• Worked on Booyah's top grossing title 'No Zombies Allowed'.
• Implemented various gameplay features including special hero animations, town decoration and customizations, weapon selection and 'boss fight' system.
• Integrated new game combat modes.
• Implemented a user interactive slot machine for game mode selection.
• Revamped and optimized existing user interfaces which include many core UI components like the map screen with animated annotations and combat flows.
• Worked on developing the UI pipeline tool for future Booyah games.
• The tool replaces the need for xibs/nibs and uses deserialized JSON data to create views.
• The user interfaces are designed in Flash. I wrote ActionScript components (classes) for adding meta data to Flash symbols. These Flash files were exported using JSFL scripts. I wrote Ruby scripts to scrape data from the exported Flash files which turned them into readable format JSON files. On the client side, implemented features to read in the JSON files to create native UI components.
• Worked on prototyping the new title (name as yet unannounced)
• I was the point person for all the UI needs.
• Implemented all the major UI flows using the new UI tool.
• Designed and implemented the game state flows for numerous core features.
