About Dave Walsh

As a Designer, I create the initial documentation for either Level Designs or Systems. I help maintain the initial vision and style of those designs across the game and ensure consistent standard through the development. Depending on the project, I can move into hands on production via greybox/blockout stage to full gameplay implementation.I have also lead the day to day management of teams and enabled good communication & coordination between Code and Art disciplines. When necessary, I have also managed contact with external service providers, outsourcers and recruitment and selection of staff.Specialties: Qualifications:Team Leadership, GDD/Systems Documentation and Design, Interdepartmental Liaison, Encounter and Behavioural Scripting, Level/World Layout Design, AI/Level/Event Scripting, HUD/UIX Systems Concept and Design, Outsource Management, 3D Art Asset Creation, Concept Art/CinematicsSoftware:Visual Scripting (various), CryEngine, TorchEd, Unity, In-House Tools, Maya, 3dsMax, Havok, Photoshop, DeepPaint, DeepUV, Character Studio, Illustrator, SourceSafe, Alienbrain, Perforce, Dreamweaver, Quark
