Bio
James Posey
I had the privilege of working with Josh on 2 team game projects while attending the Guildhall at SMU and feel extremely lucky to have had him on my team on both occasions. On the first team game project, Josh and I were the only team members. As we had no programmer, Josh took it upon himself to do all the scripting for the project. He was always dedicated 125%, often staying up every night not only until they kicked us out of the building at 1am, but often an hour or so longer as we worked from the parking lot of the building. As a result of his dedication, our game project was the first in the history of the school to make it to exhibition with only 2 team members. On the final capstone team game project, Josh had the title of lead level designer. As the lead, he not only assigned tasks, kept level designers focused and disciplined, but also managed to script not only 1, but 3 fully functional, completely unique, and fun boss fights. Most of the capstone game projects can barely manage 1. Josh did 3. As a person, Josh is passionate, articulate, humble, and dedicated. He is a good leader and great at keeping people focused when they might slip otherwise. Josh is an extremely valuable asset to have on any team and I really hope to have the honor of working with him again in the near future.
