Planetside Gets New Producer

[Strygun]

Dave Georgeson, former producer of Planetside, announced today that he has moved on to Senior Designer on the Planetside team. The new producer, Dallas Dickinson, who used to be producer of Sony Online's "Station Games", is now in the lead position on the Planetside team. Here's what Dave had to say:

Folks,

It's been a long run for yours truly. I've been a Producer or Director for a decade and a half now, working as a troubleshooter on projects that needed help and jumping from fire to fire (hence the name "SmokeJumper" since I too "fight fires" for a living). It's time to pass the reins to a fresh rider and take a break from the constant stress of the job of Producer.

PlanetSide is the biggest, baddest game I've ever had the privilege to work on ... and it's going to keep going for quite some time. So I'm taking the chance to move from being the Producer to becoming a full-time Senior Designer on the team. Dallas Dickinson is taking my place as Producer while I work more closely with Kevin McCann, Terrence Yee, and the rest of the Design team to create new features for PlanetSide as well as to continuously hone the existing game according to feedback we gain from you folks and the data we gather from our databases.

Dallas has been running the show for the last three or four weeks while I transitioned to the San Diego office and got settled in with the design team and it's gone very smoothly. The team is in high spirits and we're working on some fantastic stuff that will show up in the coming months. I'll let others reveal the things that the Design team is secretly working on now...but it's good stuff. You'll see.

Until the next time, have fun with the game, and remember to enjoy life. See you on Auraxis.

-- Dave.
