The team, Halloween '08.
We are experienced developers who have worked together for years on top titles, with a track record of delivering to aggressive deadlines. We are experienced with needs of licensed titles including movie and other media properties. Most importantly we enjoy the process of collaboration with other teams, the publisher and licensor, to make a fun game that will delight the player and build the entertainment brand.

Tobi Saulnier - Founder and CEO
Tobi oversees company operations and all aspects of product development at 1st Playable Productions. A veteran of both handheld and console games, she sees handheld game development as offering a unique blend of challenging hardware and fast pace, that complements the creative culture of a small independent studio. Prior to founding 1st Playable, she spent five years overseeing product development at Vicarious Visions, a role in which she was responsible for delivering over 60 game titles ranging from Blues Clues GBC to Doom III Xbox, including launch titles for the GBA, DS and PSP. Before joining the game industry, Tobi managed R&D in embedded and distributed systems at General Electric Research and Development, where she also led initiatives in new product development, software quality, business strategy, and outsourcing. She earned her BS, MS, and PhD in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Design Team. Our designers share a commitment to high quality games for kids, either for educational or kid-centric entertainment. Whether we start with a brand or design goal, we identify game mechanics that meet the needs of the audience and brand. We're always looking for a way to create a new and differentiated play experience. Proven playtesting techniques are used to tune the end product's fun factor and accessibility.

Programming Team. Our programmers have a breadth of experience in handheld platforms and game genres. Experts at juggling the constraints of embedded platforms, they enable our designers and artists to achieve the creative vision for each game, while keeping an eye to the schedule. We have experts in graphics, AI, networking and of course ever popular assembly coding!

Art Team. Our artists excel at creating high production value art optimized for handheld platforms. Our preproduction and review process ensures that the art style fits the license and fully utilizes the platform capabilities. Our artists have a range of abilities that adapt to the needs of our frequently hybrid 2D/3D games. We have the ability to create new art styles as well as stay on model for existing brands.
