Entropia Universe virtual world platform developers MindArk have recently announced the creation of First Planet Company AB to oversee the operation, development and marketing of the MMORPG “Planet Calypso”.
Former CIO of MindArk, Marco Behrmann will take the reigns as CEO and Creative Director at First Planet Company. He started his career with MindArk in 2002 working as a concept writer, game designer, community director and information officer (umm…when does this man sleep?). Prior to MindArk, Behrmann worked with lifestyle magazine Codex in the role of Marketing Director, as well as Lead Designer and PR Manager at the game studio, Computer House. Adding to his credits, Behrmann is also a co-founder of one of Sweden’s most popular tabletop role-playing game studios, Neogames AB. If this wasn’t enough, he’s also authored over 20 books. Again – does this man sleep?
“My vision is to supply the resources needed to allow the creative team the freedom and time to create interesting short- and long-term storylines, enhance and polish game-play, add role-playing aspects, and cater to events,” says Marco Behrmann. “My role and objective is to bring and maintain a coherency to the Planet Calypso history and storyline. We are dedicated to achieving our over-arching goal of making Planet Calypso a truly outstanding Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game.”
The appointment of Behrmann and creation of First Planet Company AB is a win-win situation for MindArk. This new company will allow Behrmann and his team to focus solely on the development of the end-user experience for MindArk’s popular Planet Calypso MMO, while at the same time MindArk itself now has a new source of available resources that can be dedicated solely to the development of the award winning 3D online virtual universe.
