Horizon Call of the Mountain - RiverRide

I had the honor and pleasure of leading the amazing Environment team throughout development, while also being an active member of the team within the levels.

Not only was I was responsible for driving the visual quality for the entire team across all environments, I was also providing leadership, guidance, feedback and mentoring while closely working with the Code, Narrative, Design, and Animation departments.

I was responsible for the team management, scheduling, creating the environment pipelines and working practices, asset library management, building some assets, geometric budgets, texture budgets, taking levels from blockout to final art, and optimisation.
