I attended and ran all of the weekly producers' meetings. I also prepared and presented all of the presentations at the various milestones for The Shaman Engines. I also organized and ran weekly playtests among my fellow students.Programming - As a programmer, I wrote most of our level editor tool, the art pipeline we used, the skybox, the splash screens and credits, all of the serialization for The Shaman Engines, and the score tracking system. I also wrote test cases for the portions of code I owned.Level Design - I created levels 1 and 3 for the game as well as making all of the environmental art assets in level 1 and the non-building assets in level 3 in 3DS Max.
