Stuart Black joins City Interactive

Stuart Black has joined London studio City Interactive following his unexpected departure from fellow UK developer Codemasters.

Black was on the lead creative team of Criterion’s 2006 FPS project, also named Black. Later he emerged at Codemasters, working on a new IP altogether – the FPS Bodycount.

Develop understands that Black’s departure from Codemasters was, though amicable, due to an unremitting workload that kept the creative designer in the office at unsociable hours.

For the full story, head over to Develop.
