MUMBAI: Sony Pictures Television International (SPTI) has appointed Spencer Hunt to the newly-created position of VP of game production and digital product development.

Based at SPTI’s headquarters in Culver City, California, Hunt will report to SPTI EVP of programming and production (international networks) Marie Jacobson.

 

Hunt is responsible for developing and implementing SPTI’s games strategy, supporting key studio tentpole products with mobile and online games, and developing game-derivative video content for multiple screens.

He manages the development and production of a comprehensive slate of games in line with SPTI’s strategy to deploy a wide range of high-quality mobile games across multiple carriers throughout the competitive global marketplace. International mobile gaming business activities were previously a segment of SPTI’s broader digital content development initiative.

 
Jacobson says, "The worldwide opportunities in the gaming sector have grown exponentially in the last two years. This expansion of our executive team reflects the continued importance we’re assigning to gaming extensions of key studio brands. Spencer has been a true pioneer in this space, and he brings the vital combination of creative direction, project management and production expertise that comes from making countless commercial and critically acclaimed games across mobile, on-line and console platforms."

Hunt was previously the executive director of production for Sony Online Entertainment and Sony Pictures Digital, where he was instrumental in the development of the God of War: Betrayal mobile game, and the 2005 Mobile Game of the Year, Ratchet and Clank: Going Mobile.

Hunt has shipped more than 35 games for platforms including PS3, mobile, PC, Blu-ray, PS2 and Xbox.
