Heroes of Might and Magic V

Heroes of Might and Magic V is the fifth installment of the legendary turn-based strategy series, developed by the Russian studio Nival Interactive and published by Ubisoft. It was the first game in the series in full 3D.

I joined the project during active development as a Tools Programmer, creating map editors and utilities for designers. Later, I led the development team (Team Lead) and then took on the role of Release Manager.

My responsibilities included:

• Leading the development and QA teams.
• Organizing build and testing processes (Build Engineering).
• Technical support for localization into dozens of languages.
• Interacting with the publisher (Ubisoft) regarding quality and deadlines.

We successfully released not only the original game but also two major expansions: 'Hammers of Fate' and 'Tribes of the East', which were warmly received by fans and critics, reviving interest in the series.
