Midway Games has announced that it has named Harvey Smith the creative director for Midway Studios-Austin. An industry veteran with more than ten years of experience in game design and development, Smith will report directly to Denise Fulton, head of Midway Studios-Austin.

?Harvey brings a wealth of creative and technical expertise to the studio and we are confident that his input at all levels of development will further enhance the quality of our products,? said Fulton.

Smith joins Midway from Ion Storm Austin, where he served as project director on Deus Ex: Invisible War and lead designer on the award-winning, Deus Ex. Prior to joining Ion Storm, he worked at Multitude as the lead designer on Fire Storm, an innovative tactical squad game that was one of the earliest video games to feature voice-communications between players.
