LucasAnimation in Singapore to develop videogames? 12 Sep, 2004, 22:23 / 5 comments

According to a report that recently showed up on gamesindustry.biz LucasFilm's new Singapore based animation facility may be used for videogame development.
A new job advertisement posted by game publisher LucasArts suggests that the Singapore digital animation studio opened by parent company Lucasfilm earlier this year may be set to focus on videogame work.

LucasArts is currently advertising for a human resources director, who would be required to deal with "heavy travel... to office in Singapore," with the job description implying that over 50 per cent of the new director's time could be spent in the Far East location.
Considering LucasArts current policies on internally developed titles, this may mean some of the crunch work for 3rd party games published by LEC is done out of Singapore.

For more background on the Singapore Animation facility itself, read this LucasFilm press release.

    LucasAnimation , is that a madeup name, or the real company name

    A made up contraction of the actual company division name Lucasfilm Animation.

    I'm thinking this is more likely to be for LucasArts' international stuff more than anything else.
