Hired on as an Associate Programmer (hourly position not full-time) and then was hired as a full-time programmer in November. I touched most of the tools during this time as a sort of jack of all trades either for adding features fixing bugs or reworking some ui for ease of use. specifically Before going full-time implemented a sky system and a cinematics pipeline which consisted of a tool in the world editor that allowed for triggering scripted events sounds and controlling a camera and its various properties.
