Senior Unity Game Developer
Ahmet Mert Düzgün
Computer engineer. In software since 2017, in mobile games since 2020. I build hybrid-casual and hyper-casual mobile games in Unity. I take a concept from the first idea to a build that is ready to test, decide the gameplay architecture, and run the CPI and CTR tests that show whether it is worth taking further.

I take hybrid-casual concepts for Voodoo from the first idea to a Unity build we can actually test, and I decide the gameplay architecture for each one.

Senior Game Developer · SciPlay Games Turkey
Formerly Alictus · ODTÜ Teknokent, Ankara · Promoted to Senior in March 2023
25+ published mobile games in a self-published portfolio that passed 300 million downloads. One of the first two developers on Match Hotel, the first hybrid-casual title the studio made after it moved away from hyper-casual.
I wrote a lot of the mini-game mechanics, for games that shipped and for prototypes that never did. I was part of the idea stage as well, and ran the CPI and CTR tests that decided which concepts went further. On live games I followed retention and ROAS.
Gameplay systems, architecture, the daily build flow, live updates and A/B tests on games already out. Monetisation too: in-app purchases, rewarded ads and interstitials, and in-game economy design. Set up and maintained Firebase, GameAnalytics, Adjust, Unity Services and the ad SDKs, and kept the Jenkins pipeline running. On many projects I also oversaw the Git setup the whole development and art team worked in.

Where the numbers come from
- 300M+ downloads. SciPlay press release, 1 March 2022: “Since 2019, Alictus has developed and published a portfolio of top-ranked games that have generated more than 300 million total downloads to date.” businesswire.com
- #1 Free Game, US App Store. Same press release: “Many of Alictus’s games have achieved #1 Free Game in the iOS U.S. App Store, including Candy Challenge 3D, Rob Master 3D, Deep Clean Inc., Oh God!, Money Buster!, and Collect Cubes.” All six are titles I worked on.
- 10M+ installs. Google Play listing data for Deep Clean Inc. 3D and Candy Challenge 3D. Android only, so the real totals across both stores are higher. Match Hotel is listed at 500K+.
Game icons and titles belong to their respective publishers and are shown here to identify the projects I worked on. The game count is my own, covering the titles I contributed to at Alictus / SciPlay Games Turkey. Part of the catalogue was delisted after the studio closed, so not every title I worked on has a live store page.
