Prifessional Project:__Edge of Twilight
When: 2008-2009
Position: Programmer
Company: Fuzzyeyes Studios
Location: Brisbane, Australia
Project Name: Edge of Twilight
Languages: C++, UnrealScript™
Engine: Unreal Engine 3
Description:
A third person, action-adventure game developed for the PS3, XBox360 and PC platforms. It
presents a unique post-apocalyptic steam-punk fantasy world that has been split into
separate realms of day and night. The game play is a mix of combat, exploration and puzzlesolving
Roles and Responsibilities:
My main responsibility for the first year of the project was to develop the A.I system used in the game. I would be given a 3D Model along with starting animations and I would have to implement phase one from the design documents. During this phase I worked closely with
both the designers and animators to create something enjoyable for the game.
During the second year I worked on many different aspects of the game. I implemented new game play mechanics such as player combat, volumes, camera systems and editor tools; I even coded more abstract things such as the new Asus Motion Controller into UnrealEngine3
for our game as a possible bundle deal with Asus.
I'm currently Living in London. I arrived on 13/11/09 and currently looking for work as a programmer. Prior to moving to London I took 2 months off work and travelled around Europe. My goal now is to find work and live in London for the next two or more years.
Before coming to Europe I was employed as a Games Programmer working for Fuzzyeyes. Fuzzyeyes is an Australian based game studio working on the highly anticipated Edge of Twilight; a third person action adventure game for the PS3, XBox360 and PC platforms. My role within this professional team varies in scope dependent on the needs of the project; everything from implementing new game play mechanics and editor tools to modifying the engine itself.
Shortly before my employment at Fuzzyeyes, I studied at Qantm College receiving a 'Bachelor of Interactive Entertainment' with a 'Games Programming' major in 2007.
