A New York Times best-selling author, Foster has written several book series, over 20 standalone novels, plus novelisations of movie scripts including Star Wars, Alien, Terminator, Transformers and Star Trek. His agreement with Pomme will see at least 14 of his works to games, including previously published novels and eight unpublished works, released in a series called 'Alan Dean Foster Presents…'.

He is joined by respected Canadian industry exec Jillian Mood who has worked with Canada Game Expo, Ottawa Game Jam, Bendy & the Ink Machine and on over 30 games, who will head up Marketing and HR for the company; plus James Deputy who has project managed many games for Kiss over the 12 years that Still was CEO for the company; and Mateo Młodowski, developer of the hugely successful Pixel Puzzles franchise and Development Director at Sunset Sugar Studios, Pomme's publishing arm.
