Andy McKenzie of The Coalition confirmed on his Linkedin pagethat the studio’s next project is progressing well and is in full swing. McKenzie previously worked on Gears 5 as Economy & Progression Lead to guide the shooter through live operations and began working on one of the new games as the core gameplay designer in Unreal Engine 5 in 2021!
“Happy New Year to all! After a wild 2020 that I spent working from home and leading # Gears5 through live operations as Economy & Progression Lead, I threw myself headlong into a new role within the studio in 2021. “
“In the last 7 months I have been working as a core gameplay designer in Unreal Engine 5 on one of our new projects! This took a lot of self-study on my part and a lot of trust on the part of the studio, as I’ve never made a game in the Unreal Engine in the editor before. I am happy to report that things have been going very well so far. “
“That in turn sparked a desire to learn new skills, and I’m now taking character animation and 2D / 3D art classes for fun. Receiving permanent residency in Canada rounded off the year! To another year full of learning and growth! “
