And I finished the AI for the strategy map in Divinity: Dragon Commander. This was mostly fine tuning the genetic algorithm to find a challenging but fun experience for the players. After the release of Divinity: Dragon Commander I worked on the engine and toolset for Divinity: Original Sin. I was responsible for improving the IO system which includes things like packaging game data into packed files and improving disk access to reduce loading times. I also worked on the editor used to create the content of Divinity: Original Sin. I worked on improving the editor's performance and creating new features + their UI's for artists, designers, scripters, writers, ... to use on a daily basis. A big part of this was adding modding support for Divinity: Original Sin and its toolset. This allowed for the community to mod the game and publish the content on the steam workshop. When working on Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition I created a new file format in which most of the game's object data is stored. This together with adding multi threaded saving and serialization improved saving and loading times in Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition. Afterwards I implemented the IO and new systems + improvements on PS4 and XBox One. For Divinity: Original Sin 2 I worked mostly on the editor and toolset. This includes almost all of our different content pipelines for the different teams (art, animation, scripting, ...). From source data to exported game data & packaging. I also was responsible for setting up a new and improved workflow for perforce (+ servers) and its link with the editor. - IO systems - C++ - C++/CLI - WinForms - C# - WPF - Perforce (commit/edge) - Visual Studio - Jira - PS4 - XBox One
