FIRAXIS HIRES THREE ARTISTS (5 June 2000, 12:16 EST) For immediate release: Hunt Valley, Maryland, June 5, 2000 – Following last week’s announcement of the hiring of three programmers, FIRAXIS Games today announced the addition of three more artists to the company, as they continue to expand the organization and ramp up their production teams. With the addition of Marc Hudgins, Dorian Newcomb and Kevin Margo, FIRAXIS now has one of the most diversely talented and experienced art teams in the industry. Marc Hudgins is one of the most experienced artists in the gaming industry. For the last nine years he worked at Sierra On-Line as an animator, Art Director and Designer for games such as The Realm, King’s Quest 7, Quest For Glory 4,Quest For Glory 3, Slater and Charlie Go Camping, EcoQuest 2 and Hoyle Vol. 3. He has focused his career on designing and producing visual elements for computer games and brings a tremendous amount of skill and knowledge to FIRAXIS. Dorian Newcomb is an expert in 3D modeling and animation for interactive software. He’s been in the computer games industry since 1996 working on The Gryphon Tapestry, a massively multi-player role playing game, Orbital, Wayfarer, Semper Fi and Wooden Ships and Iron Men. Dorian has also done 3D modeling and animation for a computer game developed for the United States Marine Corp and an animation depicting submarine warfare for ASTO (Advanced Systems and Technologies Office). Kevin Margo is a recent graduate of the Maryland Institute, College of Art where he’s currently teaching a sculpture class in 3D Studio Max. He earned his place as a permanent member of the FIRAXIS art team through an internship he completed with the company, during which he impressed the team with his amazing work on the map elements for Civilization III. FIRAXIS has just celebrated its fourth year in business and has grown into one of the most creative and successful game development companies in the industry. “In these four years, our vision has not changed. We are committed to producing the most fun, visually exciting games ever made,“ said Jeff Briggs, President and CEO of FIRAXIS Games. “We’re fortunate to have some of the best talent in the industry to help us do that.” Excellent! Btw, can we say some of those map elements for Civ3? :) -MarkG
