Team Profile: Dennis Adams

Cryptic Studios has updated the official site for Champions Online with a profile of associate producer Dennis Adams.

Q: What do you do on Champions Online?
A: I'm an associate producer, which means I have the pleasure of managing the art team and designers on Champions Online – the concept artists, character modelers, animators, FX artists, powers and combat designers all fall under my jurisdiction. When you're entrusted with managing a talented group of folks like the ones we have here at Cryptic, it starts to feel less like work, and a lot more like a golden opportunity.

Q: How long have you worked in gaming, and what did you do before working on Champions Online?
A: I'm relatively new to the gaming industry. I spent five years working as an animation production supervisor at Walt Disney Studios, followed by a gig on The Simpsons Movie; all the while dreaming of "making videogames." I eventually got my break a little over a year ago after landing a job at a small game studio in San Francisco working on Star Trek Online. I then moved to Cryptic in February, and I love every minute of it.
