I joined House of Ashes right from the early stages of pre-production, and stayed on through to the post-release patches. Priorities shifted heavily throughout this development cycle, with my initial responsibilities being whiteboxing environments and assisting with the script flow and pacing.
​
Once we moved to the main production phase I took on the role of team lead reviewing work and helping develop about a third of the game's levels. Much of this time was spent sorting out mocap data and developing cinematics, as well as fleshing out the game's progression. This meant a lot of time was also spent figuring out how to time split-narrative routes in order for multiplayer synchronization to remain smooth, when there was potentially a lot of variance in the paths.
​
This has been my favorite project to work on so far. Getting on at the very beginning of pre-production and seeing it through past release and into the patches taught me more than any other project.
