Moving to Bioware

It is a time of change, unfortunately mostly due to visa issues I was unable to stay at Epic for any longer. But I have found a new home in Edmonton, AB, Canada. I am moving there to work at Bioware.

I had a great time at Epic, and was lucky enough to work on games like Unreal Tournament 3 and Gears of War 2. We parted on good terms and if I ever have to move again, I hope to return there.

Gears2 was a ton of fun to work on. After working on UT games for so long it was great to make maps for such a different game. It is amazing to see how careful you place cover in a Gears map. We would have indepth discussions on the position and sizes of hallways and pillars, to give as many good cover spots as possible. I mostly worked on Multiplayer maps, fixing up older layouts or creating all new ones. I had the oppertunity to be involved in every aspect of making them, from laying them out to meshing them.

After Gears 2 gets released I will be able to tell you more about specific maps, and meet up with you guys on Xbox live for some games!
