Ethan Hicks

Ethan Hicks started at Hi-Rez Studios four years ago as an intern while finishing his Masters in Computer Science. Playing a lot of Paladins college got him interested in working for Hi-Rez, where he has worked on Paladins, Realm Royal, and now Smite 2 as a programmer. He has primarily focused on gameplay and UI coding.

Forrest Raynard

What a long strange trip it has been! This year marks my 10th year in and around the video game industry. I have worked as a Broadcaster, Community Manager, Level designer and now am currently a mid level designer on Smite 2! I have had the pleasure of working on games such as Gigantic, Dreadnaught,  Paladins and now Smite! The Journey getting into the video game industry can often be a winding road full of loops and turns but hopefully I can pass on what knowledge I have for people to start theirs!

Executive Director of the Georgia Game Developers Association and lead producer on Emperor of the Fading Suns Enhanced.
