I started working on Just Dance 2023 in 2019.
The project aimed to be a total change from the previous iterations. Just Dance never had synchronous multiplayer which had to be done from scratch.

I worked very early with online programmers and online services teams within Ubisoft to create a design in accordance with the technical limitations, the budget and time constraints.

I also had to design ranked mode, matchmaking and coop gamemodes while making it relevant to both casual and hardcore players.

I worked a lot in collaboration with UI/UX teams to make sure everything was easily understandable.

The game had a lot of systems answering to each other, so I also was in charge of the systemic structure of the game and how the multiplayer systems would interact together.
