PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
Primary responsibilities began with cataloging and organizing assets from the original Bioshock for easy use. They grew to encompass a part environment generalist and part tech role, working on a variety of levels and specialized effects. In addition to normal level work, the team was broken into strike teams with particular game wide responsibilities, mine being Eleanor’s childhood and the Cult of Lamb decoration. I was responsible for full implementation of models from design to their placement in level.
