Internship: Larian Studios

For my Digital Arts and Entertainment bachelor's degree I chose to do my end of studies internship as a Tool Developer at the main office of Larian Studios in Gent, an independent RPG developer founded in Belgium, who just released Divinity: Original Sin 2 the sequel to the critically acclaimed Divinity: Original Sin.

As a Tool Developer I created two new tools for internal use, written in C++/CLI and WPF. I also worked on the in-house engine of Larian, the Divinity Engine.

• New tool for 2-way diffing of binary files.
• New tool for creating issue reports from within the editor and game.
• Added several new console commands.
• Added the ability to load savegames from the project and level browser of the editor.
• Implemented the editor logic for supporting more view modes.
• Added compression support and usability improvements to the Memory Tracker Utility, which uses Qt for the UI.
• Added a new property to gameobjects for passing in development comments, and created an overlay utilizing Dear ImGUI to visualize them.
• Improved visualization of trigger zones.
• Improved the UI of the color grading tools.
• Some smaller enhancements and bugfixes.
