“My job there was basically to make gaming on the iOS devices fantastic, basically that meant looking at the technologies involved and making sure the software played well with the hardware, to look at upcoming hardware/API and say ‘Yup, that is a good thing’.”
Reflecting on his decision to leave Apple Graeme comments that were no hard feelings, he simply felt the best place for him in the industry is a place where he can be involved in the development of games.
” I wanted to get back to the actual business of making games and while I loved my time, the people, and the platform I worked on at Apple I am ultimately a game designer that wants to make games”
Graeme has now formed GRL games, his new venture which targets the iOS as a platform for new gaming innovations.
