The first modules developed with Vortex and Unity

During this development we innovated on multiple fronts. This was the first Forestry modules that were developed by CM Labs, the first modules using Vortex as a physics engine with Unity as an editor and renderer. This experience allowed us to really delve into the C# scripting and design a full toolbox for the creation of our exercises.

The Forestry pack contains two modules : the Forwarder and the Harvester

In collaboration with my fellow technical Level Designers, we conceived all the tools that allowed us to adapt all existing features in this new pipeline, monitor and profile performances, create variations of the products (for our own line and OEMs), package and publish the build and documented all these new procedures to ensure that any collaborator could take on our work.

In addition, I also worked in close collaboration with the product owners in order to revamp the whole HUD of our products. This being a new vertical for the company, we had a bit more leeway to diverge from the usual toolset. As a result, we were able to replace our old compass with a minimap, improve the color palette and presentation of all on-screen information and with the newly acquired ownership of the logic tools we could also create a system of events that facilitated the creation of our exercises.
