For art things I was available for anything that would need to have the programmers ready to make it work, like the map, various sprite sheets, objects, screenshots, buttons and dialog characters. I also took care of all presentations and videos both inside and outside the game. I participated in the parameterization of the units, their characteristics, speeds and animations and carried the map of the GDD to the game itself.

As a leader, when I intervened I did it from the calm, with a lot of left hand, listening to all the parts and trying to find the best solution for the project as democratically as possible. I also suggested quite a few cuts of some parts of the game and several propositions that were coming up, to intuit their complexity or excessive workload to arrive at the dates.

Responsible of the general production of code, ensuring that the code is functional and with a minimum quality standard. My role also included distributing and solving bugs, keeping a clean repository on Github and clean up any memory leaks. You can find the initial TDD (Tech Design Document) here.

Aside from those responsibilities, along our project I carried out the following tasks:

• Provided base code, changing everything from our own containers to STL. This already included some functionality for our game, such as modules for the Map and File System management.
• Integrate the animations for every unit with its spritesheet into the game, using a system which uses the direction, action and type of unit to return the right sprite.
• Design the AI trying to make it simple but also good enough for a RTS. This included choosing what kind of stats would the units have (attack, range, hp…) and their behaviour depending on several factors.
• Implement a pathfinding system for units.
• Minimap. We currently have drawing of the representation of the map, and every unit is calculated and painted over it. I also took care of representing the camera position on it and the possibility to click on the map to move the camera to the location you clicked on. This was the hardest task and it could still see some improvement.
• Video manager to be able to play videos while in-game, life bars for units, progress bar on building, particle system and Save&Load system. dialogue system.

I am in charge of establishing the production plan of the game. Assign the tasks to each team member, content planning and possible contingencies; In addition to controlling the timing of the equipment. You can consult the production plan here.

Here you will find a document that shows the control of times and tasks of the equipment.

In addition to all of the above I have participated in practically all areas of work as you can see in the chart.

For example:

• Community team manager, creation of content, contact with followers and contact with several public entities.
• Add audio and units to the game.
• Game metrics, missions, objects and resources systems.
• Creation of utilities to facilitate the work of implementation.
• Design and creation of the game interface and tutorial.

What I have done?

• UI development
  • UI serialization
  • UI elements
  • UI maintenance
  • UI documentation
• Development of engine tools
  • Debug tools for pathfinding
  • Brofiler integration
  • Helped a bit to develope EntityManager
• Code maintenance
  • Bug Fixing
  • Other
• Key binding system
• An unsuccessful IA manager

I tried to be as much as proactive as I could be. When someone of my team asked me for help i tried to help them.

In charge of the game design document of Age of empires: Jigoku do where you can find the design philosophy of our videogame as well as its core gameplay. You can check the document here.

Apart from this game design document I have been heavily involved in programming our videogame, doing meaningful contributions at:

• Our Resource System.
• Enemy Waves System.
• Implementation of our Camera & Camera culling.
• Improving our map, units behaviour (Pathfinding & animations)and UI.
• Balancing our game as well as adding new game modes to it.
• Other programming tasks such as bug fixing & game engine improvement.

I spent most of my time programming and designing our game taking into account every challenge we have encountered. My approach designing the pillars of the game was to make a challenging but satisfactory gameplay. In the programming environment I was under command of our lead programmer Adrià following as precisely as possible his instructions to ensure the best quality possible for our game.

Responsible of the game quality ensuring the game achieves a minimum standards. Responsible of the bug finding and the organization of all the issues found, everything has to be checked before moving on.

Check the QA plan here.

Apart from my role responsibilities I cleaned and adapted the base code provided by the code lead to a uniform code style and improved the basic system with several improves and good practises. Also adapting some containers to std ones such as some “p2String” to “std::string”.

I also prepared a base entity system with a hierarchical organization with its own rendering pipeline to focus the child's entities on their specific functionality and avoiding the scene handle all the functionality of the game. Apart from the code, the system was provided with a simple documentation and a guide for the team to understand it and be able to use it.

As an art manager in this project, I have been dedicated to generating artistic content for both the game and the studio. At first design the GangBug logo with all its different possibilities for the publication of the same in different supports and devices.

I had to develop the bible of art and audio, it defines all the details of how the elements of the game should remain, not only in the art section but also in the technical one.

Extract the textures, animations and sounds of the game, then realizing their SpriteSheets and their parallel files for proper implementation by the programmers.

In some moments apart from making art I have dedicated a little time to social networks and try to solve some bugs.

Finally I have dedicated to the development of the web, this one you are browsing, I hope you like it :)
