It's been a great week for everybody at 38 Studios! We announced the exciting hire of systems design lead Travis McGeathy, participated in multiple panels at New York Comic Con, and are on the verge of launching a revamped edition of 38Studios.com.

Travis joins us from Sony Online Entertainment, where as EverQuest's lead designer he was responsible for overall creative direction. Travis adds further depth to our amazingly talented design team, strengthening their drive and determination with his years of experience.

Also this week, Ten Ton Hammer hosted two panels featuring 38 Studios at the 2008 New York Comic Con on April 20. The first, entitled "Creating the Online Entertainment Experience™ : Year One," featured our own Scott Cuthbertson, Steve Danuser, Rich Gallup, and Jeff Murchie sharing stories, photos, and videos to a large audience. Immediately afterward, Scott joined an MMOG industry roundtable discussion with representatives from EA Mythic, Funcom, Turbine. Thanks to all who attended!

In other news, the web crew is putting the finishing touches on a shiny new version of 38Studios.com. To keep you busy until it's ready, look below for links to news coverage of Travis's hiring and our trip to New York Comic Con.
