Developer Distinctive Developments (Michael Vaughan Cricket 07/08, Namco Arcade Golf) is to expand with the creation of a post-production studio based in Gliwice, Poland. The new office is to provide Distinctive with "a dedicated post-production facility within the rapidly evolving European market" following the creation of Distinctive's North American office in 2007.

Distinctive is headquartered in Sheffield, UK.

The creation of the new office is part of Distinctive's investment into its post-production capabilities, with the intention of building a reputation as a "capable and expert porting/post-production partner," working with partners including Namco and EA.
Johanna Vuorela, Distinctive's newly appointed Operations Manager is to oversee the new studio and Distinctive's global post-production operations. The Head of Studio in Poland is Wojciech Golowkow, who has worked with Distinctive on numerous projects over the past three years.

"The creation of the new studio is part of Distinctive's ongoing strategy to create world class post-production services," said Johanna. "The new studio provides the company with the means to provide our partners in Europe with a flexible, responsive and high quality service for every single project. Post-production is a critical aspect of development, but one which is often overlooked. As a pioneer in the mobile gaming sector, Distinctive understands what a huge difference it can make to the long-term success of a game. We are determined to offer development and publishing partners the same exacting standards we insist on for our own titles."

"The increasing complexity of mobile titles and the growing demand for guaranteed standards of quality control mean post-production is fast becoming the factor determines whether a game reaches its maximum potential and a truly global audience," says Wojciech. "Many content creators try to handle the post-production internally, without taking into account the scale of the task. Distinctive's focus on quality and the creation of a dedicated studio which can offer the highest levels of service ensure that it can meet the needs of partners worldwide."
