I've spent the year working on MMO "World of Tanks" and Square Enix published RTS "Order of War", quickly making my way from just doing great art to writing docs , feedback(outsource and inhouse),tutorials and inventing how certain things should work. All the things I strived to introduce dramatically affected contents production speed, as well as visual quality and engine wise efficiency. Eventually, I was offered to form my own R&D department, but decided to see what else the video game industry has in store for me.Projects worked on:- Order of War- World of Tanks
