      Oddworld has mixed a potent brew of Hollywood artistry with rock solid gameplay to produce experiences rich in emotion, empathy and entertainment value. Combined sales of the company's products number almost ten million units and climbing. During my time at company my responsibilities grew as the company did. It was an exciting time in the game industry as we moved from the Genesis/Super Nintendo world into the Playstation/XBOX domain. My job as Producer for the extremely talented team of artists consisted of scheduling deliverables, designing processes for transfer of near film resolution assets to in game art, fostering constructive communication between the art, design and programming, and the delivery of worldwide media and publisher art requests. As the Marketing & Public Relations Director my biggest role was handling worldwide media, publisher and licensing requests. Through negotiated media coverage via a branded press kit sent to all of the interactive media (web and magazine) I was able to secure dozens of magazine covers and articles months ahead of when the game hit the stores. In addition, the characters were licensed to include a #1 Music Video/Single in Germany! The Oddworld games created during my time with the company generated 100 industry awards and sold over 4MM units. Show less
