Who is this man? It's <a href="http://www.champions-online.com/articles/meet_dennis_associate_producer_of_champions_online">Dennis Adams</a> and we have to say he seems like a very cool-headed cat.<br /><br />With a mind for art, Dennis got his start as an animation production supervisor for Walt Disney Studios. He spent five years there before getting a gig on <em>The Simpsons Movie</em>. Dennis finally made his dream-breakthrough into the videogame industry with <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/perpetual-entertainment/">Perpetual Entertainment</a>, the then-developer of <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/star-trek-online/">Star Trek Online</a></em>. Of course, we all know <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2007/11/26/perpetual-disbanding-sto-in-jeopardy/">how that unfortunate ship sailed.</a> Not all was lost, however, as Dennis found a home at Cryptic Studios and is working diligently to bring all of our super-powered dreams to life. When asked to give his advice for anyone wanting to break into the industry his response was, <em>"Love the craft -- you owe it to the gaming community."</em> We always appreciate <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/05/24/rethinking-archetypes-in-champions-online/">an impassioned videogame developer</a>. So hats off to you, Dennis.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/05/28/the-twisting-tale-of-champions-onlines-dennis-adams/">The twisting tale of Champions Online's Dennis Adams</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 28 May 2008 17:30:00 EST.
