Developer/Editor

Development on a game product is the process of balancing the mechanics, smoothing out the rough patches, and making sure the product turns out to be fun to play and read. Editing strives to make the presentation clear, precise, and error free. Together, it's all about making a product as good as it can be. Here's a sampling of the development and editing projects Bill has done over the course of his career.
