Blitz Appoints Development Manager

by Thomas on Feb. 11, 2003 @ 9:45 a.m. PST

Midlands developer Blitz Games has made a new appointment this month, promoting Project Manager Darren Wood to the newly created role of Development Manager. This new role will be to assist and support the Chief Technical Officer and to oversee the development of all the company's projects, working closely with each of the development teams. He will report directly to the company's four directors. This will leave CTO Andrew Oliver to focus on the strategic progression of the company's development tools and services, including its out-sourcing policy.

Darren has been with Blitz since 1995 and has project managed a number of the company's most succesful titles including Glover, Chicken Run, Frogger 2, Fuzion Frenzy and, most recently, Zapper. Co-founder and Chief Technical Officer Andrew Oliver is pleased with the new appointment: "Darren has a wealth of industry experience and over seven years at Blitz. We're confident that he will continue to be a great asset to the company as he moves into this important new role".

Blitz are currently celebrating a successful Christmas with the release of their Warner Bros adventure Taz: Wanted, Disney's Lilo & Stitch: Trouble in Paradise and the US release of original title Zapper. The first quarter of 2003 will see the release of Cubix: Showdown (based on the hit TV series) and the European release of Zapper.
