It’s a big day over at PlayCanvas towers. We have a new programmer. In fact, our first full-time staffer after the founding team.

Vaios
Humouring the idiot with the camera phone

Vaios joins us from sunny Athens, land of gods, fine olive oil and greeks bearing gifts [Best you could come up with!? - Ed]. More importantly he’s got loads of experience writing games and tools for game developers. He spent a number of years working at Sony Computer Entertainment in London on the sadly un-released AAA action title Eight Days, and the ground-breaking console virtual world PlayStation Home. Since then he’s been working another virtual world title in Athens.

Join us in welcoming Vaios on twitter. He’s going to play a big part in helping PlayCanvas become the game development platform of the future.
