What exactly is your role? What do you do here?
TL;DRThe speaker is mainly a gameplay and tools programmer who worked on the Hangar app and will help with server work as persistence arrives.
I'm mainly, right now, a gameplay person. In the past, I've done a lot of tools work. I work fairly well with non-programmers, and so I tend to follow the tools role. We're using CryEngine. We have everything we need. And so I've also done a lot of gameplay. So I did a lot for the Hangar app. Going forward, I'm going to do a little bit with Tom Sawyer. I've done some server work before, and he's getting to the point where he's going to be able to slice off some stuff that he's going to need help with. There's not going to be any overhead to eat up any of his time trying to learn it.
And that'll take some of the burden off, because persistence is coming. And once we get persistence, it's a whole other bailiwick. Right now, you're just hitting the database and it tells you what you have and it populates it and we're good to go.
Yeah, we have it pretty easy right now. It's going to get complicated soon.
