At ItThynk Gaming and Disputed People Games Studio, we are constantly evolving, and with growth comes both goodbyes and fresh beginnings. This month, we bid farewell to our Analytics, Research, and QA guru, Mashilo, who will be embarking on an exciting new journey at Standard Bank in a lucrative role. Mashilo has been instrumental in refining our processes, ensuring the quality of our games, and pushing our research capabilities forward. We thank him for his dedication and contributions and wish him the very best in his next adventure!

Catch his radio interview with Nico Kekane on YouTube as he touches on his new venture and his journey here at ItThynk Gaming:

While we say goodbye to one talent, we also extend a warm welcome to another. Rodwin Malinga joins us as our new Lead Designer, bringing a wealth of experience in game and level design. With a background in programming, digital art, animation, UI/UX, and immersive gameplay experiences, Rodwin has honed his skills at Nyamakop, an indie game studio known for its innovative approach to game development.

A Wits Digital Arts alumnus, Rodwin has also served as a university tutor, mentoring the next generation of game designers while pursuing his Master’s in Digital Arts. His expertise spans Unreal Engine, Unity, VFX development, and 3D modeling, making him a valuable asset in shaping the next wave of prototypes and titles at ItThynk Gaming and Disputed People Studios.

Rodwin’s creative vision, technical prowess, and passion for crafting unique gaming experiences align perfectly with our mission. We look forward to seeing how he elevates our projects and injects fresh energy into our studio.

Welcome aboard, Rodwin, and best wishes to Mashilo!

Stay tuned for more updates on our exciting new developments.
