, VFX, and a technical spine that could take content after launch.
Chao’s work sat in that seam: artist-safe tools, effects that survive a phone, and the kind of pipeline hygiene a live title either has or bleeds.
Circuit Biscuit Games still takes this class of brief — not a trailer polish pass, a production nervous system.
