Deathless was my first team project undertaken at university. The development team consisted of 7 students, 4 from BA Games Design and Production, and 3 from BA Digital Arts. For this project I was producer, sound designer, and technical designer. My jobs involved scheduling bi-weekly meetings, taking meeting notes, collating and presenting weekly presentations for our lecturers, all sound effects, the score, the level design and blockout, and trying to fix any issues that arose during development/impeded the progress of other team members. It was a difficult but highly enjoyable project to work on, and I am very pleased with the final result.
