“I worked with TJ at Surreal Software, and then later at WB Games after the studio was acquired. TJ’s levels in Lord of the Rings: War in the North had some serious visual punch, and he seems to have an almost uncanny knack for making the player feel invested and engaged in gameplay. During the course of a single level, he’d take you from feeling tiny as you stared down the looming, lonely cliffs ahead, to triumphant as you turned the tide of a massive, visceral battle. And somehow he managed to do this while making whole experience feel natural and cohesive. It’s hard “just” to be a good designer. But it’s incredibly rare to find the kind of dedicated designer who can craft those key, stick-with-you moments that really define a game. And despite (or perhaps because of) the years I’ve spent testing and trying to break TJ’s work, I have to say that he’s definitely got that spark.”
