inXile is doing great with recent hires. Some people joined fully team after "testing" phase but here I'll underline three persons which are important for further development of the project;
Steven Parker, former Gaikai Project manager (3y 4m), Senior producer at Blizzard for Diablo 3 (5y 2m), Turtle Rock lead producer on Back 4 Blood (4y 11m), now lead producer at inXile
Matt Amy, former Community Manager at Blizzard (11y 7m) now Community Manager at inXile
Andy Gardner, former programmer at Rockstar San Diego (4y 3m), gameplay Programmer at Ready at Dawn (7y 4m), gameplay programmer at Obsidian (9m)
-------
Ok, now is clear that gameplay/combat (soon to have around 8-10 Senior positions - in class of Sony's Santa Monica Studio) & community departments at inXile are already at the top of the genre, and be sure that hires there are not even close to competition. Even Senior positions are not yet filled.
Game will be huge and reactivity is the key-point with these hires. Another keystone is destruction, but that part will be later filled.
Expect soon other high profile hires (16 positions currently open (ALL SENIOR POSITIONS) , studio is at 100 people right now), some amazing people are in closing interviews stage. At the end of the year there will be over 120 people. Plan is to have two large hiring cycles for needs of this project. (over 200 to 250)
Team will be larger than Playground Games Studio 2 (the one working on Fable).
HR at inXile is doing unprecedented job !
