Contributions
- Playstation 4
- During the development of the game I was responsible for making the game compatible with the PS4, I had to use the PS4 development tools for performance profiling and graphical debugging.
- Unreal Engine 4
- Although Unreal Engine 4 offers Playstation 4 support out of the box, it’s not available out of the box. I had to rebuild the complete engine using the PS4 binaries and public UE4 source. I also enhanced small parts of the UE4 source to make creating builds for the PS4 easier.
- Prototyping
- At the start of the project I was involved with rapidly prototyping a multitude of mechanics.
