Two new employees have today joined digital toy company Denki,
thanks to achieving perfect – and in one case, suspiciously perfect
– scores on
www.denkiornot.com.
Games industry veteran Paul Conry - who is 100% Denki - has joined
the company as head of Denki’s new test team. Paul will oversee
test and quality assurance for all of Denki’s current and
forthcoming projects. Paul has worked with games companies including
Mucky Foot, Lionhead, Broadsword Interactive and Realtime Worlds,
for the last three years. His credits include titles such as
Fable, Impossible Mission, Blade 2, Super Fruit
Fall and APB.
Games industry darling, Brian Baglow has done stuff in and around
videogames for some time now. After working in-house for a number of
developers & publishers including DMA Design and Rockstar Games, he
founded and ran communications agency Indoctrimat, created & still
edits Scottishgames.biz, has lectured helpless film production and
screen writing students at Screen Academy and organised the
Edinburgh Interactive Festival’s Screenings programme. Brian will be
working with David Thomson within Denki’s new Awareness team, making
sure the whole wide world knows how lovely and special Denki is.
Brian’s DenkiOrNot score was an astonishing 1500%, which raised
fears of a ‘Kobayashi Maru’ style hacking incident. Brian however,
maintains that he just studied very hard.
Colin Anderson, Denki’s managing director, said “In the current
economic climate, many talented and experienced people are finding
themselves between jobs. By reaching out to the wider gaming and
digital media community and with a fun and insightful tool like
DenkiOrNot, we’re finding people who fit right in with Denki’s
culture, goals and approach to games. We’re building a sanctuary for
talent which will ensure Denki’s capabilities and expertise in the
future – and beyond! We’re thrilled to welcome Paul to the company
and pending another quick look at the whole 1500% Denki thing, we’ll
be delighted to welcome Brian as well.”
Denki is still looking for experienced coders and visual specialists
(or ‘artists’ if you will). If you’d like to experience something
new, different and Denki, then why don’t you try visiting
www.denkiornot.com
and see if you’d enjoy joining in. As reported previously, this
journalist is apparently 80% Denki. |
