Zipline Games, the mobile developer behind the Moai platform, announced an important new addition to its staff earlier today.
Former Microsoft Game Studios VP Shane Kim will now be part of Zipline’s board of directors. He was in charge of Microsoft’s Xbox games development until 2009, where he managed projects such as Halo and Gears of War.
Todd Hooper, CEO of Zipline Games, expressed how valuable an addition Kim will be to his company’s team.
"Shane has very deep experience working with AAA development studios and a world-class online gaming service," he said. "Shane’s knowledge, advice and help will be invaluable as we enhance the Moai platform and partner with more and more game studios."
Crimson, the first project under Bungie Aerospace, is being developed on the Moai platform. Perhaps more mobile game developers will look to Moai now that Kim is working with Zipline Games.
