Oh boy, where to begin...

Our failed "Social Game" startup. CTO sounds too serious, I was, like, the only developer in the company for the duration. I found the project itself very interesting. I wrote the game client in Silverlight, what was very hot at the time. The server was standard ASP.NET/MSSQL backend with a WCF channel to the client. We ran out of money, so there you go.

Presented at the Days of Microsoft Bulgaria 2011 in Sofia Held a lecture titled “Component-based game architecture in .NET and Silverlight” in the game development track. Presented the DynObjects library (dynobjects.codeplex.com).

I began here as a junior and graduated as a lead. I took care of the 3D engine, designer tools, networking and gameplay development for Earthrise ( https://www.google.de/search?q=earthrise+game&tbm=isch ). As one of the three lead developers, among many other things, I integrated PhysX (collision detection and ragdolls), integrated SpeedTree, and implemented the entirety of the lighting, shadowing and shading engine, HDR, the particle systems engine, the entire network stack and most of the AI.
