Gameplay Programmer

• Mar 2006 - Oct 2007

For my first ~20 months or so at Ninja Theory I was working as a gameplay programmer on the PS3 title Heavenly Sword. My work predominently revolved around development of the combat system and the four bosses in the game (I was responsible for implementing Roach, Bohan and Flying Fox, as well as taking-over maintenance and further development of Whiptail at points towards the end of the project), though as with most gameplay positions I also did varied work across other sections of the game (e.g. Kai movement, crossbowmen AI, several game objects, and so on).Post-HS I remained at Ninja Theory and moved to the engine team to pursue my love of technology programming :)
