Awen: Build System

In 2008-2009 I created a new automated build and publish system for Awen to make it easy for any of the developers to build and release games direct to clients.

It allowed button-push building of any of the company’s projects – so long as they had Ant build files – creating final build products which could then be published to clients or internal staff to review before finally being published to a live server.

It was built using a combination of Cruise Control, Ant and PHP webservers using XML-RPC.

At the time I left, it was being used to publish SWFs, AIR applications, Mac Apps, Windows EXEs, SCORM packages and web archives.
