  GTA V Online (Xbox360, PS3, XB1, PS4, PC)- This expanded on the work we had done for GTA IV. We improved and streamlined the multiplayer gameplay systems and supported the many additional gameplay features the game provided. I was also solely responsible for networking the multiplayer scripts which the online game is built on. Max Payne 3 (Xbox360, PS3)- I was credited on this but did not work on it. The multiplayer used the code I had helped write for GTA IV.GTA IV: The Ballad Of Gay Tony (Xbox360, PS3)GTA IV: The Lost And The Damned (Xbox360, PS3)- These involved networking any additional gameplay features provided by the two expansion packs, and supporting the mission scripters.GTA IV (Xbox360, PS3)- I was given the daunting task of networking GTA from scratch and worked on this on my own for a year before I was joined by another programmer (Dan Yelland). Our work involved synchronising the state of the world - pedestrians, AI, vehicles, weapons, script state, events, etc, etc.
