Andi Smith

I led the development team building a choose-your-own-adventure mobile game drawing on the BBC's Natural History back catalogue. Players took the role of a lion cub, making decisions that determined their survival.

• Solved dynamic video buffering and loading so branching choices played seamlessly, without the pauses that would break immersion.
• Built a dynamic event system allowing each clip to be configured individually, ensuring the reaction window at any decision point was long enough to stay playable.
• Worked with archive footage never intended for interactive use, adapting documentary material into game logic.
