VFX Artist. Novelist. Proud father and husband. Card-carrying “Reacher,” “Fallout” and “The Boys” stan. Owner of “three happy dogs and a shady calico cat.” Safe to say Cristian Hriscu-Bade wears many hats, and he wears them well. Recently joining Amazon Games Bucharest, Cristian is a Senior VFX Artist, specializing in show-stopping graphics (explosions, blazing fires) but also subtler forms of eye candy (falling leaves, trickling water). “For the past 28 years, I’ve worked in various areas of game development, including game design, 3D art, level art, lighting and project management. Because I’m artistically oriented, I decided to focus squarely on VFX Field & Lighting.” “Artistically oriented” is putting it mildly: His 2024 novel Wired, co-authored by Lucian Merisca, won the Best Novel of 2024 award at RomCon 2024, Romania’s most prestigious event for sci-fi and fantasy literature. “I consider it a great personal achievement,” he says, and who wouldn’t agree? Welcome to the team, Cristian, we're stoked to have you! Amazon Games Bucharest is growing, explore their open roles: https://lnkd.in/g-P2KPWY #amazongames #gamedev #gameart #VFX #gaming #videogames

"It’s been two weeks since we launched New World: Aeternum on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. We’re so pleased and encouraged by the enthusiastic response from players and critics alike, and it’s been exciting to welcome even more adventurers to the supernatural island of Aeternum. The team put a massive effort into delivering a refined and polished experience while listening to the players to help us prioritize new features, including our first-ever raid, the Hive of the Gorgons, and Cutlass Keys, a free-for-all player-vs-player (PvP) zone. It is gratifying to see the positive response from the community. While we’re still hard at work to ensure the best possible experience for those venturing into Aeternum, I wanted to pause and take a moment to extend a big THANK YOU to the players for making this such a fantastic launch! It’s been a genuine delight to see the rush of adventurers, including returning PC veterans (welcome back!) and brand-new PC players, along with PlayStation and Xbox players joining in on the fun for the first time. Of course, I also have to once again thank the development team for delivering such an ambitious, unified experience to players. I hope you’re as proud of your accomplishments as I am, and that you are relishing the excitement of this launch." Sincerely, Scot L., Game Director, Amazon Games Orange County See more over on the Amazon Games blog: https://lnkd.in/gnmeppqb #amazongames #newworldaeternum #gamedev #gaming #videogames
