Endemol's Good Catch hires Mark Oxenham as head of development
Former virtual reality developer will be leading team in creating both branded games and new IP
Good Catch, the recently-launched games development and publishing arm of Endemol Shine Group, has announced a key new hire.
Mark Oxenham will take on the role of head of development, managing Good Catch's internal developers and overseeing the production of all its products, which are expected to be a mix of new IP and titles based on the Group's brands.
Oxenham previously held the position of lead programmer at Netherlands-based VR Studio, following stints at Codemasters, Kwalee and R3D Pixel. He will report to Good Catch MD Anil Mistry.
"We are really pleased that Mark has decided to join Good Catch and be a key lead figure during our growth for the coming year and beyond," said Mistry in a statement. "His expertise in Unity development and management will help shape the business as we move forward."
Good Catch launched back in August and has already launched mobile game KSI Unleashed, based on the popular YouTuber KSI, with stealth title Black & White Bushido to launch on consoles later this year.
The brands it has access to from the rest of the Endemol group include MasterChef, Big Brother, Deal or No Deal, The Island, Humans and Broadchurch.
