Team of 4 | Lead Game Server Developer | Windows | 2022 - Present
In 2015, the free-to-play live service game Halo: Online launched and sadly soon closed its doors forever. The game has since been unplayable in it's original form. The Anvil Station private server project aims to resurrect and preserve this game as it was, making it playable once again for the public.
I've been working as the primary game server developer, with research assistance coming from another member of the team. The other team members work primarily on the game's live service API, which I give occasional assistance to. My job has been to reverse engineer the game client to identify and reimplement missing code relating to server hosting, networking and simulation which was stripped from the game client.
