Scottish studio One Thumb Mobile is expanding.

No twiddling

Animator Andrew Brunton has over 12 years experience including time spent working on the Fable franchise at Lionhead, while character artist Mattia Poderi joins from Bigpoint.

"2013 has been an incredible year for us so far, the continued success of Celtic Heroes has allowed us to build the studio and attract experienced and fabulously talented individuals such as Andrew, Chantal and Mattia," said One Thumb Mobile founder Richard Hasinski.

"All three individuals share our passion to create world beating 3D MMOs for mobile and we welcome them to the team."
