Notable Accomplishments

Before implementation of vehicles I was tasked with determining possible paths to better define or obscure for players to traverse. Many of these suggestions were accepted which opened new avenues of movement for players and vehicles alike.
Determined the cause of a critical issue that was causing players to be slowed when in an objective. The cause was barbed wire throughout the level which was applying its slowing effect to other gameplay capsules it was connected to.
Before every major release, every gameplay layer was tested thoroughly to check for core functionality of player spawns, objective capturability, and progression between objectives, all 80 layers. This was to verify that the most basic gameplay loop was possible on every gameplay layer.
