Brainstorm with other members of the concept team to come up with new and innovative game ideas.Developed a reusable framework for iOS flash.Developed quick and unskinned prototypes with Air for iOS to approve gameplay.Designed and skinned prototypes along with a whole user environment to simulate the final product in order to have projects green-lit.Worked with game designer to create varying prototypes for user testing.

In pre-production phase, I created a framework to quickly build Air prototypes. Working with game designers, UI designers and artists, I designed UI components, game flows and game scenes to test out gameplay for green-lighting.In production phase, I worked with lead engineers and artists to determine needs and possibilities, and suggesting solutions on how to make it work, often through scripts for artists or C# components for the engineers.I developed a city building engine along in C# with AS3 and JSFL tools to edit it outside the game framework and simplify artist's work and integration.
