[drupal=923]FIFA’s Ex-Development Director Appointed Splash Damage’s Director of Production[/drupal]


Hot on the heels of Paul’s blog post about what you can expect from us this year, we’ve got our first announcement to make today. We’re delighted to announce that Griff Jenkins has been appointed Splash Damage’s Director of Production and will oversee all of our development efforts. Griff previously spent seven years at Electronic Arts where he led big franchises like FIFA and Need for Speed and managed multiple development teams simultaneously.
Here’s what our fearless CEO Paul Wedgwood had to say about Griff’s appointment:
Following FIFA’s incredible success, Griff’s new role at Splash Damage will be to improve our games by improving the way we make them. Under Griff’s leadership we’ll elevate production to a discipline on par with art, design, and programming. These are areas that we’ve always constantly strived to improve, and production should be no different.
For more details about this appointment and Griff, check out the full press release.

I always wanted to pimp my vehicles in ETQW and play football with the strog team. I am looking forward for a ETQW:Shift release.
GL Griff Jenkins in your future endeavor. Are you somehow related to Leeroy Jenkins? :smiley:

Sorry but he’s not part of the Splash Damage family until he has an online name that will haunt him for the rest of his game development career.

Welcome! :smiley:

People need to learn what the position this guy holds…

Having someone with experience working on some major franchises take this role is a good thing.

You all sound like SD just got bought out by EA or some crap…

Something tells me that a couple weren’t. :slight_smile:

Is he the kind of guy that comes in and fires half of the employees to streamline the production process?

Given the fact that Brink will have brought in a few pennies - I doubt anyone is for the chop :slight_smile: It only tends to happen when things are already going south.

Also, welcome Griffster, and best of luck with the new position :slight_smile:
