TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE - AAA Third Person Shooter.Upon joining I immediately took on major production roles requiring swift action, effective leadership and strategic planning.Missions:- Working with a large team of conflicting personalities I successfully took ownership to deliver various missions across multiple biomes. This was a significant achievement and demonstrated my ability to drive results under challenging circumstances and maintain team cohesion. Missions AND Cinematics:- Despite the increased workload, I met all goals and delivered all required assets on time, showcasing my capacity to handle multiple high-pressure responsibilities simultaneously. - Narrative and Creative set new expectations for cutscene deliverables and I co-ordinate with cinematic outsourcer REALTIME and helped to deliver a 'peak experience' cutscene to a tight deadline and under significant pressure. Open World Activities:- I owned a team tasked with making the open world engaging. Using my game design experience to help 'Find The Fun' we quickly developed various activities. - To achieve this I created a daily morning ritual of playing the latest build with the team, spotting problems and finding creative solutions together. This approach fostered a cohesive and quality-driven environment, receiving positive feedback from many team members who regarded it as the most rewarding experience of the entire project because it focused on solving problems and iterative improvement of product quality. Additional Responsibilities:- Developing and maintaining detailed project roadmaps to ensure alignment with overall project goals and timelines. - Balancing scope versus capacity to ensure realistic and achievable milestones. - Providing leadership and mentorship to team members, fostering a collaborative and productive work environment. - Managing stakeholder expectations and ensuring clear communication across all departments.
