Cards the Universe and Everything is a mobile Trading Card Game, I was bought onto the team initally to give the game board animated backgrounds. At that time the game was very bare bones and didn't have background music during matches. Soon after I joined the company I spent a weekend developing a dynamic music system to smoothly transition music to be more cherful or dramatic based on the player's score. Off the back of this I was placed in charge of sourcing and dealing with the music. While I was primarily doing graphics programming and animation under the remit of Tech Art, thre was very little standard UI work, I wasn't assigned any work or bandwith or managing art assets and I wore a lot of diferent hats due to the small nature of the company, so I did some significant work creating tools and also was invited to join the design team for a year to help balance cards. I was also put in charge of the project to retrospectively localise the game, designing the system and directing another developer to create it. Then handling meetings and making sure text was correctly handed over to the translation company.

Other than animation work I developed a lot of generic tools during my time at Avid. I created a basic automation framework for testing the game and playing specific cards in a specific order, unfortunately development of this wasn't able to be taken to its full potential due to large amounts of deprecated data internally. While I endevoured to produce other tools such as the Babel Fish string generator to mitigate this problem, it wasn't enouhg of a priority for other members of the team.

Other tools I developed during my time here include:

The CUE Power Analysis Tool that took all the card ability data and parsed it through Google Charts, creating a html file that was a dynamic chart, able to preview a card's image and ability when you hover the moues over the corresponding data. I used this tool to help balance abilities we were releasing into the game over the year when I was working with the Live Ops team to design the new cards.

A materials manager tool inside of Unity that checked any animated materials whenever you saved and made sure no unwanted changes ended up as clutter in git.
Various tools using Google Apps script to run on Google shees and parse and manipulate data, including a tool to grab images from our server and insert them correctly into the corresponding cells on a spreadsheet that was being sent over to a localisaiton company for translation.
A tool named Babel Fish, initially designedto produce sentences in any language, but after we moved over to ML translation I moved to focusing just on English. This was a truely TDD project and I created almost 5000 unit tests, and had been sucessfully working my way through them, fixing all the issues with the inconsistent ability syntax, before, unfortunately, I was unexpectly made redundant after the board carreid out a financial review.
