About Ehsan Shams

I'm a creative professional with more than 2 decades of experience in the video game industry. What makes me passionate about video games is the combination of technology and creativity, and how multiple disciplines come together to create a new world for people to experience. Whenever I'm working on game design or making puzzles for adventure games or making an engagement area in an open-world environment, I always try to tell a story. Daily responsibilities: Creating level layouts, hot spots, and points of interest (POIs) for players to explore according to the themes and lores of the game. Iterating levels through the full cycle of production from conception to finalization, maintaining and balancing the readability, difficulty, and fun factor. Creating prototypes for new mechanics using blueprint. Making tools in consort with the programming department for streamlining the production pipeline using blueprint. Plane optimization guidelines and setup level streaming, world partition, and HLODs. Mentoring junior members of the team by providing guidance and support to help them develop their skills and knowledge. It includes providing feedback on their work, answering questions they may have, and helping them to identify areas for improvement.
