404sight is my thesis project for graduate school. It is being created over a year and a half with the work of 12 students comprised of engineers, artists, and producers. I have the opportunity to work as lead producer. Most of my time is spent measuring development time, overseeing team communication, scheduling, making design decisions, and general project oversight. I also contributed in many of the visual effects, by tuning mechanics, building worlds, and managing bugs.
