Founder/Developer
Creatopia
I created a server for over 100+ daily active players for this personal business venture with a centralized server for players to engage on. I designed and assembled the server using custom-selected hardware and configured the internet to allow external users to join. I made revenue from cosmetic and prop sales and carefully budgeted to ensure the sustainability and profitability of the server.
To customize the in-game experience I used customized plugins coded in Java using Maven for project management. I also configured the Java startup flags, server settings and plugin configurations to ensure optimal performance and bring players the best content possible.
I lead a team to support the players and create new content.
