Background

About Tim Sweeney

I love creating great games. I love solving problems creatively. Funny enough, the two seem well matched. These days I would call myself a designer / programmer or technical designer, though I've worn several hats in those areas along the way. I've worked on MMOs both just starting out (Stargate Worlds) and with a long history (City of Heroes). I shipped two major expansions to City of Heroes (Going Rogue and the Freedom free to play initiative) and eight other content updates. Specialties: Technical Design – Getting the metal of tech to mesh with the minds of design. Gameplay and tool programming in C, Python, C#, Perl, Java. System Design – MMORPG, Strategy, RPG, Board and Card games. Content Design – Fresh challenges, characters, dialog. Structure, problem solving, and continuity management are my areas of expertise. Production – Leading teams. Finding & fixing problems. Getting stuff done.
