"After getting all BFF with fellow developer Bethesda, Quake Wars dev, Splash Damage, has begun to ramp up for its "genre defining" multi-platform project, announcing the appointment of four industry vets to its team.
Among the company's new hires are Rainbow Six: Vegas' Olivier Leonardi as art director; Burnout Paradise's Chris Sweetman as audio director; Mass Effect's Tim Appleby as the project's lead character artist; and Driver: Parallel Lines' Chris Dawson as producer. The company still plans to double the size of its current team to more than 60 staff as a result of the project, which to this point remains a mystery. However, with Sweetman and creative director Paul Wedgwood both taking to the stage next week at Develop 2008, perhaps it won't be long before we find out just what these folks are up to."
Sounds cool, but I only count three industry vets. Who's this Tim Appleby fool?

WTG Spacemonkey!
When I read the topic, I wondered who whe hired without me noticing it ...
pretty old news
Its sad to see ya leave Bioware, but you gotta do what you gotta do!
*a dissatisfied customer*
Oh yeah and congrats Spacemonkey!
Oh, good job monkey.
It's cool though, Chris Sweetman was audio guy on Black, which although a straightforward shooter with lots of guns, if anyone has played it, they should know it had awesome sounds.
that Tim guy is such a hack though...
Oh, and just for laughs, here's our Staff Interview page. There's 4 polycounters on there (spacemonkey, Tully, katzeimsack and myself), but all the others are a good read too, some of them are really funny! Even if you don't like reading, they are pretty good
(also contains scariest picture of Tim ever)
