History outline

  • Sculptured was currently developing games for publisher Acclaim when Coffin came on as a junior programmer, and was transitioning from the 16-bit to 32-bit era. Was shocked seeing her first PS1 dev kit.
  • Was happy but eventually sought out a company which she felt had more specific passion for coding and the technology behind these engines, and that's how she eventually migrated to DICE.
  • Quote: "I want to make sure I’m doing what I love. And I want to be able to look back on my life and say "Wow! I made all these cool games and a lot of people enjoyed them." That’s what would make me feel like I’ve done something useful with my life."
