James Vaughan has been promoted to Head of Games Development and Inventor Relations at Big Potato.
“I’m super excited to be stepping into this new role, because the best part about working at a games company is… you guessed it — the games!” said Vaughan.
“Since our early days, game development has always been a job for the copywriters. However, now that Big Potato is a little bigger, it made sense to split things up a bit.
“From now on, I’ll be spending my time making sure that Big Potato continues to put out distinctive, stand-out games. That means easy-to-understand rules, plenty of player interaction and lots of laugh-out-lout moments. So, if you’ve got a game that ticks those boxes, you know what to do!”
