The pioneer behind seminal titles like System Shock and Deus Ex, Spector is now working on an immersive simulation based on a completely new intellectual property developed by OtherSide.
“It feels great to be working with a talented team on a new title and new IP,” said Spector, the Chief Creative Officer of OtherSide Entertainment. “Fans of my work already know what to expect: an immersive world and engaging narrative that players will directly impact through their choices and playstyles. We are still in early development and are looking forward to sharing more information soon!”
Additionally OtherSide Entertainment appointed veteran game executive Jeff Goodsill as General Manager. In this role, Goodsill will lead the growth of the independent studio and oversee production of upcoming next-gen console and PC titles, including Warren Spector’s next title.
"I am honored to be working with the industry luminaries at OtherSide. Paul, Warren, and their teams have played pivotal roles in creating and advancing the immersive sim genre,” said Jeff Goodsill. “I’m joining a passionate team working on exciting projects and I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish.”
Jeff Goodsill joins OtherSide as General Manager after serving six months as a strategic advisor to the company. A true industry veteran, he previously held senior production and executive roles at Ensemble Studios, Papyrus Design Group, Iron Lore Entertainment and Tencent Boston. Working on iconic franchises including Age of Empires, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, Titan Quest, NASCAR Racing and more, Goodsill has brought to market games that have collectively grossed more than $1 billion in sales.
”Jeff brings a wealth of proven experience managing high-performance development studios. We are thrilled to have him join our executive team,” said OtherSide CEO Paul Neurath.
“As an advisor, Jeff has already made us a more effective development studio,” added Warren Spector, Chief Creative Officer at OtherSide Entertainment. “As a full-time member of the team, he’ll be invaluable in helping us achieve our goal of becoming a top-tier developer of games that empower players to tell their own stories through play.“
