The Warlock of Firetop Mountain is the first professional project that I ever worked on as an intern at Tin Man Games. Having been approved for the SAE Internship Program an entire year early, I was only given the option of performing QA tasks, however, I was lucky enough that my performance warranted me with design, balancing and narrative tasks. I joined the team approximately 1-2 months before the game was released, so the majority of the game was already completed, but I was fortunate enough to have enough work to keep me occupied.
