• Built out the core game play server architecture with a small team of Senior Engineers. This provided a clear model for the building and interaction of all subsequent server game play systems.• Designed and wrote Server Combat Code. The system was very flexible and put into designer hands the ability to mix and match effect types (damage, knock back, pull target, charge, stat mods, triggered etc.) and target types (area of effect, group members, pets, friendly, enemy etc.). The system also guaranteed synchronized play back on the client between the casters attack and targets reaction (unlike many MMOs).• Wrote client runtime and authoring tool for synchronized playback of animation, audio, vfx, sfx, camera control, lip-sync, and Kismet interaction in the Unreal Engine. This was used for combat and many other systems in the game.• Maintained/Enhanced code integration between BigWorld and Unreal.• Improved BigWorld RPC processing response time.• Built out a python unit and integration test frame work that emulated the BigWorld Server, so that all game play systems could be tested with every code check in.• Wrote client targeting systems (mouse select, area select, tab target, auto targeting, auto facing, move to target etc).• Touched and supported virtually every server system in the game.• Worked closely with leads in Design, Animation, Audio, VFX and production to ensure feature scheduling and implementation.• Managed and provided technical direction for several engineers covering the areas of grouping systems, combat, UI, inventory, and audio.
