Stephen Arnold CEO & Creative Director of Decimated

After an early career in music production and sound design, I started working in the videogames industry in 2008, mainly in outsourcing, co-development and creative production; art, animation, cinematics and VFX for AAA vidogames. My first projects included QA/translation partnerships for games including World of Tanks (Wargaming), Angry Birds (Rovio/Chillingo), Cut the Rope (Zeptolab/Chillingo), Vampire Wars (Zynga) and many more. In 2012, I moved into motion capture and real-time cinematics, learning about all the pipelines for art, animation and cinematics production and working with AAA studios as an external partner. I still do this to this day. In 2014 I set up a team to develop the multiplayer thieves vs guards adventure game “Hide & Shriek Mansion” using Unity 4 (ranked #58 on IndieDB at the time)

I set up Fracture Labs in 2018 to develop the post-apocalyptic multiplayer RPG, Decimated® in Unreal Engine which is scheduled for release in 2022 on PC.

James Deighan, Founder of Mega Cat Studio

Tested entrepreneur and founder of 3 startups. Ambitious and tenacious decision-maker.

I apply myself wholly to any initiative I’m part of and welcome challenges to demonstrate my core competencies. I strive to develop long term relationships with everyone with whom I do business with.

Once I set my mind to something, I set lofty goals and think outside of the box to innovate and execute.

At Mega Cat, getting it right creatively is the guiding principle of our development strategy. We are a creative first development house for high engagement, high-quality gaming experiences.

I champion the opportunities that take the studio to the next level of commercial and critical success. Expect me to deliver audience engagement through game mechanics that bring iconic worlds to life.

My business cards say such things as founder or video game enthusiast. When you get down to it, though, I’m much more. I’m a leader, a technician, a marketer and a teacher. These are the things that I do best, and that I love the most.
