Guitar Hero: On Tour

Guitar Hero: On TourDuring the summer and fall of 2007 I worked at Activision's Vicarious Visions studio in Albany, NY developing Guitar Hero: On Tour for the Nintendo DS.  

This title will have more than 20 songs, it's own peripheral entitled the "Guitar Grip," and also a guitar-pick shaped stylus.

While I was there, I worked on 2D, 3D and UI aspects of the game using C++, XML, and XSL, and I programmed several of the Guitar Duel attacks incorporating microphone, touch screen and guitar peripheral input.

I also as coded most of the menus for the game, and improved the system for importing menus from 3DSMax to in-game.

More information can be found at the game's website, and links to preorder the game before it's (planned) June 22nd release:
