Anime Alex joins Short Fuze

Please say hi to the newest member of the Moviestorm crew, intern Alex Gowland. (No, not Alex Garland, who wrote The Beach and Sunshine. We can't afford him.) Our Alex is a self-confessed anime freak from Hartlepool with a degree in media production. He's also an artist and designer, and has ambitions to direct a video game that will, in his own words, "dwarf Final Fantasy".

Clearly the boy has talent and ambition, which is why we put him to work in QA. That'll learn him. He'll also be helping Andrew with a super-secret Short Fuze project currently in development, but he's got to take his licks as the QA whipping boy for a while before we let him loose on the fun stuff.

Apparently Alex enjoys cooking as well. That's good. We know who to turn to when we need someone to make late-night Pot Noodles for the dev team.

More new people at Moviestorm

Please join us in welcoming two new members of staff here at Moviestorm Towers.

Paul Kelley is joining Chris in the art team. In the dim and distant past he ran a video games shop, then took time out to travel the world and teach himself to be an artist. He did a stint at Jagex working on Runescape on characters and environments.

Quiz time: One of these is Paul. One of these isn't. You decide...
(There's a really big clue hidden in one of the pictures if you get stuck.)

Dave Holloway is following in the long line of Moviestorm QA staff called Dave. A movie nut with a self-confessed penchant for "everything from the debased to the artistically sublime," he's worked in art, design and QA at a number of games companies, most recently Sony.

Dave won't let us take his photo yet because he wants a haircut first, so we'll post a picture of him later. This'll have to do for now. (We warned you, Dave!)
