Fishlabs strengthens team with web and project manager hires

Best German game studio (according to its national awards) Fishlabs is set for growth in 2012.

Starting the year as it ended the old, it's added two new staff hires.

Maren Nötzelmann (pictured) joins as a producer for the advertising games the company developers for clients such as Barclaycard and VW, for which its recently released Sport Car Challenge has racked up 15 milllion minutes of 'brand engagement'.

She previously worked as a localisation and project manager at games publisher dtp entertainment.

Heading up Fishlabs' web infrastructure to handle what the company refers to as the "implementation of multiplayer gameplay and social features in future Fishlabs releases" will be IT specialist Jannes Gneist.

'With more than 50 million downloads, Fishlabs is the world's leading developer of ad games,' says Michael Schade, Fishlabs' CEO.

The development of such titles, as well as the communication with the clients, becomes more and more challenging and demanding as well. Hence we are glad to have found an experienced project manager with Maren."

"Jannes will be indispensable when it comes to the extension of our online presence, which will serve as the hub for our online gaming community in the not-too-distant future."

Fishlabs is currently working on more games within its Galaxy on Fire universe, including a free-to-play version.
