2005 - ColdWinter

Developer: Swordfish Studios
Format: PlayStation 2

ColdWinter was a spy based 1st person shooter for Sony's PlayStation 2 with a story provided by Warren Ellis and voice talent provided by Tom Baker. This project was enormous fun to work on and in total I provided 6 environments for the game which included middle eastern towns, underground bunkers and even secret mountain lairs. The chief gameplay USP was the extensive use of Havok physics throughout the title. This led to some very tight budgets for the environments so we worked hard to really maximise the final visual quality. Although we were under some sizeable restrictions the finished environments really came to life when they were fully populated with enemies, physics objects and all manner of environment and particle FX. ColdWinter comes a close second to Motorstorm: Arctic Edge as one of my favourite projects.
