MMOG-meets-casual game developer Ohai gets funding

Fri, Jan 23rd, 2009

Ohai, a company that is trying to combine casual social gaming (Facebook applications) with massive multi-player online games (World of Warcraft), has raised an undisclosed amount from August Capital and Rustic Canyon Partners.

The San Mateo company isn’t saying much more right now, except that it’s hiring engineers. For now, the most notable thing is that it is founded by some well-known name names in traditional and casual game development. Company bios below:

Scott Hartsman, VP Production. Scott has led the production of MMOs that have totaled over $1B in aggregate revenue. He has been a leader in the MMO space since the early Gemstone days. Most recently, he was Executive Producer and Creative Director at Sony Online Entertainment where he led development of projects such as Everquest II and Everquest.

Our system thought this story was mainly about: Executive Producer, Creative Director
