Acting lead
Cédric, our lead programmer, flew to france last week for his vacation. Someone had to fill his role as lead programmer while he is gone and that someone turned out to be me.
It’s quite daunting but sort of fun at the same time. Besides figuring out what I’m supposed to be working on I have to keep track of the other programmers too (not counting the french) and plan out their next tasks. We have a deadline coming up and that means no slacking!
I also have to manage the inhouse releases of the level editor and work more closely with Raymond, our game designer. He’s the first guy to find any bugs and in a sense my job is to shut him up. A quiet game designer is a happy game designer
[Update]
Okay, I might have underestimated this a little bit. Today was a bit more rough and I never like it when I’m unable to deliver. Big props to Ced for helping out over msn XD

I don’t wish I were in your situation though. Having to be the lead-programmer must be tough. Especially if you rather like to be bossed around (like me).
Good luck!
