9 ELTANIN CASCIANI is now the community manager at Sumo Leamington. They were previously the community and communications lead at Junkfish. Before that they were working over at Frontier as the primary on Planet Zoo, as well as assisting on Planet Coaster and Jurassic World Evolution 2. They are also a nonbinary advocate for the games industry.
10 Meanwhile, at Atomhawk, SARAH TEH has joined the team as a UI/UX artist. She has previously worked as a freelancer in the same role for Cactus Jam Games, as well as as a product designer for Xero. She’s also the founder of small indie developer Wombok Games, and describes herself as ‘passionate about crafting delightful, interactive experiences’, so she seems like a good get.
11 MARCELO PINHEIRO is also now at Atomhawk, joining the squad as a senior 3D artist. He specialises in characters and their creation, and works on them from first sketch to final render. In previous roles he has worked primarily on models for TV and in collectibles figures, and this is his first foray into a big games company.
12 GEORGIA MAY SIGSTON has taken on a mission at Secret Mode as its community content executive. It’s her first job in video games, but she was previously working as both a barista and a content creator part time for the last six years. She has a degree in creative media and film, and a masters degree in AI, which also means that if Secret Mode ever decides to publish a The Terminator game, they’ve got a perfect marketing opportunity lined up already.
13 RHEYN SCHOLTZ is now an experienced programmer at Sumo Warrington, using his programming know-how to the studio’s benefit on an unannounced game. He spent the last three years at Rebellion North, working on console ports and some of their other secret projects. How mysterious!
