Tara Clover Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Phoenix, AZ December 1st, 2006 – Grey Dog Software, LLC today announced that Brian Nichols has joined the company as Lead Basketball Developer. Brian brings six years of gaming experience and insight to Grey Dog. “Grey Dog Software is very excited have a developer with the credentials of Brian Nichols joining the team,” said Arlie Rahn, CEO. “He has a strong track record of addicting games with outstanding customer service. We hope to help him continue to improve the Fast Break line of products with our services, marketing and existing infrastructure.” Previously, Brian was CEO and lead developer for Fast Break Basketball (FBB) and Fast Break College Basketball (FBCB), releasing his first game in 2001. In 2002, he was the main developer for the published Season Ticket Basketball ([url]http://www.seasonticketbasketball)[/url]. Brian and his titles, FBB and FBCB, still maintain an extremely loyal fan base. “This is a great chance to return to the programming world with the support of the great people at Grey Dog. I’ve been happy with my previous efforts while working alone, but there wasn’t always enough time to get everything done that I wanted. Having the ability to spend more of my time coding will give me a chance to accomplish more of what I hope to add in future releases,” states Brian Nichols. ### Welcome Brian! It is great to have you a part of our team. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sovereignstar Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Awesome. Could've sworn that the first iteration of FBB was released in late 2000 though. I'll be the first to say it. Please do not mess with your simplistic user interface too much, Brian. It's one thing that puts your games above the rest. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druez Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Sweet. I loved FBCB. It was my favorite basketball game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappyboy Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Bravura to Grey Dog on such a strong signing. Haven't played any of Brian's games yet. But Season Ticket is one of those games I tend to flirt regularly with buying whenever I see it at closeout places like Big Lots. To get a developer whose work has seen store space is a coup for a company like Grey Dog. Another feather in a very stylish cap. Now I'm going have to remember to buy Season Ticket Basketball next time I'm at Big Lots. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I really don't know the person, nor I don't play any basketball games (I just play the wrestling games of GDS), but still welcome aboard, and hope you'll like it in GDS :) And I wish you all the best with your future projects :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really looking forward to whatever Brian releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
