Farewell to Maxis employee ‘Caryl Shaw’ It saddens me having to report that long-time Maxis employee and friend* Caryl Shaw has moved on from EA.** Caryl has always been one of my most favorite people to deal with and was always kind and took a moment to listen when I had to contact her for various reasons (although I tried my best to not bug her much because I make it a high priority not to contact unless I have something absolutely important to bring).* Not only that, but in person she is an entertaining and very outstanding speaker. If your a long time Maxis fan, then you may remember her as MaxisLucky.* I first met her over at the official Sims 1 forums (actually, many of us did).* She helped with the management of the official site, as well as launching The Sims 2 website when the hit sequel was released.* Her list of games include The Sims SuperStar, Makin’ Magic, SimCity 4 Rush Hour, The Urbz, The Sims 2 (and up to Open for Business if I recall correctly) then onto Spore (Senior Producer and manager of the Web Development Team) She will still be with us in the game industry though, so not all is lost!* We can now follow her progress with ngmoco, a developer for the iPhone and iPod Touch.* I can’t wait to see what her first project will be!* Best of luck with your new job, Caryl.* Readers, if you remember her from past games or would just like to share your farewell wishes, please leave them in the comments.* She may end up reading this Share and Enjoy: Related posts: Aussies: Spore Producer Caryl Shaw at the “Game On Night” in Queensland, Dec. 5 Caryl Shaw to present at GDC 2009 NYC Comic Con 2009 – EA interviews Caryl Shaw
