The studio had previously already worked on Call of Duty: +World at War Zombies, so we begun with that project as a start. + +Given the amount of UI that I had done on previous projects, I +requested to work on other things as well. As such, I had a bit more +experience on this game, working with all the different systems. This +included writing a lot more set piece scenarios, as well as +implementing fast lookup systems for interactables on the large maps. + +Regarding UI, one of the reasons that I managed to do so little, +despite being the developer with the most UI implementation +experience, and having the closest working relationship with the UI +artists, was that I had discovered a project called [[http://tulrich.com/textweb.pl?path=geekstuff/gameswf.txt][gameswf]]. I spent +two weeks integrating it with our in house rendering and asset +management systems, and then provided support throughout the rest of +the project for actionscript bugs, as well as optimising the rendering +by, for example, replacing the internal font rendering with hooks into +our own optimised bitmap font rendering systems. Overall, this allowed +the artists far more flexibility to create dynamic menu systems, and +allowed me to work on other game features. + +[[url_for_img:static,file=images/cv/pexels-photo-9818998.jpeg][Photo by Mario Wallner from Pexels]] |
