Cutting-edge technology firm establishes British base - former EA Criterion man Dunnet in as studio head
Increasingly-popular engine firm Unity Technologies has today announced the official opening of its UK studio.
It's the third office for the firm behind the increasingly popular multi-platform game development tools for PC, Mac, Wii, PS3, Xbox 360 and iPhone.
Unity UK is based in Crawley - chosen given convenient location between UK games dev hubs in London, Brighton and Guildford.
The studio will be headed by former EA/Criterion man Graham Dunnett as director of testing, support and documentation, and plans to support fast-growing userbase.
Dunnett is also actively recruiting to quickly grow the team - they are looking for test, support and development engineers.
He has a strong background in middleware having spent seven years at Criterion where he ran the support team for the RenderWare, the industry’s pioneering middleware technology. He also helped Criterion establish offices in North American and Japan. He spent four years with Electronic Arts after the publisher acquired Criterion.

Just a bit of advice; I've noticed in this country/market, a great developer or editor etc, leaves a company and starts his own studio. Now my point is that I would never let my editors or IT staff run my business; they have special talents that I don't, likd 15 years in the video games, endevouring to use my experienece an talens in a commerially savy way!
They would stuggle doing their best, but they can't understand commerical, sales, buying and business development,, unless they have had effectively relavant experience. So I suggest you seriously consider this; maybe a commerial huy with Sales, buying, marketing. Business development initivies are essential in any business so if possible hire on person with these skils......
Best Wishes to the thoug. I look forward to seeing their ambitous growth :-)
I've been using Unity for a while now and have been blogging on my experience with it (www.marunchak.co.uk). It's a great app but since I'm just a 3D developer and not a pure software engineer, I don't think there's much I'd have to offer the new team. I'm currently working in education and researching how the 3D web will facilitate communication and learning in the near future. If Unity does establish the standard for the 3D web, the sky is the limit.
Good luck guys, and I really mean it. Having come from a background in Director, I can appreciate reliable browser based 3D engines.
If you are looking for more, I might be able to get a few educational establishments interested as this area is quickly coming to the attention of a lot people.
