Martin Musil Technical Game Designer at Wargaming

I design game modes for World of Tanks.

Before joining Wargaming, I built a PvP game on my own in Unreal Engine (C++ and Blueprints) and shipped it on Steam. I'm working on the next one now.

Projects

Live events I've designed for World of Tanks, and games I've built on my own in Unreal Engine.

World of TanksGame Designer 2026

Equalize — Summer 2026

A limited-time 15v15 Arcade mode where tanks of every tier compete. I redesigned its progression and led six playtests; both weekends shipped cleanly, and a larger share of players returned than in the previous relaunch.

  • 15v15, every tier
  • 6 playtests led
  • 2 live weekends

Jade Emperor's Challenge — Lunar 2026

A limited-time 7v7 game mode for World of Tanks celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year. I owned the progression system, mission design, technical configuration, documentation, and the player-facing info page.

  • First Lunar game mode
  • 9-stage progression
  • 11 days, all regions

ELVERA

A third-person PvP action game I built on my own in Unreal Engine and released on Steam. Two factions, a roster of heroes with their own abilities, and round-based events that change how each match plays out.

  • Built solo
  • UE5 and C++
  • Released on Steam

Avalore

A private hobby project: my own remake of the classic MMORPG I grew up with, rebuilt from zero in Unreal Engine 5 C++. It runs as a real client and dedicated server with its own tools and backend, but it's far from finished and isn't published or distributed.

  • Private hobby project
  • Client + dedicated server
  • 64k lines of C++

  • Progression and pacing
  • System design
  • Balancing and tuning
  • Feature ownership

Playtests

I organize and lead the playtests for our events and game modes team at Wargaming. In a session I explain the setup and what we're testing, play in the battles with everyone, and commentate the whole way through. A few of the changes I brought in have stuck, and I'm proud of that.

  • Leading team playtests
  • In-battle hosting and commentary
  • Test guides and instructions
  • Feedback and conclusions

Ranked

Over 10 years of ranked play across several games, and it shapes a lot of how I think about design.

Experience

Two roles at Wargaming, and the IT, data, and community jobs before them.

  1. Jan 2025 – Present Current

    Technical Game Designer

    WargamingPrague, Czech Republic

    I'm on the World of Tanks game design team, working on limited-time game modes and events, and I prototype and pitch new modes as part of R&D runs. Day to day, that means designing modes and progression, tuning numbers, writing the XML configs, running playtests, and following features from the first concept through to release.

    • Designed the progression for Jade Emperor's Challenge (Lunar 2026) and Equalize (Summer 2026), and led Equalize's six playtests
    • Feature Owner on an upcoming World of Tanks release, launching soon
    • Work with QA, UX, developers, publishing, the content team, and other designers, often as the person connecting them
    • My technical background lets me get into implementation details with developers and know what is realistic before asking for it
    • Cover system design when it's needed: documentation, requirements, and specs before production starts
