Slade Anderson’s Summary

Started in the Video Game Industry in 1993 as Technical Support Manager at Accolade. Worked my way up to Producer and was Producer/Designer on Test Drive 4, Test Drive 5 and Test Drive 6. Started the TransWorld brand at Infogrames/Atari after Accolade was bought by Infogrames/Atari. I was with Accolade/Infogrames for eight years.

After Infogrames moved to Santa Monica, I took on the roll of Executive Producer for a small UK developer, DarkBlack where I worked on a few titles before we committed suicide by boarding the good ship Acclaim. Was Producer at Empire Interactive where I oversaw the US launches of Big Mutha Truckers, Ghost Master and Starsky & Hutch. After Empire, signed on as Senior Producer at Tapwave where I helped launch Madden 2005 and MTX Mototrax. I also worked as Release Engineer for all titles and helped in the writing of game manuals.

After Tapwave, I signed on as Producer at InfoSpace. At InfoSpace I oversaw the production of Water Balloon Drop, Frogger For Prizes, Skeeball For Prizes and started the development of Take Yer Meds for Prizes. I built the art staff from the ground up in the San Mateo studio and was acting Art Director. I also oversaw the creation of InfoSpace Mobiles viral marketing programs, Tell-a-Friend and Frequent Player Points.

After a short stint at a Limelife, I became Senior Producer at TikGames, LLC. At TikGames I designed and produced Mobile, PC Casual, XBLA, PSN and Wii games. On many of these games I was also the lead writer. The PC games I worked on in particular were reviewed very well by various gaming sites.

I am now Senior Producer at Namco Networks America Inc. working on Casual and Online community games.

Having been in the Game Industry for sixteen years now I am very familiar with the processes of each department in a video game company.
