Welcome Our New Marketing Director, Becky!
A few weeks ago Becky joined the team at Fire Hose Games as our new Director of Marketing. She is a veteran in the game industry, working at studios such as Tencent, Riot, and 3D Realms. She’s been busy behind the scenes helping the team on Techtonica with its future marketing efforts and working closely with Lauren to learn about our community.
Soon, she’ll be hopping on a livestream with Lauren and answering your questions!
What is your favorite game, and why is it Techtonica?
I grew up playing strategy and simulation games like StarCraft, Age of Empires, and any Sim game I could get my hands on. I also played a lot of sci-fi themed action games, such as Solar Winds, Delta V, Robot City, and Half Life. Combining sci-fi and strategy/simulation into one, I absolutely fell in love with Techtonica.
Okay, seriously, do you have a favorite game or genre?
It's hard to choose a single favorite game or genre. I love survival horror games like 7 Days to Die, Left 4 Dead, and Killing Floor, but I also love RPGs like Baldur's Gate, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, and the Yakuza series. I'm also horribly addicted to simulation games like Anno and Stardew Valley. :)
What’s the most interesting game you’ve played recently?
The most interesting game I've played recently is Baldur's Gate 3. I loved playing Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 back in the late 90s/early 2000s. I loved Larian Studios' additions to the Divinity games - so I was happy to hear it was them doing the latest game in the series. They did a fantastic job with Baldur's Gate 3, and I loved all the small details and easter eggs they put into the game. I put well over 100+ hours into it.
How did you hear about Fire Hose Games? What made you apply for this gig?
I've known some of the folks at Fire Hose Games since the early 2010s. I used to work at Tencent Boston and was very active in the Boston game studio scene before I moved away. I've had great respect for the studio for years, so I was really grateful to be able to jump at the opportunity to work with them.
What are you excited for with the future of Techtonica?
The team at Fire Hose is incredibly passionate about their work and the narrative behind Techtonica. I’m really excited to share future game updates with the community and hopefully become better at laser games!
How do you spend your free time when you’re not gaming?
If I’m not gaming, you can usually find me working on my car or at the car track with my Supra. Additionally, I enjoy doing outdoorsy activities such as hiking or fishing. I also spend a lot of time with my obnoxiously derpy German Shepherd named Bandit.

We're very excited to have Becky on the team! Make sure to give her a big welcome!
