Hamburg studio recruits former collaborators

Fishlabs hires three Anima Entertainment founders for senior roles
Hamburg-based developer Fishlabs Entertainment has hired three new senior team members – all of whom join Fishlabs from the company they founded, Anima Entertainment.

Hans Hamm, Nicolas Born, and Tobias Weber join Fishlabs as senior engine and tools engineer, lead game designer, and senior producer respectively.

This won't mark the first time that the trio have worked with Fishlabs.

Anima and Fishlabs previously collaborated on projects such as Volkswagen Golf GTI 35 and Earth Defender.

Valuable additions

"Due to our successful cooperation in the past, we already know Hans, Nicolas and Tobias as skilled and committed partners, who not only have a lot of talent and work experience, but also a true passion for games," explained Fishlabs Entertainment CEO Michael Schade.

"At Fishlabs all three of them will be hired as seniors or leads in their respective fields of expertise," he continued.

"We're sure that every one of them will be a valuable addition to our team and a tremendous help in the realisation of our upcoming projects, such as the development of our first multiplayer title, the expansion of our highly successful brand game business and, of course, the advancement of the Galaxy on Fire series."
