PLAYERUNKNOWN PRODUCTIONS / PUBG Special Projects. As the studio’s ‘veteran’ designer, I designed, prototyped and helped orchestrate the initial product. Assisting in establishing the design department, I championed the game design discipline in a start-up environment. Then continued to be the bastion of design, involved in the design direction, owning the flow of ‘ideas from concept to execution’.The bridge between high-level design goals and specific solutions, collaborating with other specialists and researchers over implementation of gameplay and translation of more complex requirements into technical specifications. Prototyping, game architecture, system design and implementation, balancing, document creation, running meetings, design peer-reviews, independently conducting interviews and be part of the decision-making process together with HR and Directors for specific candidates with technical and / or design backgrounds. Continual focus on personal development.-"We are tasked with exploring, experimenting, and creating new technologies, tools, pipelines, and gameplay; but for me, it is more than that. Together with a team of game developers and researchers, we will explore new possibilities of interaction and connection within the game space." - Brendan Greene
