I’ve been contracted as a sole programmer for this re-release. I outlined the scope of technical changes the game is set to receive, upgraded the codebase to work with modern compilers and to support targetting 64-bit, upgraded the rendering API from Direct3D 8 to Direct3D 9Ex, implemented Steam Workshop and the corresponding uploader application, and worked on countless bugfixes and smaller changes.
Later in development I also took upon managing production more, being responsible for identifying the project requirements and looping in the right people.
