据了解,在进军社交游戏领域之前,福克斯曾带领iWin公司推出了《宝石探秘》(Jewel Quest)等游戏作品。

虽然福克斯在Digital Chocolate的职能定位未明,但很有可能协助该公司首席执行官Trip Hawkins共同引导Digital Chocolate从单纯的手机游戏发行商角色转型,实现更大的事业抱负。

福克斯在博客中提到,Trip Hawkins对这一新职位的描述是:这一人事任命并不仅仅关系到公司社交游戏的巩固和发展,而且还有长远打算,考虑建立一个更大的、并且可以让社交网站、智能手机、电视和更广阔的互联网之间无缝对接的商业模式,让游戏玩法更加全球化、更有深度。

尽管Digital Chocolate的游戏仍然活跃于iPhone和其他手机平台,但在过去12至18个月中,该公司的Facebook游戏发展也很迅速。

福克斯将协助Digital Chocolate执行下一个发展战略,Hawkins在博客中写道,游戏行业的未来走向是跨平台,跨地域,以虚拟商品交易为主的免费社交游戏,希望福克斯对我们的这一发展计划有所帮助。(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译)

Digital Chocolate hires iWin co-founder David Fox

Digital Chocolate has announced that David Fox has joined the company in a vice president role.

Fox was one of the co-founders of casual games firm iWin, helping to build franchises like Jewel Quest, before piloting the company’s move into social games.

While his exact role is unclear at this point, it seems he’ll be helping DChoc CEO Trip Hawkins on the next stage of his company’s evolution from mobile games publisher to something more ambitious.

Or, as Fox puts it on his blog, describing Hawkins’ sales pitch for the new job:

“A story that involved not just entrenching and building off their social game momentum but pulling back a bit, looking future-ward, and thinking through  bigger, badder, gapless ways that social networks, smartphones, TV, and the wider web itself can work in concert to give the world broader connected gameplay and deeper story.”

While still active in iPhone and other mobile devices, Digital Chocolate has grown its Facebook games business fast in the last 12-18 months.

Fox will be part of the next push. “We expect him to be instrumental in our push towards the destiny of the game industry: cross-platform, cross-region, interoperable social games that are free to play with virtual goods,” blogs Hawkins.(source:mobile-ent)
