Executive producer latest to leave Journey developer

Robin Hunicke leaves Thatgamecompany

Robin Hunicke has announced she is stepping down from her position as executive producer at Thatgamecompany.

Hunicke is just the latest to leave the studio, with Gamasutra reporting that Chris Bell, John Nesky, and Kellee Santiago are also departing after the successful launch of their latest game, Journey.

She is joining Tiny Speck’s San Francisco office in the role of "executive design wrangler" where Hunicke will work on their casual MMORPG Glitch.

Journey was an immediate critical success, and has now become the PlayStation Networks’s fastest selling game ever in the U.S.
