Chris Tremmel made his name as one of the creators of the classic 16-bit platformer Boogerman, a game that thrived during the gross-out humor craze of the ’90s. Now Tremmel has joined mobile game studio Jam City as a studio creative director.

Tremmel has had a long career. After Boogerman, he went on to work at companies like Electronic Arts and Activision, working on licensed games based on huge media properties like The Lord of the Rings and Transformers. Jam City itself has a reputation for working on licensed games, notably with Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery.
