The Princess and the Frog

The Princess and the Frog is a Wii and PC game based on the Disney movie released Fall 2009. I was contracted by Amaze Entertainment to author the high level design for the Wii product, which later spawned the PC sku. I served as the Lead Designer until the internal team was staffed up.

The Outfit

The Outfit was THQ’s first Xbox 360 game and Relic’s first console game. I was the lead internal Producer, from concept to completion, managing a team of nearly 100 development staff. The Outfit is a third person, squad-based action game with the strategic depth of a ground-based RTS.

It seemed to make sense to launch a Facebook page for our company since we do so much social games work. Not much there yet, aside from a big list of all the projects we’ve worked on (which I’ll reprint here soon), but click the Like button embedded below to show your support and keep up to date with us, if you’re so inclined.

Thanks!

Speaking and Working at Casual Connect

15.07.2010 0

A bit late on this update, but if anyone would like to “connect” at Casual Connect 2010, I will be in Seattle all week.

Here is what I’m up to:

  • Speaking at a roundtable on third party development issues at the Gamesauce event on Monday
  • Organizing a partnering event for a provincial interactive agency later in the week (pairing up developers in the social/casual/iPhone sectors with leaders in those sectors)
  • Doing business development work for one of my clients (a large consumer electronics company) – scouting out talented games content partners
  • Producing a post-show report for a multinational, multiplatform games client
  • Taking any meetings that come my way!

  • Please drop me a line using the contact form on this site if you’d like to get together during Casual Connect!
