: It's finally out! I was the lead gameplay programmer on this extremely ambitious project, published by Team17, involving over a dozen voice actors, and featuring more than 1 million words of content. I was the first programmer hired onto the team and I was responsible for leading my team to realize the core features of the project.
: I had many responsibilities including creating specifications, writing and maintaining features, managing and recruiting members of the programming team, advocating for technical concerns during internal and crucial publisher meetings, and communicating daily with directors and executive producers Ray Chase, Robbie Daymond, and Max Mittelman to realize their vision for the project. It was really crazy working with such well known actors who had played characters from my favorite games and anime!
: It was all very stressful because I had so many competing needs to manage! My top priority was to keep my programming team healthy and happy, all while ensuring a high standard of user experience and accessibility, plus the production and executive team's budgetary restrictions and overall vision for the project, and the need to meet strict deadlines. It was very challenging! I wouldn't be scared to face such a large project again after this experience.

An Outcry
The night of the 14th of October 2017 was no ordinary night-
A heavy beating of strange wings filled the air with the scent of smoke,
and covered the stars in an ink-like rot.
: I was an event scripter on this project. I worked closely with the director to implement scenes as written, using dialogue and previous gameplay as a reference point. My recommendations influenced a prominent feature of the game, and I added detail, flavor, and polish to all parts of the gameplay. I wrote some additional dialogue and narration that show up in the final version of the game.
