A Brain Dump of What I Worked on for Uncharted 4
This post is part of My Career Series. 本文之中文翻譯在此 Now that Uncharted 4 is released, I am able to talk about what I worked on for the project. I mostly worked on AI for single-player buddies and multiplayer sidekicks, as well as some gameplay logic. I'm leaving out things that never went in to the

As Steve McConnell said back in 1994: Programmers working with high-level languages achieve better productivity and quality than those working with lower-level languages.
