Role: Lead Programmer, Gameplay Programmer
Engine: Unreal 4, C++

Summary:
Blank Slate is a tactical squad-based game with stealth elements. Players control the female protagonist, who needs to escape from the oppressive government using mind control technology. This allows the player to extend their range of abilities, by using other characters as 'pawns' in order to engage in combat, or infiltrate restricted areas.

During this project I took the role of Lead Programmer, where I was in charge of the code structure and development of the game.
In the course of 40 weeks I worked on various parts of the game:

Core game structure design
Overseeing and guiding a team of 7 programmers.
Gameplay Programming
UI Programming
Low/High level planning
Programming documentation
Working closely with design and art to fix any issues or problems
Bug fixing, polishing and releasing the game

Blankslate was released on July 2016 and currently can be played on Utomik.

My role:

Overseeing and guiding a team of 7 programmers. Maintaining communication between the art and design teams and planning the next step in development of the game.

In the programming team we used a scrum style of planning, with stand-up meetings at the beginning of the day and “end of the sprint” meeting, in which we reflected on our work and planned in the next sprint.

Using this style we made sure the game progressed and the rest of the team could also see and play the game they worked so hard on.
