[drupal=925]Ninja Theory’s Lead Gameplay Programmer Appointed SD Technical Director[/drupal]


We’re excited to announce that Mark Fascia, Lead Gameplay Programmer on the critically acclaimed Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, is now Splash Damage’s Technical Director. Marc will be overseeing our programming teams and guide all of our technology efforts.
This is what Splash Damage’s CEO Paul Wedgwood had to say about Marc’s appointment:
We’re hugely impressed by Marc’s combination of insane technical ability and project management skills. In particular its Marc’s obsession with fun gameplay and his personable nature that makes him the perfect person to lead our army of awesome programmers.
For more information, including Marc’s background in the industry and a bonus quote, check out the official press release.
Finally, if you missed our other big staffing announcement last week, FIFA’s ex-development director Griff Jenkins has taken up the role of Director of Production here at Splash Damage. Full details on that over here.

Welcome Marc :slight_smile:
Again no mention of a suitable nickname, you should really add that as a primary requirement for new employees >.<

For some reason I keep reading Farcia, so I suggest you go with that :smiley:

Isn’t it much more fun if the community gets to pick nicknames for those that haven’t settled on one? :smiley:

Enslaved was such a good game in the first few minutes. Most awesome! Unfortunately it became repetitive and hence boring level by level. All the levels looked and played the same. Just like it is in Brink. I do hope that there’ll be variety in the next games.

First few minutes in Brinks were awesome as well though. The first few.

Welcome a board Mark Fascia, keep your life-buoy close, sharpen your pencil, someday we may need you to walk the plank… until that day, drink, dream high and tell us your Odyssey.
