Gwendolyn Murray’s Summary

I'm a senior Game Development major at Scad, looking for job opportunities designing game systems or narrative content.

I pitched my team's game - Sloppy Ice - at the SXSW Casual Game Design competition and won first place!

I'm also a 2009 IGDA GDC Scholar and had a mind-blowing week in San Francisco. It was great to meet so many people and share cool ideas.

Gwendolyn Murray’s Experience

• Designer

  REDFlame Interactive

  (Computer Games industry)

  May 2008 — October 2008 (6 months)

  REDFlame Interactive is an independent developer but works closely with CDProjekt RED, a Polish game development company. We are basically the official mod group for CDProjekt, and are working on our first mod for The Witcher titled "Deception" and one other Witcher-related project. REDFlame has employees worldwide and we communicate through Skype and Ventrilo.
  
  The Deception team is currently implementing voice-overs and bugtesting, and the mod is set to be releashed soon. From working on this project, I've learned how important it is to stay in touch with my team and my lead and also why deadlines and milestones are necessary to get anything done, especially with a spread out team!
  
  I worked on the following parts of Deception:
  -- Enhanced town exterior with static meshes
  -- Oversaw bug report database
  -- Wrote and cleaned up character dialogue
