Notable accomplishments
  • Improved the general toolset of SabreCSG and RealtimeCSG while in direct contact with programmers over Skype.
  • Explained and showcased UX, UI, and workflow issues while using the editors live for the programmers.
  • ​Clearly communicated issues and examples using other editors as well as from level design experience where potential bottlenecks appeared, in a clear fashion so that the problem is understood from a design side as well as from a programming side.
Learning points
  • Communicating design points of view to programmers is best done visually.
  • Better than visually it is done live, with the programmer directly understanding how their tool is used and what the direct impact of certain issues can be.
  • Understanding and knowing as many other editors as possible gives the clearest and bulkiest amount of direct feedback, as comparisons are very easily made and understood.
