WHAT I WORKed On?
I have been responsible for a significant portion of the new clothing items introduced in the DLC. This required adhering to strict guidelines and selecting items that fit seamlessly within the Frostline universe. My work involved extensive research, close collaboration with artists to ensure visual accuracy, and coordination with scripters for items featuring special functionalities.
I was deeply involved in the production of boats, overseeing the process from pre-production to final testing. This included extensive research, concept development, and collaboration with artists and animators to ensure visual and functional accuracy. Throughout the production cycle, I worked on fine-tuning various aspects, from physics and handling to visual details, ensuring that each boat felt immersive. Rigorous testing was essential to refine mechanics, optimize performance, and deliver a polished experience that met both gameplay and aesthetic DayZ standards.
