CHARLOTTE NANGLE joined Develop in 2014 as a sales exec, soon moving on to the role of Account Manager on both Develop and MCV. She left in 2017 to join Chris Dring and James Batchelor at Gamer Network, where she stayed until 2021. Since then she has worked in-house at Dlala Studios and has recently rejoined the team at Neonhive for a second time; where
she is currently Marketing and Development manager.
Board games are what MATT JARVIS is all about these days, as the editor-in-chief of Dicebreaker, and before that, the editor of Tabletop Gaming magazine. Just when he was getting started in his editorial career however, he served for 18 months as MCV staff writer, becoming senior staff writer for Develop in December 2015.
Taking over from Matt Jarvis as MCV staff writer at the tail end of Chris Dring’s editorship, MARIE DEALESSANDRI’s time on the magazine saw great changes, not least during a two-year period that saw the mag change schedule and ownership not once but twice. In the month that MCV became MCV/DEVELOP, Marie joined
GamesIndustry.biz, where she is currently the deputy editor.
SETH BARTON was the last editor of MCV as-was and first of MCV/ DEVELOP, joining the crew in November 2016 and helming the rebranded ship through some rather choppy waters, first as the magazine went fortnightly, then monthly. He served three different owners, ensured the survival of the magazine during covid and left – no doubt a bit seasick – after five years of service, joining PlayStation London to manage UX writing.
Currently the editor-in-chief of Rock Paper Shotgun, KATHARINE CASTLE joined the MCV team at the same time as editor Seth Barton (having previously worked with him at Dennis Publishing). She remained as news editor for eleven months before becoming hardware editor at RPS just before MCV went monthly at the start of 2018.
JEM ALEXANDER was Develop’s editor from October 2016 until the magazine was closed in December 2017, whereupon he joined the MCV team as it embarked on its new monthly print schedule. He tagged along for a few months before jumping ship to become senior editor at Greenlit Content in July 2018. Jem is currently a senior UX writer at King.
JAKE TUCKER was the editor of the short-lived Esports Pro, which was closed at the end of 2017 when it and Develop were incorporated into the new monthly MCV. He left MCV’s loving embrace in the summer of 2018, eventually to become the commissioning editor at NME where he established the site’s now celebrated games content. He is currently TechRadar Gaming’s editor-in-chief.
Having written for Ginx TV, Destructoid, IGN, GamesTM and MTV, VIKKI BLAKE began an 18-month stint as a news reporter for MCV towards the end of 2018, which ended just as the world was going into lockdown in 2020. Since then she’s had gigs with the BBC and LADbible and continues to write for Eurogamer,
GamesIndustry.biz and NME, among other outlets.
It wasn’t long ago across these pages that we were celebrating CHRIS WALLACE’s new junior PR manager role at Dead Good Media. This came after a period of freelancing for the likes of NME, Rock Paper Shotgun,
GamesIndustry.Biz and VG247. Before then of course, he was MCV/DEVELOP staff writer, joining the team in October 2019 and leaving in May 2022 when he was confident the new editor wasn’t going to break anything.
