Everyone, meet ClownMrMinghui

Minghui has been with us for slightly more than a month now. You may have met him previously at Echelon 2011 (and even plastered a GameMaki sticker on him at the event), or you may have met him lurking around … elsewhere.

Minghui

Minghui joined us as our business developer in early July and is responsible for merchant partnerships. (So, if you happen to be a merchant or brand owner, a certain clown wants to speak to you!) On top of that, he’s been working on some video goodies for GameMaki behind the scenes which will be unveiled in the coming weeks.

More importantly, Minghui’s main expertise is game design, and he’s one of the key players in taking GameMaki’s gamification experience to a new level. There is loads of activity behind the scenes (which are still hush hush I cannot tell you neh neh boo boo for now) with respect to this area, and are based on a number of ideas from the clown himself.

Since his joining us, he’s fit very nicely into the quirky mix of personalities in the GameMaki team, with his trademark exaggerated “Noooooooooooooooooo!” when something goes wrong, and the sight of him sitting in his favourite corner of the office (which he calls his ‘emo corner’) and doodling away on his WACOM. He’s also crazy over strawberries and good food.

Minghui says hello!

Change of booth location at Echelon 2011!

Due to space constraints and some technical issues, we have been relocated to booth #17 for Echelon 2011 (starting tomorrow!) from our previous #15.

We will still be your right when you first walk through the entrance, just a stone’s throw away from Nokia’s booth at the extreme corner along the glass window. It’s easy to spot us, because of our giant live-feed bearing projector screen.

See you in 9 hours!
