Blumhouse Games hires veterans from Private Division and Sledgehammer
01.12.2023 - 18:16 / gamedeveloper.com / Private Division
Blumhouse Games has hired industry veterans Jo Lammert and Clint Brewer to help it carve out a space in the spooky corner of the video game industry.
Lammert previously worked on Rollerdrome, The Outer Worlds, and OlliOlli World as director of release management at publisher Private Division, and has been named production lead at Blumhouse.
"Throughout my career I've been passionate about helping game developers bring their creative visions to life, and it's an honor to work with so many amazing talents doing just that in indie-scoped horror at Blumhouse Games," said Lammert in a press release.
Brewer will serve as Blumhouse Games' new technical director and has over two decades' of experience working in engineering roles at EA, Oculus, Activision, Nvidia, and more.
Blumhouse Games president Zach Wood said the new hires will help its partners realize their creative visions. "Together, we are working to build incredible new experiences in the horror genre and look forward to revealing more details soon," added Wood.
The studio was formed earlier this year with the intention of helping Indies bring original horror titles to consoles, PC, and mobile platforms. Blumhouse Games is targeting projects with budgets of under $10 million to "enable innovation and pushing creative boundaries."
Back in September, the studio brought in journalist Louise Blain to help realize that vision as its new creative lead.
Blumhouse has prior experience working on game-adjacent projects and recently helped adapt horror title Five Nights at Freddy's for the silver screen. The flick subsequently became the production company's highest-grossing movie at the global box office after pulling in almost $300 million.

Disney games boss acknowledges 'a lot of demand' for Knights of the Old Republic remake, giving me my first spark of hope for the project in ages
Games industry head honchos have all gotten into the same hobby recently: Refusing to say anything about the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake that got revealed at a PlayStation showcase all the way back in September 2021. It just seems that no one at any of the corporations supposedly involved—Sony, Disney, and Embracer Group—wants to talk about it ever since trouble cropped up at the remake's original developer Aspyr.

Morbidcore indie games deliver traumatic, personal diaries most games veer away from
“Morbidcore” isn’t an established subgenre, but it’s not hard to imagine what falls into this category. These are games exploring life’s darker moments. Not for the sake of simply disturbing an audience, but instead, they’re stories communicating the more unsettling aspects of humanity — the parts we shy away from or refuse to acknowledge.
